What are plastids? How are they classified on the basis of the type of pigments? Name them and their
pigments and mention their functions.
The cell walls of fungi are strengthened by chitin, a strong but flexible polysaccharide. Which of these statements about the function of chitin in fungal cell wall is TRUE?
a.
Chitin-rich walls of fungi improves feeding by facilitated diffusion.
b.
The movement of water and nutrients into fungal cells creates pressure that could cause them to burst if they were not surrounded by a chitin-rich cell wall.
c.
The chitin present in fungal cell wall does not impart any advantage in terms of nutrient acquisition from the environment.
d.
Chitinous tubular cell walls confers motility to multicellular fungi.
What are plastids? Discuss the three types of plastids and their functions.

If there are Paramecia in your field of view you probably will recognize them immediately. Often, however, students do have difficulty both finding a Paramecium, and after they have found one, making it move slowly enough so they can study it at high magnification. The trick to finding a Paramecium is to scan the entire slide quickly using the scanning lens. Then, if you do not find one, make a new slide and search again. Often, Paramecia tend to move to the edges of the coverslip, and even "escape" the coverslip at its edges.
