A non-membrane bound organelle found in all cells is:
1. | Centriole | 2. | Lysosome |
3. | Vacuole | 4. | Ribosome |
Spindle fibers are attached to the chromosome in the region of:
1. | Centrosome | 2. | Chromomere |
3. | Chromonema | 4. | Kinetochore |
Identify the appendage present on the surface of some bacterial cells that help attach them to rocks in streams and also to the host tissues:
1. | Flagella | 2. | Pili |
3. | Fimbriae | 4. | Cilia |
Most of the functions of a cell membrane can be attributed to its:
1. Phospholipids
2. Cholesterol
3. Proteins
4. Carbohydrates
Algal cell walls are made up of:
1. Cellulose, Galactans, Mannans and Minerals
2. Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Pectins and Proteins
3. Cellulose, Pectins, Mannans and Minerals
4. Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Mannans and Pectins
Which of the following is not considered as a part of the endo-membranous system of a eukaryotic cell?
1. | Lysosomes | 2. | Vacuoles |
3. | Endoplasmic reticulum | 4. | Peroxisomes |
In animal cells, steroidal hormones are synthesized in the:
1. | Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
2. | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
3. | Golgi apparatus |
4. | Lysosomes |
An important site of the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids in a eukaryotic cell is the:
1. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
2. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
3. Golgi apparatus
4. Lysosomes
The concentrations of ions is significantly higher in the vacuoles than in the cytoplasm. The reason for this is:
1. Facilitated diffusion of the ions by the tonoplast
2. Active transport of the ions by the tonoplast
3. Presence of porins for diffusion of the ions
4. Bulk transport across the tonoplast
The component molecules of the cell membrane have two main parts, the head and the tail. These parts are either hydrophobic (repelled by water) or hydrophilic (attracted to water). Which is which?
1. | Hydrophilic Head and Hydrophobic Tail |
2. | Both Hydrophobic |
3. | Hydrophilic Tail and Hydrophobic Head |
4. | Both Hydrophilic |
