Which of the following organisms belongs to Kingdom Monera? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following organisms belongs to Kingdom Monera?
A. Bacillus
B. Paramecium
C. Agaricus
D. Euglena
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Bacillus is a genus of rod-shaped bacteria, placed in Kingdom Monera because they are prokaryotic. Euglena and Paramecium are unicellular eukaryotes in Kingdom Protista. Agaricus (mushroom) belongs to Kingdom Fungi. Monera includes all prokaryotes like bacteria, cyanobacteria, and archaea. They are characterized by absence of true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Question #1
Which part of the human brain is primarily responsible for maintaining balance and posture?
A. Hypothalamus
B. Cerebellum
C. Medulla oblongata
D. Cerebrum

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The cerebellum is a highly folded structure located at the back of the brain, below the cerebrum. It is primarily responsible for coordinating voluntary movements, maintaining balance, posture, and equilibrium. Damage to the cerebellum results in ataxia (lack of muscle coordination). The medulla controls vital involuntary functions like breathing and heart rate.

Question #2
The technique used to separate proteins based on their isoelectric point is:
A. Western blotting
B. PCR
C. Isoelectric focusing
D. SDS-PAGE

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Isoelectric focusing (IEF) separates proteins in a pH gradient according to their isoelectric point (pI), the pH at which a protein has no net charge and stops migrating. SDS-PAGE separates by size, Western blotting detects specific proteins after separation, PCR amplifies DNA. IEF is often used in 2D gel electrophoresis.

Question #3
The scientist who proposed the 'chemiosmotic hypothesis' for ATP synthesis was:
A. Melvin Calvin
B. Hans Krebs
C. Peter Mitchell
D. Fritz Lipmann

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Peter Mitchell proposed the chemiosmotic theory (1961), explaining that a proton gradient across a membrane drives ATP synthesis. Krebs discovered the citric acid cycle, Calvin the Calvin cycle, Lipmann discovered coenzyme A.
