Consider the following statements:1. The common blue green algae, Spirogyra and Ulothrix, are found in both freshwater ponds and oceans.2. The Chameleon can look ahead with one eye, and at the same time look behind with another. Which of these statements is/are correct?
✓ Correct answer: c) Both 1 and 2
ExplanationStatement 1 is correct: Spirogyra and Ulothrix are types of blue green algae that can be found in both freshwater and marine environments.They are typically found in ponds, rivers, and even oceans in some cases.Spirogyra is known for its spiral-shaped chloroplasts and forms slimy green filaments/ mats on the water surface, especially when nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus are abundant while Ulothrix is characterized by its simple, unbranched filaments and typically grows in both freshwater ponds and coastal regions.These algae play an important role in the aquatic food chain.Statement 2 is correct: Chameleons have a unique ability to move their eyes independently of each other.They can focus one eye on an object in front while the other eye looks in a different direction, even behind them.This independent eye movement enables them to have a 360-degree view of their surroundings, aiding in predator detection and prey surveillance.386
