Questions Related to organisation of the organism

Which of the following life processes does not take place in animal cells?

  1. Movement

  2. Respiration

  3. Excretion

  4. Photosynthesis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The animal cells lack the cellular organelle chloroplast. The chloroplast or the chlorophyll pigments are required for carrying out photosynthesis by capturing solar energy. The animal cells devoid of this organelle cannot perform photosynthesis.

Thus, the correct answer is option D. 

Cell wall is absent in which of the following?

  1. Plants

  2. Animals

  3. Mucor

  4. Bacteria


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Plants, algae, fungi, bacteria and some archaea have cell walls but animals and protozoa do not have cell walls. Animal cells have plasma membrane.

Which of the following organelles is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

  1. Nucleus

  2. Mitochodrion

  3. Chloroplast

  4. Golgi apparatus.


Correct Option: C

Interconvertible organelle in plant cell is 

  1. Plastids

  2. Vacuole

  3. Mitochondria

  4. Lysosome


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Chloroplasts (Green Plastids) are plant cell organelles which take part in photosynthesis and temporary or permanent storage of starch. In green alga, chloroplasts are of various shapes and sizes but chloroplasts of higher plants are disc-shaped with a diameter of 4 to 6 micrometer and thickness of 2 to 4 micrometer. In embryophytes, they are the second largest cell organelle, smaller only to the nucleus.
Chromosomes are not distinct cell organelles.
Both Golgi apparatus and mitochondria are much smaller than chloroplasts.
So, the correct answer is 'Plastids'

Select the wrong statement from the following.

  1. The chloroplasts are generally much larger than mitochondria

  2. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain an inner and an outer membrane

  3. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have an internal compartment, the thylakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane

  4. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain DNA


Correct Option: A

Conversion of $NO _3^-$ to $NO _2^-$ occurs in-

  1. Cytosol of plant cells

  2. Chloroplast

  3. Mithochondria

  4. Peroxisome


Correct Option: A

A plant cell placed in $0.7\,M$ sugar solution was found with no change in cell volume. If the same plant cell is placed in $0.7\,M$ of $NaCl$ solution , then there will be

  1. No change in cell volume

  2. Increase in cell volume

  3. Decrease in cell volume

  4. initial increase and eventually decrease in cell volume


Correct Option: A

Planet cells that are photosynthetically  active are found in the ______ layer of leaf and are ____ cells.

  1. Epidermis ,Parenchymatous

  2. Mesophyll,Parenchymatous

  3. Mesophyll, Sclerenchymatous

  4. Aerenchyma,Collenchymatous


Correct Option: A

Which is incorrect for chloroplast

  1. Presence in algae and plants

  2. Release $O _2$

  3. Occurs only in cells with aerobic respiration

  4. None


Correct Option: C

In plant cell, the vacuole

  1. Contains air and lacks membrane

  2. Contains water and excretory substances but lacks membrane

  3. Contains storage protein and lipids and is membrane bound

  4. Is membrane bound, contains water and excretory substances.


Correct Option: D
