In Amoeba, the cell division takes place ____

  1. Involving changes in the chromatin reticulum

  2. Without involving changes in the chromatin reticulum

  3. Leading to reduction in the number of chromosomes

  4. Without dividing the nucleus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Through the cell division process one cell splits into two identical cells. There can be two kind of cell divisions- Mitosis and Meiosis. Cell division mitosis takes place in Amoeba for replicating genetic material (chromatin network) into the daughter cells. It is a form of asexual reproduction in unicellular organisms like Amoeba. The process is known as binary fission.
So, the correct answer is 'Involving changes in the chromatin reticulum'

Some bacteria are considered plants as they

  1. Are green in colour

  2. Have rigid cell wall

  3. Have chlorophyll

  4. Have stomata


Correct Option: C

In bacteria the site for respiratory activity is found in

  1. Episome

  2. Microsome

  3. Ribosome

  4. Cell membrane$/$ Mesosome


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In bacteria the site for respiratory activity is found in mesosomes. Mesosomes are folded invaginations in the cell membrane of bacteria. They increases the surface area required for respiration. They contain respiratory enzymes. It is the site of respiratory activity.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Cell membrane/ Mesosome.'

Sex factor of bacteria is

  1. RNA

  2. Sex pili

  3. F-factor

  4. Chromosome replicon


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

F-factor is also called as fertility factor. It is the sex factor of bacteria. It allows the transfers of genes from one bacterium carrying the factor to another bacterium lacking the factor by the process of conjugation. It is found in some bacteria only.

Thus, the correct answer is 'F-factor.'

Which is not true of bacterial cell wall?

  1. Not antigenic

  2. Provides shape to bacterium

  3. Not stainable with simple dyes

  4. Made of mucopeptide


Correct Option: A

Murein of bacterial cell wall is derivative of

  1. Vitamin

  2. Fat

  3. Organic acid

  4. Sugar


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The bacterial cell wall is made up of Peptidoglycan or murein. It is a polymer that is made up of sugars and amino acids. The sugar component is made up of alternating N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM). NAM is then attached to an amino acid chain of L-alanine, D-glutamic acid, diaminopimelic acid (DAP) and D-alanine. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Sugar.'

Bacterial cell membrane is made up of

  1. Chitin

  2. Cellulose

  3. Proteins and phospholipids

  4. Fats


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bacteria is a unicellular prokaryotic organism. It has a cell wall around the cell membrane. The bacterial cell membrane is made up of proteins and phospholipids. the proteins in are randomly distributed in the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Proteins and phospholipids.'

Some bacteria have a capsule outside cell wall. It is made of

  1. Protein

  2. Cellulose

  3. Fat

  4. Mucopolysaccharide


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Some bacteria have a capsule outside cell wall. It is made up of mucopolysaccharide. The functions of mucopolysaccharide are;

  • It enhances the ability of bacteria to cause disease. 
  • It protects cells from engulfment by macrophages. 
  • It protects cells from desiccation.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Mucopolysaccharide.'
