Which of the following is not a function of nuclear membrane?

  1. It separates the nucleus from cytoplasm.

  2. It provides flexibility to the cell.

  3. It allows the movement of material between the nucleus and cytoplasm.

  4. It contains the genetic material present inside the chromosomes.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Nuclear membrane is the outer membrane of the nucleus that allows the movement of materials between the nucleus and cytoplasm. It does not provide flexibility to the cell.

Which of the following terms describes the movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane?

  1. Diffusion

  2. Osmosis

  3. Endocytosis

  4. Plasmolysis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

Which of the following cells is not eukaryotic?

  1. Onion cell

  2. Cheek cell

  3. Fungal cell

  4. Bacterial cell


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Bacteria are called prokaryotes as they do not have a well-defined nuclear membrane around the nucleus of their cell.

How many cells are present in prokaryotic organisms?

  1. Ten cells

  2. One cell only

  3. Many cells

  4. Hundred cells


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms with an undefined nucleus.

Which of the following cells in human beings can change its shape?

  1. White blood cell

  2. Red blood cell

  3. Nerve cell

  4. Blood platelet


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

White blood cells are amoeboid in shape as they can change their shape.

A student has observed a cell ‘X’ under a microscope and it appears spherical in shape. Identify the cell and choose the correct option from the alternatives given below.

  1. Nerve cell

  2. Cardiac cell

  3. Blood cell

  4. Muscle cell


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Blood cells are spherical in shape, nerve cells are long and elongated, whereas muscle cells and cardiac cells are spindle-shaped.

While observing the structure of nucleus under a microscope, Rishi observed a spherical body inside it. What is this spherical body present inside the nucleus called?

  1. Chromosome

  2. Gene

  3. Nucleolus

  4. Chromatin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Nucleolus is a spherical-shaped structure present in the nucleus of a cell.

Which of the following statements is false about the discovery of cell?

  1. Cell was discovered by Mendel.

  2. Cell was discovered in 1665.

  3. It was discovered under a simple magnifying device.

  4. The discovered cells were dead cells.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 under a simple magnifying device from a thin slice of cork. These were dead cells.

A student was observing the structure of a cell under a microscope and he observed thread-like structures in the nucleus. What are these thread-like structures called?

  1. Chromatins

  2. Genes

  3. Chromosomes

  4. Nucleoplasms


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The thread-like structures present in the nucleus are called chromatins. They condense at the time of cell division and form chromosomes.

Which of the following cells is spindle-shaped?

  1. Muscle cell

  2. Bacterial cell

  3. Red blood cell

  4. Nerve cell


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Among the following, muscle cell is spindle-shaped.

While observing an animal cell under the microscope, Rohan saw a dense round body in the center of the cell. What is this structure called?

  1. Nucleoplasm

  2. Nucleus

  3. Mitochondria

  4. Centrosome


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Nucleus is present in the centre of an animal cell and it appears as a dense body under the microscope.

Which of the following processes is responsible for the gaseous exchange between the cell and its outer environment?

  1. Diffusion

  2. Osmosis

  3. Endocytosis

  4. Plasmolysis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The process of movement of gases from the region of high concentration to low concentration is called diffusion. It helps in the gaseous exchange between the cell and its outer environment.

Which among the following is called the living substance of the cell?

  1. Protoplasm

  2. Cell membrane

  3. Cell wall

  4. Nucleus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Protoplasm is called the living substance of the cell.

Which of the following cells can be seen with the naked eye?

  1. Egg cell of a hen

  2. Cell of an elephant’s brain

  3. Neurons of a giant squid

  4. No single cell can be seen with naked eyes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An egg cell of hen can be seen with naked eyes.

Which of the following terms was assigned by Robert Hooke to the compartments which he saw under a magnifying device?

  1. Cell

  2. Tissue

  3. Organ

  4. Organ system


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Robert Hooke assigned the term 'cell'  to the compartments which he saw under a magnifying device.
