B Correct answer
Explanation

Kreb's cycle takes place in matrix of mitochondria. Hence, all enzymes for Kreb's cycle is found in mitochondria.

Multiple choice
  1. Plasma membrane - covers and protect the cell contents

  2. Cytoplasm - all cell organelles are suspended in it

  3. Endoplasmic reticulum - helps in intracellular transport

  4. Golgi bodies - stores, condenses and packs material

  5. Lysosomes - sites of cellular respiration

E Correct answer
Explanation

This is an incorrect pair as lysosomes are not the site of cellular respiration. 

Multiple choice
  1. Ribosomes

  2. Nucleus

  3. Leucoplasts

  4. Chloroplasts

  5. Chromoplasts

C Correct answer
Explanation

Leucoplasts are primary organelles in which materials such as starch, oils and protein granules get stored. Leucoplasts are also known as white plastids.

Multiple choice
  1. Adenosine triphosphate

  2. Ribosomes

  3. Lysosomes

  4. Mitochondria

  5. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

Adenosine triphosphate is often known as the energy currency of cell because the energy required for various chemical activities needed for life is released by mitochondria in the form of ATP. 

Multiple choice
  1. They provide flexibility to the membrane.

  2. They transport substances across the cytoplasmic membrane.

  3. They transport large molecules into the cells.

  4. They cooperate with other proteins in energy yielding reactions.

D Correct answer
Explanation

The inner-surface proteins cooperate with other proteins in energy yielding reactions.

Multiple choice
  1. Gas vesicles

  2. Volutin granules

  3. Carboxysomes

  4. Microcompartments

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Microcompartments are the polyhedral membrane bound compartments in the bacterial cell that are made up of a protein shell and enclose various enzymes. These polyhedral organelles localise and compartmentalise bacterial metabolism, a function performed by the membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotes.
