1. | Are primarily used for sensory purposes |
2. | Are composed of microtubules |
3. | Are enclosed in the cell wall |
4. | Rotate rather than whip |
A basal body is a part of bacterial:
1. | Inclusion bodies | 2. | Chromosomal DNA |
3. | Flagellum | 4. | Plasmid |
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 |
1. | are ribonucleoproteins. |
2. | are part of cytoskeleton in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. |
3. | are involved in many functions such as mechanical support, motility, maintenance of the shape of the eukaryotic cell. |
4. | are always deposited on cell surface and are never found in the cytoplasm. |
I: | shows the diagrammatic representation of the ultra-structure of centriole |
II: | shows the 9 + 2 arrangement of the axonemal microtubules of cilia/flagella |
Statement I: | Both the cilium and the flagellum emerge from centriole-like structure called the basal body. |
Statement II: | Basal body, centrioles, cilia and flagella have identical arrangement of microtubules in their ultrastructure. |
1. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II correctly explains Statement I |
4. | Only Statement II is correct |
Which of the following statement about cilia is not correct?
1. | Organised beating of cilia is controlled by fluxes of Ca2+ across the membrane. |
2. | Cilia are hair like cellular appendages. |
3. | Cilia contain an outer ring of nine doublet microtubules surrounding two singlet microtubules. |
4. | Microtubules of cilia are composed of tubulin. |
In the ultrastructure of cilia/ flagella, the radial spokes connect one of the tubules of each peripheral doublet to:
1. the bridge of the central microtubules
2. another tubule to the doublet
3. the central sheath
4. dynein arms
Both cilium and flagellum emerge from centriole-like structure called the:
1. | Centrosome | 2. | Centromere |
3. | Blepharoplast | 4. | Basal body |
