Which of the following organisms is included in the Kingdom Monera? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following organisms is included in the Kingdom Monera?
A. Yeast
B. Cyanobacteria
C. Amoeba
D. Mushroom
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Kingdom Monera includes all prokaryotic organisms, which lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are prokaryotes and thus belong to Monera. Amoeba is a protist, while yeast and mushrooms are fungi, which belong to the Kingdom Fungi and are eukaryotic.

The process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia by microorganisms is called:
A. Denitrification
B. Nitrification
C. Nitrogen fixation
D. Ammonification

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Biological nitrogen fixation, performed by bacteria (Rhizobium, Azotobacter) and cyanobacteria, reduces N₂ to NH₃. Nitrification oxidizes ammonia to nitrates, denitrification returns N₂, ammonification releases ammonia from organic matter.

Question #3
The meristematic tissue responsible for the increase in the length of the plant is:
A. Apical meristem
B. Intercalary meristem
C. Lateral meristem
D. Both B and C

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Apical meristems at root and shoot tips contribute to primary growth (increase in length). Intercalary meristems, located at nodes and leaf bases, also aid in elongation, especially in grasses. Lateral meristems (vascular cambium, cork cambium) cause secondary growth (increase in girth). So both apical and intercalary meristems are responsible for length increase.
