(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

Each mitochondrion is a double membrane-bound structure with the outer membrane and the inner membrane dividing its lumen distinctly into two aqueous compartments, i.e., the outer compartment and the inner compartment. The inner compartment is called the matrix. The outer membrane forms the continuous limiting boundary of the organelle. The inner membrane forms several infoldings called the cristae towards the matrix. The cristae increase the surface area. The two membranes have their specific enzymes associated with the mitochondrial function.


Question-2

A cell organelle containing hydrolytic enzymes is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Lysosomes are small vesicles which are bounded by a single membrane and contain hydrolytic enzymes in the form of minute crystalline or semicrystalline granules of 5-8 nm. About 50 enzymes have been recorded to occur in them. All the enzymes do not occur in the same lysosome but there are different sets of enzymes in different types of lysosomes. The important enzymes are acid phosphatases, sulphatases, proteases, peptidases, nucleases, lipases and carbohydrates. They are also called acid hydrolases because these digestive enzymes usually function in acidic medium or pH of 4-5.


Question-3

Which is correct about cell theory given current status of our knowledge about cell structure?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

Viruses are exceptions to the cell theory as they are obligate parasites (subcellular). Paramecium, Rhizopus, and Vaucheria are some examples which may or may not be exceptions to the theory.


Question-4

In which method of transport in plasma membrane does not require carrier molecule?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-5

Given below are some characters of a cell organelle. Identify the correct organelle which shows all the characters described above.
  1. It is a membrane bound space found in the cytoplasm.
  2. It is bound by a single membrane called tonoplast.
  3. It contains water, sap, excretory products and other materials not useful to the cell.
  4. It has higher concentration of sap than the cytoplasm.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

The given characters are related to cell organelle - vacuole. Vacuole is a membrane bound organelle, found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles are essentially enclosed compartments which are filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution, though in certain cases they may contain solids which have been engulfed. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.
