It contains abundant quantities of pigments, phycobilin, phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, due to which the sea appears red or pinkish.
503. Plants adapted to dry climate are known as-

1. Epiphyte
2. Xerophyte
3. Hydrophytes
4. Mean plants

Option “2” is correct
A xerophyte is a species of plant that has adapted to survive in a dry environment.
504. Which one of the following is not a plant hormone?

1. Cytokinin
2. Ethylene
3. Insulin
4. Gibberellin

Option “3” is correct
A hormone produced in the pancreas by islets of Langerhans, which regulates the amount of glucose in the blood. The lack of insulin causes diabetes.
505. Plants which grow on saline soils are-

1. Xerophytes
2. Hydrophytes
3. Halophytes
4. Succulents

Option “3” is correct
Hydrophytes or aquatic plants are plants that have adapted to live in an aquatic environment (saltwater or freshwater). They are also referred as macrophytes. These plants require special adaptations for living submerged in water or at the water’s surface. Plants growing on saline soils or water are called halophytes.
506. Fish generally breathe through-

2. Fructose
3. Deoxyribose
4. None of these

Option “3” is correct

1. Protozoa
2. Annelida
3. Porifera
4. Platyhelminthes

Option “1” is correct
Amoeba is a genus that belongs to protozoa, which are unicellular eukaryotes organisms with membrane-bound cell organelles.
510. Other name of Platelets is?

1. Leucocytes
2. Erythrocytes
3. Lymphocytes
4. Thrombocytes

Option “4” is correct
Platelets, also called thrombocytes are a component of blood whose function (along with the coagulation factors) is to stop bleeding by clumping and clotting blood vessel injuries.
