CELL - STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION MCQs

Total Questions : 55 | Page 6 of 6 pages
Question 51.


Animal cells are well protected because they possess thick cell walls.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Eye of amoeba
  4.     Vacuole of amoeba
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Cell walls are present in plants, bacteria, and fungi. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, they are bounded by the cell membrane alone. The cell wall is more rigid than the cell membrane and provides structural and mechanical support to cells. Cell walls also protect cells from the entry of pathogens.
Question 52.


Which among the following organelles synthesise lipids?


  1.     Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
  2.     Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
  3.     Golgi apparatus
  4.     Lysosome
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
:
A
Lipids are synthesised by the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER), while the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) synthesises proteins with the help of ribosomes attached to them.
Question 53.


Which organelle is called the "powerhouse of the cell"?


  1.     Golgi apparatus
  2.     Mitochondrion
  3.     Endoplasmic reticulum
  4.     Nucleus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Mitochondrion
:
B

The mitochondrion is called the "powerhouse of the cell" because it is responsible for producing energy-rich ATP molecules. Cells use ATP for all their energy needs. 


Question 54.


Which among the following is/are the function(s) of lysosomes?


  1.     Breaking down of food particles.
  2.     Protection against the pathogens.
  3.     Digest worn-out cells.
  4.     Perform photosynthesis.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Protection against the pathogens.
:
A, B, and C
Lysosomes break down and digest food particles in a cell. They also help the cell to protect itself from pathogens, by forming a complex along with the pathogen, called phagolysosome. They also aid in recycling proteins and digesting  worn-out cells. Hence, they are known as the 'suicidal bags'.
Question 55.


What are pseudopodia?


  1.     Heart of amoeba
  2.     False feet of amoeba
  3.     Eye of amoeba
  4.     Vacuole of amoeba
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False feet of amoeba
:
B
What Are pseudopodia?
Amoeba have pseudopodia, which are projections of varying lengths protruding out of its body. Amoeba does not have a regular shape and uses pseudopodia for locomotion and digestion.
