Question #1
The marine algae that form the basis of many aquatic food chains and produce much of Earth's oxygen are:
A. Red algae
B. Brown algae
C. Green algae
D. Phytoplankton

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Phytoplankton, including cyanobacteria, diatoms, and dinoflagellates, are microscopic photosynthetic organisms that drift in oceans and freshwaters. They are primary producers responsible for about half of global oxygen production. Brown, red, and green macroalgae also contribute but phytoplankton are the primary oxygen producers.

Question #2
A virus particle (virion) consists of genetic material enclosed in a protein coat called:
A. Plasmid
B. Capsid
C. Cell wall
D. Envelope

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A virus is an obligate intracellular parasite. The basic structure of a virus particle, or virion, consists of genetic material (either DNA or RNA, but never both) enclosed in a protective protein coat called a capsid, made of subunits called capsomeres. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane.

Question #3
The respiratory pigment in human blood that transports oxygen is:
A. Myoglobin
B. Cytochrome
C. Hemoglobin
D. Hemocyanin

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Hemoglobin is a red, iron-containing protein in red blood cells (erythrocytes) that reversibly binds oxygen to form oxyhemoglobin. Each molecule has four heme groups, each binding one O₂ molecule. Hemocyanin (copper-based) is found in some invertebrates. Myoglobin stores oxygen in muscles. Cytochromes are electron carriers in respiration. Hemoglobin also transports CO₂ as carbaminohemoglobin.
