Correct answer: Brush border- A. Paramylum
- B. Amyloplasts
- C. Leucoplasts
- D. Glycoplasts
Explanation: The correct answer is Amyloplasts. These are specialized plastids within plant cells that synthesize and store starch granules.
Correct answer: Amyloplasts- A. 1-2 µm
- B. 2-4 µm
- C. 4-6 µm
- D. 6-8 µm
Explanation: Chloroplasts are a type of plastid. They are chlorophyll-containing organelles within the cells of plants and green algae that are the…
Correct answer: 4-6 µm- A. Higher plant cells
- B. Lower plant cells
- C. Animals cells
- D. Both (B) &(C)
Explanation: Only lower plant cells and animal cells have centrioles at right angle to each other so correct option is D
Correct answer: Both (B) &(C)- A. Microfilament and inter mediate filaments
- B. Microfilaments and microtubules
- C. Inter mediate filaments and micro tubules
- D. Only microfilaments
Explanation: The functional roles for microfilaments involve cell membrane motility, endo- and exocytosis, secretion and vesicle transfer so option…
Correct answer: Inter mediate filaments and micro tubules- A. Thylakoids are assembled into stacks
- B. Thylakoids exist as a maze of folded membranes.
- C. The space surrounding thylakoids is called stroma.
- D. Thylakoids contain chlorophyll.
Explanation: Thylakoids are stacks of granum, they are surrounded by stroma that is the colorless fluid surrounding the grana within the chloroplast.
Correct answer: Thylakoids exist as a maze of folded membranes.- A. Nucleus
- B. Ribosomes
- C. Lysosome
- D. Plastids
Explanation: The Golgi apparatus, also known as Golgi bodies, plays a crucial role in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for…
Correct answer: Lysosome- A. 70S unit
- B. 80S unit
- C. 90S unit
- D. 100S unit
Explanation: The correct answer is the 80S unit, which is formed by the assembly of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits in eukaryotic cells.
Correct answer: 80S unit- A. Endoplasmic reticulum
- B. Golgi bodies
- C. Mitochondria
- D. Vacoule
Explanation: Option C is correct.Mitochondria are regarded as self-replicating organelles.
Correct answer: Mitochondria- A. Ribosomes
- B. Golgi bodies
- C. Mitochondria
- D. Endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: Option D is correct.Lipid synthesis occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the cell.
Correct answer: Endoplasmic reticulum19251. The cytoplasm contain(s):
- A. Cell organelle only
- B. Insoluble waste only
- C. Storage products only
- D. Cell organelle, insoluble waste and storage products
Explanation: The cytoplasm contains cell organelles, insoluble waste, and storage products.
Correct answer: Cell organelle, insoluble waste and storage products- A. Cell membrane
- B. Nucleus
- C. Lysosomes
- D. Vacuole
Explanation: Option C is correct.Tay-Sach's disease particularly results from the malfunctioning of lysosomes.
Correct answer: Lysosomes- A. Muscle cells
- B. Cardiac cells
- C. Mature RBC's
- D. WBC's
Explanation: Option C is correct.Mitochondria are usually absent in mature RBC's. Mature RBC's, or erythrocytes, are the most abundant type of blood…
Correct answer: Mature RBC's- A. Amylase
- B. Lysosomal
- C. Lyase
- D. Lipase
Explanation: Storage diseases, also known as lysosomal storage diseases, are a group of genetic disorders caused by defects (mutations) in lysosomal…
