Which of the following staements is not true for Nostoc?
- A It is prokaryotic
- B It is autotrophic
- C It is filamentous
- D It is macroscopic
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) It is macroscopic
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) It is macroscopic,
Nostoc is prokaryotic, autotrophic, and filamentous, but it is not macroscopic. It forms colonies that can appear as gelatinous masses, which may seen larger but are composed of microscopic filaments of cells. Thus, Nostoc itself remains microscopic.
