Scientists think that mitochondria may have once been separate living organisms for all of the following reasons except that they
1. have cilia and flagella
2. have their own DNA
3. can reproduce
4. can produce their own proteins
Given below is an electron microscopic structure of:
1. | Cilium | 2. | Flagellum |
3. | Fimbria | 4. | Centriole |
The following diagram shows
1. Formation of sperms from spermatogonia
2. Protein synthesis apparatus in eukaryotic cells
3. The endomembranous system of eukryotic cells
4. The cytoskeleton of a Moneran cell
The main difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion is:
1. In active transport the molecules move from areas of high to areas of low concentration
2. In active transport, you need carrier proteins
3. In active transport, you need ATP to move molecules against a concentration gradient
4. In active transport, only water molecules move
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 |
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
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
In animal cells, steroidal hormones are synthesized in the:
1. | Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
2. | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
3. | Golgi apparatus |
4. | Lysosomes |
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 |
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
