Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Function)	List-II (Organism)
(A) Nitrogen fixation (bacterium)	(I) Saccharomyces
(B) Phosphorous absorption	(II) Azospirillum
(C) Nitrogen fixation (cyanobacterium)	(III) Glomus
(D) Ethanol Production	(IV) Oscillatoria

• A. (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
• B. (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
• C. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
• D. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The objective is to correctly match functions in List-I with their corresponding organisms in List-II.

Analysis of each function:

1. (A) Nitrogen fixation (bacterium): Certain bacteria, exemplified by Azospirillum, are known for fixing atmospheric nitrogen.
2. (B) Phosphorous absorption: Mycorrhizal fungi, such as Glomus, are primarily responsible for aiding plants in absorbing phosphorus.
3. (C) Nitrogen fixation (cyanobacterium): Cyanobacteria, like Oscillatoria, also perform atmospheric nitrogen fixation.
4. (D) Ethanol Production: This process is typically achieved through fermentation by yeast, specifically Saccharomyces.

Based on the analysis, the correct pairings are: (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
