Question 11. Cell organelle that converts radiant energy into chemical energy.
  1.    Chloroplast
  2.    Mitochondria
  3.    Ribosomes
  4.    Lysosomes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Chloroplast
:
A
Chloroplasts are small green, bean shaped organelles and are the site of photosynthesis, allowing the the plant to convert light (radiant) energy into chemical potential energy.
Question 12. The primary constriction of a chromosome is indicated by 
  1.    Chromocentre
  2.    Centromere
  3.    Satellite
  4.    Telomere
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Centromere
:
B
The primary constriction of a chromosome is indicated by the centromere.
Question 13. All the following are organelles of the cell except:
  1.    Plastids
  2.    resins
  3.    Golgi
  4.    ER
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> resins
:
B
Resins are ergastic substances .Ergastic substancesare non-protoplasmmaterials found in cells. These are not considered as cell organelles.
Question 14. 80s ribosomes can be separated into subunits
  1.    50s & 30s
  2.    60s & 40s
  3.    60s & 20s
  4.    70s & 10s
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 60s & 40s
:
B
Eukaryotic ribosomes(80 S ribosomes)have two unequalsubunits, designated smallsubunit(40S) and largesubunit(60S) according to their sedimentation coefficients
Question 15. Which one of the following organelle has its own DNA?
  1.    Mitochondria             
  2.    Dictyosome 
  3.    Lysosome                   
  4.    Peroxisome
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Mitochondria             
:
A
In mitochondria, the inner membrane space is filled with a matrix that contains dense granules along with ribosomes and mitochondrial DNA. The mitochondrial DNA is circular in nature, hence mitochondria are also called as the semiautonomous organelle.
Question 16. If living cells were also found on another planet where there is no oxygen, then which cell organelle would most probably be absent ?
  1.    Cell Membrane  
  2.    Ribosomes
  3.    Mitochondria
  4.    Chromosomes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Mitochondria
:
C
In the absence of oxygen, respiration does not take place and mitochondria would be absent, as in mitochondria aerobic respiration occurs.
Question 17. Subunits in prokaryotic ribosomes are 
  1.    60 S, 40 S   
  2.    50 S, 30 S
  3.    40 S, 30 S
  4.    50 S, 20 S
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 50 S, 30 S
:
B
Prokaryotic ribosome is of 70 S type, which consists of two sub units, a small 30 S subunit and a large 50 S subunit. Eukaryotic ribosome is of 80 S type. It consists of two subunits, a small 40 S subunit and a large 60 S subunit.
Question 18. Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
  1.    Cristae – The “shelves” formed by the folding of the inner membrane of the mitochondrian.
  2.    Plasmodesmata – The membrane surrounding the vacuole in plants.
  3.    Grana – Membrane bound discs in chloroplasts that contain chlorophylls and carotenoids.     
  4.    Middle Lamella – Layer between adjacent cell walls in plants derived from cell plate.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Plasmodesmata – The membrane surrounding the vacuole in plants.
:
B
The membrane which surrounds the vacuole is known as the tonoplast.
Question 19. Select the wrong statement from the following     
  1.    Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain an inner and outer membrane   
  2.    Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have an internal compartment, the thlakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane.    
  3.    Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain DNA
  4.    The chloroplasts are generally much larger than the mitochondria.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have an internal compartment, the thlakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane.    
:
B
Thylakoid space is present only in chloroplasts. The inner membrane of mitochondria folded to form cristae.
Question 20. The RER in the cell synthesised protein which would be later used in building the plasma membrane. But it is observed that the protein in the membrane is slightly different from the protein made in the RER. The protein was probably modified in another cell organelle. Identify that organelle which modifies a protein from the given diagram.
The RER In The Cell Synthesised Protein Which Would Be Later...
  1.    D
  2.    A
  3.    B
  4.    C
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> D
:
A
From the given options 'D' represents golgi complex. Golgi bodies are the organelles which modifies proteins by adding carbohydratesor other substances.
