Assertion (A): | The Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi body, is like a post office. |
Reason (R): | The Golgi apparatus is an important site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Statement I: | are membrane bound vesicular structures formed in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. |

I: | The major lipids in cell membrane are phospholipids that are arranged in a bilayer. |
II: | The ability of lipids and carbohydrates to move laterally within the membrane is measured by its fluidity. |
III: | In addition to phospholipids, the animal cell membrane also contains cholesterol. |
IV: | Algae have a cell wall, made of cellulose, galactans, mannans, and minerals like calcium carbonate. |
V: | In plants other than algae, cell membrane consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins and proteins |

Consider the two statements:
Statement I: | Plant cells possess cell walls, plastids and a large central vacuole which are absent in animal cells. |
Statement II: | Animal cells have centrioles which are absent in almost all plant cells. |

1. | Despite great morphological difference between eucaryotic cells and prokaryotes, they are remarkably similar metabolically. |
2. | The 80S ribosomes of eukaryotes are made up of 50S and 30S subunits. |
3. | The rough part of rough endoplasmic reticulum is caused by bound ribosomes in the process of synthesizing ER proteins. |
4. | The nucleolus is where the structural RNA for the cells ribosomes is transcribed from DNA. |
1. | Sub-metacentric | 2. | Acrocentric |
3. | Metacentric | 4. | Telocentric |
I: | SER are the sites for lipid synthesis |
II: | RER has ribosomes attached to ER |
III: | In prokaryotes, only RER are present |
