Which one single organism or the pair of organisms is correctly assigned to its or their named taxonomic group?
Paramecium and Plasmodium belong to the same kingdom as that of Penicillium
Lichen is a composite organism formed from the symbiotic association of algae and a protozoan
Yeast used in making bread and beer is a fungus
Nostoc and Anabaena are examples of Protista
the third option is the only correct assignment. Yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is identified as a unicellular fungus used in the production of bread and beer . The other statements are incorrect: Paramecium and Plasmodium are single-celled eukaryotes belonging to Kingdom Protista, while Penicillium is a member of Kingdom Fungi . Lichens are symbiotic associations between algae and fungi, not protozoans . Finally, Nostoc and Anabaena are cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), which are prokaryotes classified under Kingdom Monera, not Protista .
