Question

In comparison, which of these is correct about microbes?
Options
A Algae require sunlight but protozoans require organic compounds for energy
Correct Answer
B Fungi require sunlight but algae require organic compounds for energy
C Chloroplast present in bacteria but chloroplast absent in eucarya
D Cell wall peptidoglycan present in eucarya but absent in bacteria
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Algae are photosynthetic organisms, meaning they use sunlight to produce their own food. Protozoans are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain energy by consuming organic compounds. Fungi do not require sunlight, and bacteria do not have chloroplasts. Peptidoglycan is characteristic of bacterial cell walls, not Eucarya.

Hint

Think about the primary modes of nutrition for different microbial groups.
