Explanation:

In plant cells, vacuoles are full of cell sap and provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell.

Double membrane is absent in

  1. nucleus

  2. mitochondria

  3. lysosome

  4. chloroplast


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lysosomes are membrane-bound sacs filled with digestive enzymes.

Shrinkage or contraction of the contents of the cell away from the cell wall is

  1. endocytosis

  2. plasmolysis

  3. electrolysis

  4. absorption


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

During endosmosis, water comes out of the cell.

Plasmolysis occurs due to

  1. osmosis

  2. endosmosis

  3. exosmosis

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When a living plant cell loses water, plasmolysis occurs.

Which of the following limits the animal cell?

  1. Plasma membrane

  2. Basement membrane

  3. Cell wall

  4. Shell membrane


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Because plasma membrane is the outermost layer.

Like mitochondria, their own DNA and ribosome are present in

  1. lysosome

  2. golgi apparatus

  3. nucleus

  4. plastids


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Mitochondria and plastids have their own DNA and Ribosome

Plant cell wall is mainly composed of

  1. glucose

  2. fructose

  3. sucrose

  4. cellulose


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cellulose is a complex substance and provides structural strength to plants.

The term “Cell “ was coined by

  1. Robert Hooke

  2. Robert Brown

  3. Purkinje

  4. Virchow


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cells were discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 and he saw that the cork resembled the structure of Honey comb. Hence, he called these boxes cells. (Cell is a Latin word, which means a little room.)

The cell placed in which of the following solutions swells up?

  1. Hypertonic

  2. Hypotonic

  3. Isotonic

  4. Both 1 and 2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Because more water comes into the cell than we leave

Amoeba acquires food through

  1. osmosis

  2. endocytosis

  3. endosmosis

  4. exosmosis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The flexibility of the cell membrane enables the cell to engulf the food.

Which of the following is known as suicide bag?

  1. Lysosome

  2. Ribosome

  3. Golgi bodies

  4. Vacuoles


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When the cell damaged, lysosomes may burst and the enzyme digest their own cell.

Which is the largest cell in the human body?

  1. Kidney cell

  2. Muscle cell

  3. Nerve cell

  4. Liver cell


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The shape and size of the cell are related to the specific functions they perform.

Cell wall is absent in

  1. plant cell

  2. animal cell

  3. Both 1 and 2

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cell wall is present only in plant cell.

The powerhouse of the cell is

  1. mitochondria

  2. golgi body

  3. chloroplast

  4. nucleus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mitochondria releases energy in the form of ATP for various activities of the cell.

Who proposed the cell theory?

  1. Schleiden and Schwann

  2. Robert Hooke

  3. Mendel and Morgan

  4. Purkinje


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Schleiden and Schwann proposed the cell theory and they were awarded the Nobel Prize for this contribution.

The outer skin is known as

  1. endodermis

  2. epidermis

  3. dermis

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Skin has many layers and its outer most layer is known as epidermis.

Which of the following separates cell from external environment?

  1. Plasma membrane

  2. Nucleus

  3. Nuclear membrane

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Plasma membrane is the outer most covering of the cell that separates contents of the cell from external environment.

Plasma membrane is made up of

  1. lipids

  2. proteins

  3. cellulose

  4. Both 1 and 2


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Plasma membrane is flexible and is made up of organic molecules called lipids and proteins.

Centrosome is found in

  1. nucleolus

  2. nucleus

  3. ribosome

  4. cytoplasm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Centrosomes are the small region of cytoplasm adjacent to the nucleus.

Robert Hooke observed the cell through

  1. primitive microscope

  2. compound microscope

  3. electron microscope

  4. improved microscope


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In 1665, primitive microscopes were available only to Robert Hooke. 

Cell organelle that is not found in animals is

  1. golgi body

  2. nucleus

  3. plastid

  4. mitochondria


Correct Option: C
