Q41
Mitochondria and chloroplast are- (a) semi-autonomous organelles (b) formed by division of pre existing organelles and they contain DNA but lack protein synthesising machinery Which one of the following options is correct?
A Both (a) and (b) are false
B Both (a) and (b) are correct
C (b) is true but (a) is false
D (a) is true but (b) is false
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Mitochondria and chloroplast are semiautonomous cell organelles which are formed by division of pre-existing organelles and contain DNA but they also contain protein synthesizing machinery, thus (a) is true and (b) is false.

Q42
Microtubules are the constituents of
A Cilia, Flagella and Peroxisomes
B Centrosome, Nucleosome and Centrioles
C Spindle fibres, Centrioles and Cilia
D Centrioles, spindle fibres and chromatin
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Microtubules are long, hollow cylinders made up of polymerised alpha and beta tubulin dimers.

They are present in cilia and flagella for cellular movement, centrioles for chromosomal movement and spindle fibres for structural organization as well as chromosomal movement during nuclear division.

Q43
Match the columns: Thylakoids - Disc-shaped sacs in Golgi apparatus, Cristae - Condensed structure of DNA, Cisternae - Flat membranous sacs in stroma, Chromatin - Infoldings in mitochondria. Identify the correct option.
A (a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)
B (a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)
C (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)
D (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii)
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Thylakoids are flat membranous sacs in stroma.

Cristae are infoldings in mitochondria.

Cisternae are disc-shaped sacs in Golgi apparatus.

Chromatin is condensed structure of DNA.

Q44
Cellular organelles with membranes are -
A endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes and nuclei
B lysosomes, Golgi apparatus and mitochondria
C nuclei, ribosomes and mitochondria
D chromosomes, ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Lysosomes, golgi apparatus and mitochondria are the cell organelles which have membranes.

Q45
Which of the following structures is not found in a prokaryotic cell?
A Mesosome
B Nuclear envelope
C Ribosome
D Plasma membrane
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

A prokaryotic cell is characterised by absence of an organised nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles.

DNA is naked without a nuclear envelope.

Mesosomes, plasma membrane and 70S ribosomes are present in a prokaryotic cell.

Q46
Which of the following are not membranebound ?
A Ribosomes
B Mesosomes
C Lysosomes
D Vacuoles
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Endoplasmic reticulum, nuclei, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus and mitochondria are membrane bound cell organelles whereas ribosomes are naked ribonucleoprotein protoplasmic particles.

Q47
The chromosomes in which centromere is situated close to one end are :
A Telocentric
B Metacentric
C Sub-metacentric
D Acrocentric
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

In acrocentric chromosomes, centromere appears subterminal, with a very small and a very long arm.

In metacentric chromosome, centromere is median.

In submetacentric chromosome, centromere is submedian.

In telocentric chromosome, centromere is truly terminal.

Q48
DNA is not present in :
A Nucleus
B Chloroplast
C Mitochondria
D Ribosomes
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Ribosomes are composed of ribonucleic acid and proteins and are not surrounded by any membrane.

These are the site for protein synthesis.

Q49
Nuclear envelope is a derivative of :
A Membrane of Golgi complex
B Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
C Rough endoplasmic reticulum
D Microtubules
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

In late prophase, nuclear envelope disappears and reappears in late telophase from rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

Q50
Select the correct matching in the following pairs :
A Rough ER Oxidation of fatty acids
B Smooth ER Oxidation of phospholipids
C Rough ER Synthesis of glycogen
D Smooth ER Synthesis of lipids
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a system of smooth membranes within the cytoplasm.

It is the site of important metabolic reactions, including phospholipid and fatty acid synthesis.
