Q91
The main organelle involved in modification and routing of newly synthesized proteins to their destinations is -
A Mitochondria
B Endoplasmic Reticulum
C Chloroplast
D Lysosome
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Endoplasmic reticulum transports proteins and enzymes to their destinations within the cell and outside the cell.

Q92
A student wishes to study the cell structure under a light microscope having 10X eyepiece and 45X objective. He should illuminate the object by which one of the following colours of light so as get the best possible resolution ?
A Yellow
B Red
C Blue
D Green
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Resolution of microscope is inversely proportional to wavelength of light used.

Out of four options given, blue light has minimum wavelength and hence maximum resolution.

Q93
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is located in
A Stroma
B Grana
C Pyrenoid
D Both (A) and (C)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Internally a chloroplast contains a matrix or stroma.

The chlorophyll pigments are located in the grana (thylakoid membranes).

Q94
The telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes consist of short sequences of
A Adenine rich repeats
B Cytosine rich repeats
C Thymine rich repeats
D Guanine rich repeats
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Telomeres are non sticky terminal ends of the chromosomes.

They contain heterochromatin and repetitive DNA that is guanine rich.

Q95
In chloroplasts, chlorophyll is present in the :-
A Outer membrane
B Inner membrane
C Thylakoids
D Stroma
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The thylakoid membranes possess the chlorophylls.

The outer membrane is permeable to a number of solutes.

Stroma forms the matrix containing the enzyme for Calvin cycle.

Q96
Cellular totipotency is demonstrated by :-
A All eukaryotic cells
B Only gymnosperm cells
C Only bacterial cells
D All plant cells
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Totipotency is the ability of a living somatic plant cell to develop into a complete plant.

It was first demonstrated by Steward et al. (1964) using phloem cells of carrot.

Q97
Ribosomes are produced in :
A Mitochondria
B Golgibody
C Nucleolus
D Cytoplasm
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Nucleolus synthesizes and stores RNA.

The ribosomal proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm and shift to the nucleolus for the formation of ribosomal subunits by complexing with rRNA.

Q98
Which of the following ribosomes are engaged in protein synthesis in animal cell ?
A Ribosomes of only nucleolus and cytosol
B Ribosomes which occur on nuclear membrane and E.R.
C Ribosomes of only mitochondria and cytosol
D Ribosomes of only cytosol
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Ribosomes present in nuclear membrane and endoplasmic reticulum take part in protein synthesis.

Two or more ribosomes simultaneously engaged in protein synthesis on the same mRNA strand form polyribosomes.

Q99
Which one of the following is the site for active ribosomal RNA synthesis?
A Centrosome
B Chromatin
C Nucleolus
D Kinetochore
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Nucleolus is the site for active ribosomal RNA synthesis.

Q100
The organelles that are included in the endomembrane system are
A Golgi complex, Endoplasmic reticulum, Mitochondria and Lysosomes
B Endoplasmic reticulum, Mitochondria, Ribosomes and Lysosomes
C Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, Lysosomes and Vacuoles
D Golgi complex, Mitochondria, Ribosomes and Lysosomes
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Endomembrane system consist of endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, vacuoles and lysosomes.

Mitochondria is semi-autonomous cell organelle.

Ribosome is non-membranous cell organelle.
