CELL THE UNIT OF LIFE MCQs

Total Questions : 45 | Page 1 of 5 pages
Question 1.


Nucleolus is a -


  1.     Round structure, that makes rRNA, situated in the nucleus
  2.     Round structure present near the nucleus in cytoplasm 
  3.     Rod-shaped structure present near the nucleus in the cytoplasm
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Round structure, that makes rRNA, situated in the nucleus
:
A

The nucleolus is the nuclear subdomain that assembles ribosomal subunits in eukaryotic cells. The nucleolar organiser regions of chromosomes, which contain the genes for pre‐ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA), serve as the foundation for nucleolar structure


Question 2.


Raghav kept a plant in a dark room for a week. The leaves started to look white and waxy. His mother advised him to keep the plant in a place where there was light directly falling on the plant. So he replaced the plant on the window sill where there was direct sunshine. The leaves turned green again. Which of these organelles do you credit for this change?


  1.     Plasmid
  2.     Plastids
  3.     Vacuole
  4.     Endoplasmic reticulum
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Plastids
:
B

Plastid is a small double-membraned  organelle of plant cells, occurring in several varieties, as the chloroplast, containing  ribosomes, prokaryotic DNA, and pigment.


Question 3.


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 4.


Nuclear matter without envelope occurs in  


  1.     Bacteria and Green algae
  2.     Cyanobacteria and red algae      
  3.     Mycoplasma and Green algae     
  4.     Cyanobacteria and Eubacteria
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Cyanobacteria and Eubacteria
:
D

Cyanobacteria and Eubacteria are prokaryotes and they have nuclear matter without an envelope.


Question 5.


The cell theory is not applicable to:


  1.     Algae    
  2.     Fungi
  3.     Viruses
  4.     Lichens
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Viruses
:
C

Viruses lack the typical structure of a cell and donot perform any functions of a cell hence cell theory is not applicable to viruses.


Question 6.


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 7.


Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) in the cells are constituted with


  1.     mitochondria associated with ER   
  2.     ribosomes on the surface of ER      
  3.     volutin granules on the surface of the ER
  4.     sulphur granules on the surface of the ER
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> ribosomes on the surface of ER      
:
B

Endoplasmic Reticulum consists of complex membranous systems in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The ER having ribosomes on the surface is known as RER while the ER without ribosomes is called the smooth ER.


Question 8.


Keeping in view the “fluid mosaic model” for the structure of the cell membrane, which of the following statement is correct with respect to the movement of lipids and proteins from one lipid monolayer to the other (described as flip-flop movement)?


  1.     Both lipids and proteins can flip flop
  2.     While lipids can rarely flip flop, proteins cannot
  3.     While proteins can flip flop, lipids cannot    
  4.     Neither lipids nor proteins can flip flop
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> While lipids can rarely flip flop, proteins cannot
:
B

Flip flop movement is rarely found in lipid molecules, whereas it remains absent in protein molecules.


Question 9.


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 10.


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 carbohydrates or other substances.
