Free Cell The Unit Of Life (Weekly Quiz: 3) NEET Biology Questions & Answers with Detailed Explanation & Full Review

Free Cell The Unit Of Life (Weekly Quiz: 3) Time:

Question-1

Which of the following is not true for a eukaryotic cell?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles, which are double membrane-bound and have their own ribosomes (70S) and DNA (circular). A eukaryotic cell has 80S ribosomes present in the cytoplasm. Membrane-bound organelles are present, like, mitochondria, ER, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, etc. inside the cell. Cell wall, if present, do not contain muramic acid (therefore, peptidoglycan).


Question-2

Microtubules, motor proteins, and actin filaments are all part of the

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

The cytoskeleton supports the cell and allows for movement of the entire cell and microtubules, motor proteins and actin filaments are part of the cytoskeleton.


Question-3

Membranous bag with hydrolytic enzymes which is used for controlling intracellular digestion of macromolecules is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)


Question-4

Which of the following statements regarding mitochondrial membrane is not correct ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

The outer membrane of mitochondrion is smooth, freely permeable to most small molecules, contains fewer enzymes and is poor in proteins. It has porin proteins which form channels for the passage of molecules through it. It allows uptake of substrates and release of ATP. The inner membrane is semipermeable and regulates the passage of materials into and out of the mitochondrion. It is rich in enzymes and carrier proteins (permeases). It is usually produced into numerous infolds called cristae (singular crista). It bears minute regularly spaced lollipop-shaped particles known as oxysomes. The rest of the inner membrane contains the electron carrier molecules of the electron transport chain.


Question-5

Which of the following organelles has single membrane?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

The spherosomes are, spherical bodies, about 0.5-1 μm wide and enclosed by a single unit membrane. They contain granular contents rich in lipids but also have some proteins. They occur in most plant cells but are abundant in the endosperm cells of oil seeds. Spherosomes arise from the endoplasmic reticulum.


Question-6

Which of these is wrongly matched?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

Elaioplasts are colourless plastids which store lipids. Chromoplasts are yellow or reddish in colour because of the presence of carotenoid pigments. Chloroplasts are the most common type of plastids and are of prime biological importance as they contain chlorophyll and provide food to all organisms through photosynthesis.


Question-7

The perinuclear space is about

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-8

The shorter and longer arms of a submetacentric chromosome are referred to as

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

The short arm of chromosome is termed as the p(petit) arm and longer arm is referred as q arm.


Question-9

Peptide synthesis inside a cell takes place in:

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

Peptide synthesis takes place in ribosome inside a cell.


Question-10

How much is the size of viruses?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)
