Question 31. Nucleolus is
  1.    rounded structure found in cytoplasm neat nucleus.
  2.    rounded structure inside nucleus having r RNA.
  3.    rod-shaped structure in cytoplasm near the nucleus.
  4.    none of the above.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> rounded structure inside nucleus having r RNA.
:
B
Nucleolus is a rounded structure inside nucleus having r – RNA.
Question 32. Regarding the assertion and reason; choose the correct option.
 
Assertion [A]: Mitochondria are also called "The Powerhouse of the Cell” .
Reason [R]: Significant role of Mitochondria is to produce ATP .
  1.    Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is False.
  2.    Reason [R] is True and Assertion [A] is False.
  3.    Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True and is a correct explanation of [A].
  4.    Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True but is not a correct explanation of [A].
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True and is a correct explanation of [A].
:
C
Mitochondria is a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. The most prominent role of mitochondria is to produce the energy currency of the cell which is the ATP.Therefore, Mitochondria are also called "The Powerhouse of the Cell”.
Question 33. Plasma membrane is 
  1.    Selectively permeable
  2.     permeable 
  3.    Impermeable
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Selectively permeable
:
A
plasma memebrane is selectively permeable as it allows the diffusion of only certain substances.
Question 34. Amyloplasts stores ______________.
  1.    Carbohydrates
  2.    Oils
  3.    Proteins
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Carbohydrates
:
A
Amyloplasts stores carbohydrates.
Question 35. Assertion: Eukaryotic cells have the ability to adopt a variety of shapes and carry out directed movements.
 Reason: There are three principal types of protein filaments-actin filament, microtubules and intermediate filaments, which constitute the cytoskeleton.
  1.    Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  2.    Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  3.    Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  4.    Both Assertion and Reason are false
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
:
A
Eukaryotic cells (particularly) animal and lower plant cells) have the ability to adopt averiety of shapes and carry out directed movements because they have a network of proteinfibres that support the shape of the cell and anchor organelles to fixed location. This network is called cytoskeleton. Later is made up ofactin filaments, which are made of two strands of the fibrous protein twisted together and usually occur in bundles.
(i)Actin Filaments are ubiquitous, and are concentrated below the plasma membrane in bundles known
as stressfibres, which may have a contractile function.
(ii)Microtubules, which are composed of 13 stacks of tubulin protein subunits arranged side by side to
form a tube. Microtubules are comparatively stiff cytoskeletal elements that serve to organize
metabolism and intracellular transport in the non-dividing cell.
(iii)Intermediate filaments,which are composed of overlapping staggered tetramers of protein. This
molecular arrangement allows for a rope-like structure that imparts tremendous mechanical
strength to the cell.
Question 36. Assertion Mitochondria and chloroplast are semi- autonomous organelles.
Reason They are formed by the division of pre-existing organelles 
  1.    Both Assertion and Reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  2.    Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  3.    Assertion is true but Reason is false
  4.    Both Assertion and Reason are false
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Both Assertion and Reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
:
A
Mitochondria and chloroplast are semi-autonomous cell organelles, which contain their own DNA and protein synthesizing machinery. They arise from pre-existing organelles and their functions are partially controlled by the nucleus of a cell and partially themselves.
Question 37. Which organelle looks like a stack of hollow pancakes?
  1.    lysosomes
  2.    mitochondria
  3.    chloroplast
  4.    Golgi apparatus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Golgi apparatus
:
D
The Golgi apparatus looks like a stack of hollow pancakes; the mitochondria are long, lysosomes are round .
Question 38. What is the function of the centrosome?
  1.    to control the nucleus
  2.    to regulate the assembly of microfilaments
  3.    to regulate the assembly of microtubules
  4.    to control the Golgi apparatus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> to regulate the assembly of microtubules
:
C
The centrosome regulates the assembly of microfilaments.
Question 39. The fluid-mosaic model was advocated by:
  1.    Robertson
  2.    Singer and Nicolson 
  3.    Danielli
  4.    Davson
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Singer and Nicolson 
:
B
The fluid-mosaic model was proposed by singer and nicolson to explain the structure of plasma membrane.
Question 40. Cell wall in bacteria is made up of __________.
  1.    Pectin
  2.    Cellulose
  3.    Chitin
  4.    Murein
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Murein
:
D
Cell wall in bacteria is made up of peptidoglycan or murein.
