Mark the given statements True (T) or False (F).
(i) Aristotle was the earliest scientist to attempt a more scientific basis for classification. He used complex morphological characters to classify plants into trees, shrubs and herbs.
(ii) Fungi have cellulose in their walls while green plants have chitin in cell wall.
(iii) According to five kingdom of classification, the unicellular prokaryotic organisms were placed in kingdom Protista.
(iv) The classification system is not only based on morphological, physiological and reproductive similarities, but is also phylogenetic i.e. is based on evolutionary relationships.
(v) Methanogens are present in the gut of several ruminant animals such as cows and buffaloes and they are responsible for the production of methane form the dung of these animals.
(vi) In Nostoc, site of oxygen fixation is heterocysts.
(vii) Cholera, tetanus, citrus canker are well known diseases of plants caused by different bacteria
(viii) Bacteria reproduce mainly by fission.
(ix) The mycoplasma are organisms that completely lack a cell wall. They are smallest living cells known and can survive without oxygen.
(x) Chrysophytes, EEuglenoids and Slime moulds belong to kingdom Protista.

(i) False – Aristotle did classify plants into trees, shrubs, herbs, but not on a modern scientific basis.
(ii) False – Fungi have chitin, plants have cellulose (reversed in statement).
(iii) False – Prokaryotes are in Monera, not Protista.
(iv) True – Modern classification includes phylogenetic relationships.
(v) True – Methanogens produce methane in ruminant gut.
(vi) False – In Nostoc, heterocysts are for nitrogen fixation, not oxygen fixation.
