  1. A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1

  2. A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4

  3. A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1

  4. A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4

  5. A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2

Show answer
Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Sphaerosomes are single half unit membrane covered small spherical organelles which synthesize and store fats. The cell wall of bacteria is made up of glycocalyx (carbohydrate and amino acids). Chloroplasts are eukaryotic plant cell organelles which have an internal thylakoid membrane system. The thylakoid membranes carry out the light reactions part of photosynthesis. The chromosomes of a eukaryotic cells are called its karyotype. The diagrammatic representation of a cells karyotype is called an idiogram.

During breakdown of lecithin which of the following is not obtained?

biology cell and cell organelles cell membrane and cell wall cell wall cell division in embryo development

  1. Trihydroxy propane

  2. Fatty acid

  3. Choline

  4. Sphingosine

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Lecithin is also known as phosphatidylcholine (a group of phospholipids) which are important for maintaining the cell structure and metabolism.
  • Lecithins are composed of phosphoric acid, choline, esters of glycerol and two fatty acids. 
  • Thus, during the breakdown of lecithin fatty acid, choline and sphingosine are obtained.
  • So the correct answer is 'Trihydroxy propane'.

Robert Hooke discovered the ___ of a cell

biology cell and cell organelles cell membrane and cell wall cell wall cell division in embryo development

  1. cell membrane

  2. Nucleus

  3. Cell wall

  4. cytoplasm

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cell wall was discovered by Robert Hooke, in 1665, when he saw an empty box like compartments in a very thin slice of cork under his microscope. He wrote a book Micrographia and coined the term Cellula which was later on changed into cells. Robert Hooke thought cells to be passages for conducting fluids. Actually, he had observed compartments made up of the cell wall and not true living cells.

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, it can be best deduced by?

biology cell and cell organelles cell membrane and cell wall cell wall cell division in embryo development

  1. The entry of water

  2. The entry of selective mineral salts

  3. Both A and B

  4. The rise of sap in plants

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
A selectively permeable membrane will allow free passage of solvent or water molecules, however, the entry of solute particles will be selectively allowed. In other words, not all but selected solute particles will be allowed to pass through.

Which one of the following is wrong statement.

biology cell and cell organelles cell membrane and cell wall cell wall cell division in embryo development

  1. Anabaena and Nostoc are capable of fixing nitrogen- in

    free living state also

  2. Root nodule forming nitrogen fixers live as aerobes

  3. Phosphours is a constituent of all members ,certain

    nucleic acids and all proteins

  4. Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are chemoautotrophs

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Anabaena and Nostoc are also free-living nitrogen fixers.
Root nodule forming nitrogen fixers enzyme (nitrogenase) works only under the anaerobic condition.
Phosphorus is a constituent of cell membranes as a phospholipid, in nucleic acid as phosphate group and proteins are rich in phosphorus.
Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter play an important role in nitrification. They are chemoautotrophs.
So the correct answer is 'Root nodule forming nitrogen fixers live as aerobes under free-living conditions'

  2. Neither lipids, nor proteins can flip flop

  3. Both lipids and proteins can flip flop

  4. While lipids can rarely flip flop, proteins can not
