2017 MARCH


1.   Algae are useful to man in a variety of ways. Suggest any four uses of algae. (2)

✔️Answer:


-  Many marine algae such as Sargassum are used as food.

Gelidium & Gracilaria produce Agar.

-  Some marine brown & red algae produce hydrocolloids (water holding substances).

Chlorella & Spirulina are used as food supplements by space travelers.


2016 MARCH

2.   Distinguish between mycorrhiza and coralloid roots. (2)

✔️Answer:


- Mycorrhiza: It is the fungal association with roots of some gymnosperms such as Pinus.
- Coralloid roots: Small specialized roots in plants like Cycas that are associated with N2- fixing cyanobacteria.
