Which of the following organelles is associated with protein synthesis?

  1. Ribosome

  2. Cytoskeleton

  3. Flagellum

  4. Centriole


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A ribosome is the component of a biological cell that creates proteins from all amino acids and RNA representing the protein. One of the central tenets of biology, often referred to as the central dogma of molecular biology, is that DNA is used to make RNA, which is used to make protein.

Blood and bones are examples of

  1. Connective tissues

  2. Muscle tissue

  3. Nervous tissue

  4. Epithelial tissue


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Connective tissues are fibrous tissues. These are made up of cells separated by non-living material, which is called extracellular matrix. Connective tissue gives shape to organs and holds them in place. Both blood and bones are examples of connective tissue. As the name implies, connective tissue serves a connecting function. It supports and binds other tissues.

The linings of fallopian tubes, alimentary canal and small intenstine are formed by

  1. Simple pseudo-stratified epithelium

  2. Simple cylindrical epithelium

  3. Cuboidal epithelium

  4. Squamous epithelium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Simple cylindrical epithelial tissues can be found mainly in fallopian tubes, alimentary canal and small intenstine. Cells developing in fallopian tubes have cilia that make movements in uterus easier, and those developing in small intenstine contain microvilli that enlarge absorption surface. Cells of that tissue are prism-shaped. Nucelus is at the cell bottom.

Which of the following statements is wrong regarding the epithelial tissue?

  1. Does not participate in excretion

  2. Plays active role in protection

  3. Helps in diffusion

  4. Reduces friction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Epithelial tissues in the kidney excrete waste products from the body and reabsorb needed materials from the urine. Sweat is also excreted from the body by epithelial cells in the sweat glands.

Which of the following cell organelles is known as the cellular power plants of the cell?

  1. Chloroplasts

  2. Endoplasmic reticulum

  3. Golgi apparatus

  4. Mitochondrion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A mitochondrion is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. These organelles range from 0.5 to 10 micrometers in diameter. Mitochondria are sometimes described as cellular power plants because these generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy.

Which among the following cell organellles is the site of cellular respiration?

  1. The ribosomes

  2. The cytoskeleton

  3. The Cytoplasm

  4. Mitochondria


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells and is the site of cellular respiration.They are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the chemical energy currency of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities.

Among the following, the facial bone is

  1. The malleus

  2. The incus

  3. The stirrup

  4. The vomer


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The vomer is one of the unpaired facial bones of the skull. It is located in the midsagittal line, and articulates with the sphenoid, the ethmoid, the left and right palatine bones, and the left and right maxillary bones.

In females, the linings of the uterus and fallopian tubes are formed by

  1. Stratified Epithelium

  2. Glandular Epithelium

  3. Ciliated Columnar Epithelium

  4. Simple Columnar Epithelium


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

These are simple columnar epithelial cells, but in addition, they posses fine hair-like outgrowths, cilia on their free surfaces. These cilia are capable of rapid, rhythmic, wavelike beatings in a certain direction. This movement of the cilia in a certain direction causes the mucus, which is secreted by the goblet cells, to move (flow or stream) in that direction. Ciliated epithelium is usually found in the air passages like the nose. It is also found in the uterus and fallopian tubes of females. The movement of the cilia propels the ovum to the uterus.

The cartilage found as discs between the vertebrae is

  1. Hyaline cartilage

  2. White fibrocartilage

  3. Elastic cartilage

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

White fibrocartilage is an extremely tough tissue. The orientation of the bundles depends upon the stresses acting on the cartilage. The collagenous bundles take up a direction parallel to the cartilage. Fibrocartilage is found as discs between the vertebrae between the pubic bones in front of the pelvic girdle and around the edges of the articular cavities such as the glenoid cavity in the shoulder joint.

Which of the following organelle develops over the anterior half of the head in the spermatozoa?

  1. Vacuole

  4. Centriole


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the head in the spermatozoa (sperm cell) of many animals. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. Acrosome formation is completed during testicular maturation.

Which among the following is a wrong statement regarding the bones?

  1. Help in manufacturing of blood cells

  2. Do not help in homeostasis

  3. Help in protection of delicate organs

  4. Help in locomotion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bone plays a part in homeostasis because it helps to maintain a constant level of calcium in the blood.

The organelle capable of digesting food particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria is

  1. Glycosome

  2. Glyoxysomes

  3. Hydrogenosome

  4. Lysosomes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris. They are found in animal cells, while in yeast and plants the same roles are performed by lytic vacuoles.Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

Which of the following is false regarding the hyaline cartilage?

  1. Increases friction at joints

  2. Helps in movement

  3. Provides support

  4. Play role in growth


Correct Option: A

Which of the following proteins regulates thin filament length during sarcomere assembly?

  1. Nebulin

  2. Actin

  3. Myosins

  4. Titin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Nebulin is an actin-binding protein which is localized to the I-band of the sarcomeres in skeletal muscle. It is a very large protein (600-900 kDa) and binds as many as 200 actin monomers. Because its length is proportional to thin filament length, it is believed that nebulin acts as a thin filament ruler and regulates thin filament length during sarcomere assembly.
