1-Dont try to cram or spend more time here just read it fast and cover syllabus then practice MCQ's cheptor of same topic to check your progress. . |
2-Wrong options are also given but dont concentrate there, Right answer is in bold format. |
Q1 ⇒ Nitrogen fixation by the microorganisms can be detected by adopting the approach of all of the above [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] demonstrating growth in a nitrogen free medium cultivating the microorganisms in the presence of nitrogen labeled with isotropic nitrogen measuring15N2 by mass spectrometer |
Q2 ⇒ The transformation of nitrates to gaseous nitrogen is accomplished by microorganisms in a series of biochemical reactions. The process is known as denitrification [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] nitrification nitrogen fixation ammonification |
Q3 ⇒ Which of the following statement is not true about composition of biogas? It also contains with traces of O2 and Cl2 [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] It is composed almost exclusively of methane and carbon dioxide It also contains with traces of H2S, N2, H2and CO Both (a) and (b) |
Q4 ⇒ Which of the following species of different genera of bacteria are not capable of transforming nitrate to nitrogen? None of these [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Achromobacter Agrobacterium Alcaligenes |
Q5 ⇒ The microbial ecosystem of soil includes biotic and abiotic components of soil [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] biotic components of soil abiotic components of soil none of the above |
Q6 ⇒ Which of the following microorganism use H2S as the electron donor to reduce carbon dioxide? Both (a) and (b) [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Chromaticum Chlorobium Rhodomicrobium |
Q7 ⇒ The groups of symbiotic bacteria, which have the ability to fix nitrogen all of the above [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] derive their food and minerals from the legume, and in turn they supply the legume with some or all of its nitrogen grow together for a mutual benefit is called symbiosis and so these bacteria are called symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria these bacteria are from the genus, Rhizobium |
Q8 ⇒ The nitrogenase consists of both (a) and (b) [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] dinitrogenase dinitrogenase reductase none of these |
Q9 ⇒ Which are the main source of biofertilisers? Cyanobacteria [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Bacillus Streptococcus None of these |
Q10 ⇒ Which of the following fungi on infecting crop roots can improve their uptake of phosphorus and other nutrients? VA Mycorrhiza [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Saccharomyces cerevisiae Candida torulopsis Aspergillus niger |
Q11 ⇒ Which of the following is capable of oxidizing sulfur to sulfates? Thiobacillus thiooxidans [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Desulfotomaculum Rhodospirillum Rhodomicrobium |
Q12 ⇒ The diagnostic enzyme for denitrification is nitrate reductase [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] nitrate oxidase nitro oxidoreductase none of these |
Q13 ⇒ __________ play a key role in the transformation of rock to soil. Cyanobacteia [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Pectin decomposing bacteria Nitrifying bacteria De-nitrifying bacteria |
Q14 ⇒ Nitrogen fixation both (a) and (b) [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] changes the free nitrogen (N2) to a form usable by plants especially changes nitrogen compounds, mostly amines such as NH2 fix the free nitrogen (N2) by which it should not be usable by plants |
Q15 ⇒ Which of the following soil microorganism is involved in the reduction of sulfates to H2S? Desulfotomaculum [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Thiobacillus thiooxidans Rhodospirillum Rhodomicrobium |
