Biology
Choose the odd one out and write the category of the remaining terms :
(a) Bacteria, Fungi, Vulture, Protists
(b) Air, Water, Plants, Temperature
(c) Rice, Grass, Grasshopper, Maize
(d) Deer, Rabbits, Tigers, Rats
(e) Plasmodium, Tiger, Liver fluke, Tapeworm
Answer
(a) Vulture
Reason — Vulture is a scavenger, not a microorganism. Bacteria, fungi and protists are mostly microscopic organisms. Therefore, the category of the remaining terms is microorganisms.
(b) Plants
Reason — Plants are living organisms. Air, water and temperature are non-living physical factors needed for life. Therefore, the category of the remaining terms is abiotic components.
(c) Grasshopper
Reason — Grasshopper is an insect and a consumer that eats plants. Rice, grass and maize are green plants. Therefore, the category of the remaining terms is producers.
(d) Tiger
Reason — Tiger is a carnivore that eats other animals. Deer, rabbits and rats mostly eat plants, so they are herbivores. Therefore, the category of the remaining terms is herbivores/primary consumers.
(e) Tiger
Reason — Tiger is a predator, not a parasite. Plasmodium, liver fluke and tapeworm are parasites. Therefore, the category of the remaining terms is parasites.
