  2. They control and coordinate all activities of a cell.

  3. They possess a double membranous structure.

  4. They possess their own DNA and ribosomes.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Nucleus controls and coordinates various activities of a cell.

Mitochondrion is called the 'Powerhouse of a cell' because

  1. it synthesises proteins

  2. it synthesises lipids

  3. it synthesises ATP

  4. it synthesises acrosome


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mitochondrion is called the 'Powerhouse of a cell' because it synthesises energy in the form of ATP in a living cell.

Plastids are important for green plants because

  1. they trap solar energy

  2. they store proteins

  3. they synthesise energy

  4. they regulate cell function


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Plastids are responsible for trapping solar energy so as to synthesise carbohydrates in the photosynthetic plants.

Why are cristae present in the inner membrane of mitochondria?

  1. To provide large surface area for ATP generation

  2. To provide site for protein synthesis

  3. To provide site for attachment of endoplasmic reticulum

  4. To provide site for attachment of ribosomes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Infoldings called cristae present in the inner membrane provide large surface area for ATP generation.

While observing the nucleus under the microscope, a student has observed thread-like structures inside it. What are these structures called?

  1. Nucleolus

  2. Chromosomes

  3. Centrosome

  4. Chromatin


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The thread-like structures present in the nucleus are called chromatin fibres.

Which among the following organelles dictate(s) ribosomes to synthesise proteins?

  1. Plastids

  2. Mitochondria

  3. Nucleolus

  4. Golgi apparatus


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Nucleolus dictates ribosomes to synthesise proteins. It is located in the nucleus of the cell.

An organelle is present in a cell which helps to remove the worn-out and ruptured cells of the body and forms a waste disposal system of cell. Identify the organelle.

  1. Lysosome

  2. Vacoule

  3. Plastid

  4. Mitochondrion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Lysosomes form a waste disposal system of cell by digesting foreign material and worn-out organelles.

Organisms like bacteria lack a well-developed nuclear membrane around their nucleus and possess a nucleoid. What are such organisms called?

  1. Eukaryotic organisms

  2. Prokaryotic organisms

  3. Unicellular organisms

  4. Multicellular organisms


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bacteria contain an undefined nuclear region containing only nucleic acids, called nucleoid. The organisms that lack a well-developed nuclear region are called prokaryotes.

RNA is synthesised in the nucleus of a cell. Which among the following parts of a nucleus is the site of formation and storage of RNA?

  1. Cytosol

  2. Chromosome

  3. Nucleolus

  4. Nucleoid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Nucleolus helps in the synthesis of protein by forming and storing RNA.

In an accident, few skin tissues of a child get ruptured. Which among the following processes helps in repair of damaged tissues?

  1. Mitosis

  2. Meiosis

  3. Cell enlargement

  4. Reproduction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The ability of a cell to divide helps in repair of an injury. Mitosis is a process in which a cell divides to form new cells at the site of injury.

Which of the following organelles controls and coordinates various activities of a cell?

  1. Nucleus

  2. Cytoplasm

  3. Mitochondrion

  4. Endoplasmic reticulum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Nucleus is the most vital organelle for the survival of cell. It controls and coordinates various activities of a cell.

Which of the following cell organelles is called ‘suicidal bag’ of a cell?

  1. Plastid

  2. Centrosome

  3. Lysosome

  4. Mitochondrion


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When cell is old or injured, lysosomes rapidly destroy organelles. In case, its own cell is ruptured, it bursts out releasing its hydrolytic enzymes in the cells, thereby digesting the damaged cell. Therefore, it is called as the sucidial bag of the cell.

Which among the following is not a function of nucleolus?

  1. Production of proteins

  2. Control of hereditary information

  3. Storage of RNA

  4. Synthesis of ribosomes


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Nucleolus is a round-shaped body present inside the nucleus. It helps to produce ribosomes, DNA and RNA. Hereditary characters of a person are controlled by genes.

Which among the following is not a characteristic function of ER?

  1. It acts as a supportive framework for the cell.

  2. It helps in the synthesis of proteins.

  3. It gives rigidity and shape to the cell.

  4. It helps in the transportation of proteins and lipids.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cell wall gives rigidity and shape to the plant cell. Endoplasmic reticulum helps in the synthesis and transport of proteins and fats.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. Functional segments of DNA are called genes.

  2. Chromatin material is organised to form chromosomes during cell division.

  3. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins.

  4. Organisms lacking nuclear membrane are called eukaryotes.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Organisms like bacteria that lack a well-defined nuclear region are called prokaryotes.

In plants, carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch. Which of the following organelles help in the storage of starch?

  1. Vacuoles

  2. Cytosols

  3. Cisterns

  4. Centrosomes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Vacuoles store various materials like starch, amino acids, water, nitrogenous waste, etc.

Which of the following options correctly defines "Tonoplast"?

  1. The outer covering of a vacuole

  2. The inner folds of mitochondria

  3. The inner covering of lysosomes

  4. The outer covering of golgi apparatus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Vacuoles are covered by tonoplast and they store water, food material and waste products in a cell.

Animal sperms possess acrosome that helps it to enter into the ovum. Which of the following cell organelles synthesises acrosome of a sperm?

  1. Mitochondrion

  2. Golgi apparatus

  3. Endoplasmic reticulum

  4. Vacuole


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Golgi apparatus is composed of stacks of membrane-bound structures known as cisternae. It helps in the storage, packaging and transport of materials synthesised in the endopolasmic reticulum. It also forms the acrosome of a sperm.

Which of the following organelles serve(s) as a channel for the transport of materials?

  1. Ribosomes

  2. Lysosomes
