Q31
Which of the following statements about inclusion bodies is incorrect?
A These are involved in ingestion of food particles
B They lie free in the cytoplasm
C These represent reserve material in cytoplasm
D They are not bound by any membrane
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Inclusion bodies are nuclear or cytoplasmic aggregates which are stainable substances, usually proteins.

They are not involved in ingestion of food particles.

Q32
Which is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids in eukaryotic cells?
A Peroxisomes
B Golgi bodies
C Polysomes
D Endoplasmic reticulum
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Golgi bodies are site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids in eukaryotic cells.

Q33
The concept of Omnis cellula-e cellula regarding cell division was first proposed by :
A Schleiden
B Aristotle
C Rudolf Virchow
D Theodore Schwann
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Rudolf Carl Virchow in 1858, gave the concept of Omnis cellula-e cellula regarding cell division.

This means that all cells arise from pre-existing cells by cell-division.

Q34
Which of the following statements regarding mitochondria is incorrect ?
A Inner membrane is convoluted with infoldings
B Mitochondrial matrix contains single circular DNA molecule and ribosomes
C Outer membrane is permeable to monomers of carbohydrates, fats and proteins
D Enzymes of electron transport are embedded in outer membrane
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

The enzymes required for the ETS are present in the inner matrix only as the elementary particles are embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondrial matrix.

Q35
Which of the following statements is not correct?
A Lysosomes are membrane bound structures.
B Lysosomes are formed by the process of packaging in the endoplasmic reticulum.
C Lysosomes have numerous hydrolytic enzymes.
D The hydrolytic enzymes of lysosomes are active under acidic pH.
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Lysosomes are not formed by the endoplasmic reticulum.

Instead, they are formed from vesicles that bud off from the Golgi apparatus.

Q36
Which of the following events does not occur in rough endoplasmic reticulum?
A Cleavage of signal peptide
B Phospholipid synthesis
C Protein folding
D Protein glycosylation
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Phospholipid synthesis does not take place in rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is involved in lipid synthesis.

Q37
Select the wrong statement-
A Pili and fimbriae are mainly involved in motility of bacterial cells
B Mycoplasma is a wall-less microorganism
C Bacterial cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan
D Cyanobacteria lack flagellated cells.
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Pili and fimbriae are bacterial appendages which are not involved in locomotion.

Pili are long tubular outgrowths helpful in conjugation.

Fimbriae are small bristle-like fibres involved in attaching bacteria to solid surfaces.

Q38
Select the mismatch.
A Large central vacuoles Animal cells
B Methanogens Prokaryotes
C Gas vacuoles Green bacteria
D Protists Eukaryotes
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Large central vacuole is the characteristic of plant cell, not animal cell which may have many small scattered vacuoles.

Q39
A cell organelle containing hydrolytic enzymes is
A Ribosome
B Mesosome
C Lysosome
D Microsome
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Lysosomes are small vesicles bounded by a single membrane and contain hydrolytic enzymes.

About 50 enzymes have been recorded to occur in them including acid phosphatases, sulphatases, proteases, peptidases, nucleases, lipases and carbohydrases.

Q40
Which one of the following cell organelles is enclosed by a single membrane?
A Mitochondria
B Chloroplasts
C Lysosomes
D Nuclei
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Double Membrane bound Organelles: Mitochondria, Chloroplasts, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Body, and Nucleus.

Single Membrane bound Organelles: Lysosomes, Peroxisomes, and Vacuoles.
