Questions Related to unit of living - cell

Cuticle occurs over

  1. Virus

  2. Human cell

  3. Plant cell

  4. Bacterium


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Cuticle can be defined as a protective film which covers the epidermis of leaves, young shoots and aerial parts of the plants.
  • It is mainly made up of lipids and hydrocarbon polymers that is impregnated with wax which is synthesized by the epidermal cells.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Plant cell'.

Which statement is wrong?

  1. eIFs are initiation factors in Eukaryotes

  2. IFs are initiation factors in prokaryotes

  3. Initiator t RNA is specifically charged

  4. GTP is the power supplier for the formation of initiation comples

  5. All correct


Correct Option: A

Which one of the following statements about protein synthesis in a eukaryotic cell is true?

  1. Fornicated tRNa is important for initiation of translation

  2. Cycloheximide blocks elongation during translation

  3. Single in mRNAs specify for more than one gene product

  4. Erythromycin inhibits elongation during translation


Correct Option: A

How many of following statements are not true?
1) Some unicellular Eukaryotes are capable of fixing Nitrogen
2) Infection thread contains an oxygen scavenger called leg-haemoglobin
3) Successful infection of the root hair causes it to curl
4) Ureides have particularly high nitrogen to carbon ratio 

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Three

  4. All of above


Correct Option: A

How many organelles of a eukaryotic cell are considered to have an independent existence during early events of evolution?

  1. $1$

  2. $2$

  3. $3$

  4. $4$


Correct Option: A

Which of the following statements is true for eukaryotic cells?
i) They have unicellular cells only.
ii) They have a well organized nucleus.
iii) They have lysosomes and peroxisomes.
iv) Blue green algae are eukaryotic cells.

  1. ii and iii

  2. ii only

  3. i and ii

  4. i and iv


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells are multicellular cells. They have a well organized nucleus enclosed within nuclear membrane. They have cell organelles like mitochondria, chloroplast, lysosomes, peroxisomes, Golgi bodies, etc. Prokaryotic cells are unicellular cells. They do not have nuclear membrane. Blue green algae are prokaryotic cells as they do not have  membrane bound organelles and nucleus.

Thus, the correct answer is 'ii and iii'.

Algae bryophytes pteridothytes gymnosperms and angiosperms. How many of them are eukaryotic?

  1. All

  2. $1$

  3. $4$

  4. $3$


Correct Option: A

A mature human erythrocyte has the typical characteristic of

  1. A eukaryotic cell

  2. A prokaryotic cell

  3. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell

  4. Neither eukaryotic nor prokaryotic cell.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A mature erythrocyte has all the characters of a eukaryotic cell except the fact that they lack nucleus & other organelles because they shed other organelles  during maturation.

So, the correct optioni s 'A eukaryotic cell'.

Eukaryotics m-RNA's are associated with proteins to form RNP complexes. Some of the complexes may remain in the cytoplasm for a long time before being genetically expressed. Such complexes are known as.

  1. Ribosomes

  2. Polyribosomes

  3. Rnp fibres

  4. Informosomes


Correct Option: A

Which one of the following statements is TRUE about eukaryotic cells?

  1. Cycloheximide blocks elongation during translation

  2. Formulated ERNA is necessary for initiation of translation

  3. A single mRNA specifies for more than one gene product

  4. Erythyromycin inhibits elongation during translation


Correct Option: A
