  1. Osmoregulation

  2. Respiration

  3. Digestion

  4. All the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A contractile vacuole (CV) is a sub-cellular structure (organelle) involved in osmoregulation. It is found predominantly in protists and in unicellular algae.

Pinocytosis is

  1. cell vomiting

  2. cell drinking

  3. cell eating

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pinocytosis, otherwise known as cell drinking fluid endocytosis, and bulk-phase pinocytosis, is a mode of endocytosis in which small particles are brought into the cell, forming an invagination, and then suspended within small vesicles.

Which of the following is a membrane bound vacuole?

  1. Chloroplast

  2. Tonoplast

  3. Nucleoplast

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cells. A vacuole is surrounded by a membrane called the tonoplast.

Unit membrane hypothesis was given by

  1. David

  2. Robertson

  3. David Robertson

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

David Robertson suggested that all the cellular membranes share a similar underlying structure are the unit membranes.

Glycocalyx is a/an _______ coat(s).

  1. extra cellular

  2. intracellular

  3. middle

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The glycocalyx is a glycoprotein-polysaccharide covering that surrounds the cell membranes of some bacteria, epithelia and other cells.

  4. All the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.

Cell wall is ______.

  1. permeable

Euchromatin is a lightly packed form of chromatin (DNA, RNA and protein) that is enriched in genes ,and is often (but not always) under active transcription. Euchromatin comprises the most active portion of the genome within the cell nucleus. 92% of the human genome is euchromatic. All the statements given above are correct.

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The mature red blood cell contains no internal membranous structures. The mature cell has no nucleus and no organelles. As red blood cells develop and mature in bone marrow, the nucleus and organelles completely deteriorate.
