Question
Which one of the following statements is wrong?
Golden algae are also called desmids
Eubacteria are also called false bacteria.
Phycomycetes are also called algal fungi.
Cyanobacteria are also called blue-green algae.
Statement 2 is wrong because the text explicitly states that Eubacteria are 'true bacteria' (the prefix 'Eu' means true) . Statement 1 is correct: Chrysophytes include diatoms and golden algae (desmids) . Statement 3 is correct: Phycomycetes are often referred to as 'algal fungi' due to their aquatic habitat and thallus structure (though the text focuses on their habitat and coenocytic mycelium, this is a standard biological fact consistent with the context) . Statement 4 is correct: Cyanobacteria are also referred to as blue-green algae .
This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Biological Classification . Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
