B (A)-(i), (B)-(iv), (C)-(viii), (D)-(vi)
C (A)-(v), (B)-(i), (C)-(iii), (D)-(ii)
D (A)-(vi), (B)-(v), (C)-(iv), (D)-(vii)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

A is Rough endoplasmic reticulum (v), B is Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (iv), C is Nucleus (viii), D is Cytoplasm (iii).

Q72
The plasma membrane consists mainly of
A proteins embedded in a carbohydrate bilayer
B phospholipids embedded in a protein bilayer
C proteins embedded in a phospholipid bilayer
D proteins embedded in a polymer of glucose molecules
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Plasma membrane comprises of mainly proteins embedded in a phospholipid bilayer.

Protein molecules occur at places both inside and outer side of the lipid bilayer.

Q73
Which one of the following has its own DNA?
A Dictyosome
B Mitochondria
C Peroxisome
D Lysosome
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Mitochondria has its own DNA.

It is a structure within cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that carries out aerobic respiration.

It is the site of Krebs cycle and ETS.

Q74
The main area of various types of activities of a cell is
A Cytoplasm
B Plasma membrane
C Nucleus
D Mitochondrian
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Cytoplasm is granular, crystallo-colloidal complex that forms the living protoplasm of a cell excluding its nucleus.

It is the main area for various types of activities of a cell like respiration, nutrition, storage, etc.

Q75
Which one of the following structures between two adjacent cells is an effective transport pathway?
A Endoplasmic reticulum
B Plasmodesmata
C Plasmalemma
D Plastoquinones
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Plasmodesmata are the structures present between two adjacent cells that permits the transport and communication between them.

They are fine cytoplasmic strands that connect the protoplasts of adjacent plant cells by passing through the cell walls.

Q76
Plasmodesmata are :
A Locomotory structures
B Connection between adjacent cells
C Membranes connecting the nucleus with plasmalemma
D Lignified cemented layers between cells
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Plasmodesmata are connections between adjacent cells.

They are narrow channels that act as intercellular cytoplasmic bridges to facilitate communication and transport of materials between plant cells.

Q77
Cytoskeleton is made up of :
A Cellulose microfibrils
B Proteinaceous filaments
C Calcium carbonate granules
D Callose deposits
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

The main proteins present in the cytoskeleton are tubulin (in microtubules), actin, myosin, tropomyosin (in microfilaments) and keratins, vimentin, desmin, lamin (in intermediate filaments).

Q78
Middle lamella is composed mainly of :
A Calcium pectate
B Phosphoglycerides
C Muramic acid
D Hemicellulose
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Middle lamella is mainly composed of calcium pectate.

Calcium is deposited in plant cell walls during their formation acting as a cementing agent binding adjacent cells together.

Q79
In germinating seeds fatty acids are degraded exclusively in the:
A proplastids
B peroxisomes
C glyoxysomes
D mitochondria
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

In germinating seeds, fatty acids are degraded exclusively in the glyoxysomes where the glyoxylate cycle occurs.

Q80
The two sub-units of ribosome remain united at a critical ion level of :
A magnesium
B manganese
C calcium
D copper
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

The two subunits of ribosome remain united at a critical ion level of magnesium.

If magnesium is absent in the medium, the large particles fall apart to display a group of smaller particles.
