A cell organelle containing hydrolytic enzymes is
1. | mesosome | 2. | lysosome |
3. | microsome | 4. | ribosome |
Cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of all living organisms. This statement can be best justified by the fact that:
1. | The cells contain nucleic acids that contain genetic information |
2. | A large number of organelles present in the cell perform various functions |
3. | Anything less than a complete structure of a cell does not ensure independent living |
4. | All multi-cellular organisms begin their life as a single celled zygote |
Who first saw and described a living cell?
1. | Anton Von Leeuwenhoek | 2. | Robert Hooke |
3. | Robert Brown | 4. | Rudolph Virchow |
Who concluded, based on his studies on plant tissues, that the presence of cell wall is a unique character of plant cells?
1. | Matthias Shcleiden | 2. | Theodor Schwann |
3. | J. B. S. Haldane | 4. | Rudolph Virchow |
The famous aphorism ‘omniscellula-e-cellula’ was added to the cell theory in 1855 by
1. | Matthias Shcleiden | 2. | Theodor Schwann |
3. | J. B. S. Haldane | 4. | Rudolph Virchow |
Ribosomes are non-membrane bound organelles found in:
1. All prokaryotic cells only
2. All eukaryotic cells only
3. All somatic cells in eukaryotic organisms only
4. All cells
A non-membrane bound organelle found in animal cells that helps in cell division would be:
1. | Centromere | 2. | Centrosome |
3. | Basal body | 4. | Fimbriae |
A ‘comma’ shaped bacterium is known as a:
1. Bacillus
2. Coccus
3. Vibrios
4. Spirillum
The genomic DNA of a bacterial cell is:
1. circular and located on a single chromosome
2. circular and located on multiple chromosomes
3. linear and located on a single chromosome
4. linear and located on multiple chromosomes
Extra-chromosomal circular double stranded and autonomously replicating DNA found in many bacteria is known as:
1. | Plastid | 2. | Genophore |
3. | Plasmid | 4. | Genome |
