Multiple choice bio-chemistry cell biology cytoplasm the components in a cell component of the cell

.......... is the site for many biochemical reactions necessary to sustain life.

  1. Cytoplasm

  2. Ribosome

  3. Cell membrane

  4. Cell wall
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Ribosomes are cell organelles, which are present in free or in bound form. They are involved in the synthesis of proteins.  
The cell membrane is the outer covering of the cell, which protects the cell. It also supports the framework of the cell. 
The cell wall is a protective outer covering of the cell. It supports the contents of the cell and protects from pathogen attack and wear and tear. It is made of cellulose, lignin. 

Cytoplasm is a gel-like substance present in all cells. All of the cell organelles are suspended in the cytoplasm. Most of the cellular activities as metabolic pathways like glycolysis, key processes like cell division occur in the cytoplasm. Hence, it is the place, where life-sustaining biochemical reactions occur. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which one of the following is the carrier of cytoplasm male sterility factors in crop plants?

  1. Nuclear DNA

  2. RNA

  3. Chloroplast DNA

  4. Mitochondrial DNA
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Cytoplasmic male sterility in higher crop plants is primarily governed by mitochondrial genes located in the mitochondrial DNA. Mutations or interactions involving these organellar genomes cause pollen sterility.

Plasmagel or gel part of cytosol in contact with plasmalemma is 

  1. Ectoplasm

  2. Hyaloplasm

  3. Hyalosome

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • Cytoplasm refers to the living the material or the protoplast within a cell excluding the nucleus.
  • It is divided into two parts-  ectoplasm and endoplasm.
  • Ectoplasm- is the outer, non-granulated part of the cytoplasm. 
  • Endoplasm- is the inner granulated layer of the cytoplasm.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Ectoplasm'.

Movement of .......... in cytoplasm is considered as a signalling activity for metabolic processes.

  1. Calcium ions

  2. Proteins

  3. Sodium ions

  4. Potassium ions
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Movement of calcium ions in and out of the cytoplasm is thought to be a signalling activity for metabolic processes. In plants, movements of the cytoplasm around vacuoles are known as cytoplasmic streaming.

Cytoplasm constitutes of about .......... percentage of water.

  1. 70

  2. 80

  3. 20

  4. 40
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid surrounded by the cell membrane and holds all the organelles. It is made up of eighty percent water and is usually clear and colourless. It helps in intracellular exchange of materials.

So, the correct answer is option B.

Animal cytoplasm is composed of 

  1. Proteins

  2. Salt

  3. Nucleotides

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid present in cells that hold organelles and surrounded by the cell membrane. In eukaryotes, the nucleus of a cell is separated from the cytoplasm by a double membrane, known as a nuclear membrane. The cytoplasm of the animal cell is made of proteins, carbohydrates, salts, sugars, amino acids and nucleotides.

Which one is an extracytoplasmic cell organelle?

  1. Vacuole

  2. E.R.

  3. Nucleus

  4. Golgi apparatus
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
  • Cytoplasm refers to the living the material or the protoplast within a cell excluding the nucleus.
  • Therefore, extracytoplasmic cell organelle refers to those organelles outside to the cell cytoplasm.
  • A nucleus is the only cell organelle excluded from the cytoplasm.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Nucleus'.

Cytosol plays an important role in

  1. Digestion

  2. Reproduction

  3. Breakdown of large molecules

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The cytosol is also called as cytoplasm in a cell which holds the organelles. It consists several enzymes for different activities such as glycolysis. Glycolysis is the breakdown of large molecule glucose to simple molecule pyruvate. uses its dissolved enzymes to break down all of those larger molecules. The products can then be used by the mitochondria for the formation of energy.

Protoplast excluding nucleus is called 

  1. Cytoplasm

  2. Endoplasm

  3. Ectoplasm

  4. Protoplasm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • Protoplast refers to an entire cell including the cell membrane, cell organelles and the nucleus, excluding the cell wall (in plants and few algae).
  • Cytoplasm refers to the living the material or the protoplast within a cell excluding the nucleus.
  • So the correct answer is 'Cytoplasm'.
