  2. water

  3. proteins

  4. carbohydrates

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

Water is the primary component of all living cells, typically accounting for 70% to 90% of their total mass. It serves as a universal solvent for biochemical reactions and provides structural turgidity to the cell.

Multiple choice
  1. ribosomes

  2. lysosomes

  3. golgi bodies

  4. mitochondria

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

A polyribosome, or polysome, consists of a cluster of ribosomes held together by a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA). This structure allows for the simultaneous translation of a single mRNA molecule into multiple copies of a protein.

Multiple choice
  1. Chromatic

  2. Stain receiver

  3. Acid-fast

  4. Gram negative

  5. Gram positive

A Correct answer
Explanation

Tissues which take up stains are called chromatic. Chromosomes were so named because of their ability to absorb a violet stain.

Multiple choice
  1. Mitochondria and glyoxysomes

  2. Mitochondria, nucleus and ribosomes

  3. Mitochondria, chloroplasts and peroxysomes

  4. Mitochondria, chloroplasts and ribosomes

  5. Mitochondria, glyoxysomes and ribosomes

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

Mitochondria is called the power house of  cell. As photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, it needs proteins for initiating the reaction. So, photo respiration takes the aid of mitochondria, chloroplasts and peroxysomes.

Multiple choice
  1. ribosome

  2. mitochondria

  3. liver

  4. none of these

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

Mitocondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell because they generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This ATP is used as a source of chemical energy for various cellular processes. Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, and the liver is an organ.

Multiple choice
  1. Epithelial cells

  2. Melanocytes

  3. Hematopoietic cells

  4. Bones and cartilages

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

It is a cancerous growth of melanocytes.
