Cell Biology and Structure Questions
-
Fibronectin
-
Integrin
-
F-spondin
-
Selectin
-
Protein Z
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This option is correct. In humans, F-spondin is secreted by the cells of floor plate.
-
Scramblase
-
CFTR
-
Hemeprotein
-
Ependymin
-
Glycophorin C
E
Correct answer
Explanation
This option is correct. Glycophorin C plays an important role in maintaining erythrocyte shape and regulating membrane material properties.
-
minerals
-
water
-
proteins
-
carbohydrates
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.
-
chloroplasts
-
mitochondria
-
cell wall
-
vacuole
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Guard cells contain chloroplasts to manufacture the food by photosynthesis, but epidermal cells lack chloroplasts.
-
pluripotency
-
totipotency
-
parasexuality
-
parthenogenesis
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Pluripotency is the ability of a cell to differentiate into many different cell types that make up the body, but not the extra-embryonic tissues. Totipotency is the ability to differentiate into all possible cell types, including the placenta.
-
ribosomes
-
lysosomes
-
golgi bodies
-
mitochondria
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.
-
Chromatic
-
Stain receiver
-
Acid-fast
-
Gram negative
-
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.
-
Mitochondria and glyoxysomes
-
Mitochondria, nucleus and ribosomes
-
Mitochondria, chloroplasts and peroxysomes
-
Mitochondria, chloroplasts and ribosomes
-
Mitochondria, glyoxysomes and ribosomes
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.
-
deer
-
crocodile
-
sparrow
-
rose plant
-
fishes
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Yes, it is correct. In rose plant, this growth by cell division occurs continuously throughout its life span.
-
By cell division
-
By accumulation of matter
-
By filling of spaces with air
-
By chemical reaction
-
By budding
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Yes, it is correct. Growth in non-living things happens because of accumulation of matter from outside, like in clouds.
-
ribosome
-
mitochondria
-
liver
-
none of these
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.
-
It remains confined to the site of infection.
-
It spreads to other parts of the body.
-
It grows very slowly initially.
-
It enters into blood and lymph.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
It is a characteristic of benign tumor.
-
Epithelial cells
-
Melanocytes
-
Hematopoietic cells
-
Bones and cartilages
B
Correct answer
Explanation
It is a cancerous growth of melanocytes.
-
Smooth muscle fibres
-
Unstriped muscle fibres
-
Endothelial cells
-
Collagen fibres
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Wall of tunica interna is made of endothelial cells.
-
deoxyribonucleic acid
-
amino acid
-
tartartic acid
-
fatty acid
-
citric acid
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct option. Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA has specific genetic information and controls every feature of the body such as colour, looks, etc.
