Question 51.


Which among the following cell organelles are double membraned?


  1.     Lysosomes
  2.     Chloroplasts
  3.     Mitochondria 
  4.     Golgi apparatus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Chloroplasts
:
B and C

  Mitochondria consists of an outer membrane and an inner membrane. The inner membrane shows many infoldings, known as cristae.
  Chloroplasts also have a double membrane like mitochondria, but no cristae.
  Lysosomes and golgi apparatus on the other hand, are single membrane bound cell organelles.


Question 52.


The primary function of leucoplasts is ___ .


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Chloroplasts
:

Leucoplasts are the white or colourless plastids. They are the primary organelles for storage of materials such as starch, oils, protein granules, etc.
Example: Leucoplasts are found in root cells, pulses, groundnut, etc.


Question 53.


Mitochondria are able to make their own proteins.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Vacuoles occupy 50-90% of the cell volume in plant cells.
  4.     In amoeba, food vacuoles digests food.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Mitochondria are specialised cell organelles which serve as batteries, powering various functions of the cell and an organism as a whole.
They have their own genetic material and ribosomes which helps in synthesising proteins. 


Question 54.


RER is rough due to the presence of _______ .


  1.     ribosomes
  2.     lysosomes
  3.     DNA
  4.     lipids
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ribosomes
:
A
Ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis, are attached to the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). Hence, RER appears to have a rough surface and is associated with protein synthesis.
Question 55.


What are the cellular flattened sacs, discovered by Camillo Golgi?


  1.     Plastid
  2.     Mitochondria
  3.     Golgi apparatus
  4.     Endoplasmic reticulum 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Golgi apparatus
:
C
The Golgi apparatus was first described by Camillo Golgi, who is renowned for his work on the nervous system.
He described the golgi apparatus as an organelle consisting of a system of membrane-bound vesicles arranged approximately parallel to each other in stacks called cisternae.
