Explanation / Answer

.33. Answer is optian (A) They have different chemicals in their cell membrane and cell wall, becouse bacteria have peptidoglycan cell wall composed of disaccharides and amino acids gives bacteria structural support but archaeal cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan. Archea have different membrane lipid bonding compared to Bacteria. Archaeal lipids lack the fatty acids found in Bacteria and and instead have side chains composed of repeating units of isoprene.

34. Answer is optian (E) RNA, Like DNA, RNA can replicate & store genetic information; like protein enzymes Ribozymes can catalyze chemical reactions that are critical for life. One of the most critical components of the cell, the ribosome, is composed primarily of RNA.

35. Answer is optian (C) Self replicating RNA molecule, called ribozymes have been found to catalyze different functions like ribozymes can make complementary copies of short stretches of their own sequence or other short pieces of RNA.

36. Answer is optian (A) Coenozoic period with greatest increase in the no. of extant species.

37. Answer is optian (A) they carryout only nitrogen fixation.

38. Answer is optian (B) 1,2,3.4 .

39. Answer is option (D) Gram negative bacteria.

40. Answer is optian (B) Oxygen
