What is an isotonic solution?

  1. A solution whose water concentration is lower than the internal concentration.

  2. A solution whose water concentration is same as compared to internal concentration.

  3. A solution whose water concentration is more than the internal concentration.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • If both the medium and cell has exactly the same water concentration and thus, there will be no net movement of water across the cell membrane is known as an isotonic solution. 
  • The cells remain of the same size.

    Hence, the correct option is B.

In a hypotonic solution, the cell 

  1. Shrinks

  2. Remains of the same size

  3. Swells

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hypotonic solution is a type of solution in which water concentration in the medium is more than the cell. Water crosses the membrane in both directions, but more water will come into the cell than will leave. The net result is that the water enters the cell. The cells will swell up. 

Solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell is a 

  1. Hypertonic solution

  2. Isotonic solution

  3. Hypotonic solution

  4. Both A and C


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A hypertonic solution is a particular type of solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell. Water crosses the cell membrane in both directions, but more water leaves the cell than enters it. Therefore, the cell will shrink due to exosmosis.

If a cell is in a hypotonic environment, this means

  1. There are fewer solutes inside the cell than in the extra-cellular environment

  2. There is an equal amount of solutes inside as outside the cell

  3. There is more solute outside the cell than in the cell

  4. There is less solute outside the cell than inside of the cell


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A hypotonic environment is when the solute concentration outside the cell is less than inside the cell.

When both the regions have the same solute concentration it is an isotonic environment.
When the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside the cell then it is in a hypertonic environment.
So the correct answer is 'There is less solute outside the cell than inside the cell'.

Roots will absorb water when external medium will be

  1. Hypotonic

  2. Hypertonic

  3. Isotonic

  4. Concentrated


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Osmosis happens along a concentration gradient. If outside medium is hypotonic, it means that relatively more of water is present outside the cells in the surrounding medium and water will flow inside the root hair cells.

Cell cycle was divided into  four stages i.e. G$ _1$, S, G$ _2$, M by

  1. W. Flemming

  2. Strass burger

  3. Howard and Pelc

  4. Farmer


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Howard and Pelc divided cell cycle in four stage. The cell cycle is an ordered set of events, culminating in cell growth and division into two daughter cells. Non-dividing cells not considered to be in the cell cycle. The stages  are G$ _1$-S-G$ _2$-M. The G$ _1$ stage stands for "GAP 1". The S stage stands for "Synthesis". This is the stage when DNA replication occurs. The G$ _2$ stage stands for "GAP 2". The M stage stands for "mitosis", and is when and cytoplasmic division occur.

Match the following.

Column I Column II
A. Bacteria 1. Synthesis and storage of lipids
B. Sphaerosomes   2. Idiogram
C. Chloroplasts 3. Glycocalyx
D. Karyotype 4. Thylakoids

  1. A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1

  2. A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4

  3. A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1

  4. A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4

  5. A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Sphaerosomes are single half unit membrane covered small spherical organelles which synthesize and store fats. The cell wall of bacteria is made up of glycocalyx (carbohydrate and amino acids). Chloroplasts are eukaryotic plant cell organelles which have an internal thylakoid membrane system. The thylakoid membranes carry out the light reactions part of photosynthesis. The chromosomes of a eukaryotic cells are called its karyotype. The diagrammatic representation of a cells karyotype is called an idiogram.

The cell wall of certain fungi is made of:

  1. Lignin

  2. Suberin

  3. Chitin

  4. Pectin


Correct Option: A,C

During breakdown of lecithin which of the following is not obtained?

  1. Trihydroxy propane

  2. Fatty acid

  3. Choline

  4. Sphingosine


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Lecithin is also known as phosphatidylcholine (a group of phospholipids) which are important for maintaining the cell structure and metabolism.
  • Lecithins are composed of phosphoric acid, choline, esters of glycerol and two fatty acids. 
  • Thus, during the breakdown of lecithin fatty acid, choline and sphingosine are obtained.
  • So the correct answer is 'Trihydroxy propane'.

Organelles that are surrounded by two membranes are-

  1. Nucleus and mitochondria.

  2. Nucleus and Golgi bodies.

  3. Endoplasmic reticulum and Lysosomes.

  4. Endoplasmic reticulum and Mitochondria.

(d) Zygotic meiosis
(e) Auxospores
(f) Diplontic life cycle

  1. $\text{a, d, e & f}$

  2. $\text{b, c, d & e}$

  3. $\text{c, d, e & f}$

  4. $\text{c, e & f}$


Correct Option: A

Robert Hooke discovered the ___ of a cell

  1. cell membrane

  2. Nucleus

  3. Cell wall

  4. cytoplasm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cell wall was discovered by Robert Hooke, in 1665, when he saw an empty box like compartments in a very thin slice of cork under his microscope. He wrote a book Micrographia and coined the term Cellula which was later on changed into cells. Robert Hooke thought cells to be passages for conducting fluids. Actually, he had observed compartments made up of the cell wall and not true living cells.

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, it can be best deduced by?

  1. The entry of water

  2. The entry of selective mineral salts

  3. Both A and B

  4. The rise of sap in plants


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
A selectively permeable membrane will allow free passage of solvent or water molecules, however, the entry of solute particles will be selectively allowed. In other words, not all but selected solute particles will be allowed to pass through.

Which one of the following is wrong statement.

  1. Anabaena and Nostoc are capable of fixing nitrogen- in

    free living state also

  2. Root nodule forming nitrogen fixers live as aerobes

  3. Phosphours is a constituent of all members ,certain

    nucleic acids and all proteins

  4. Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are chemoautotrophs


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Anabaena and Nostoc are also free-living nitrogen fixers.
Root nodule forming nitrogen fixers enzyme (nitrogenase) works only under the anaerobic condition.
Phosphorus is a constituent of cell membranes as a phospholipid, in nucleic acid as phosphate group and proteins are rich in phosphorus.
Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter play an important role in nitrification. They are chemoautotrophs.
So the correct answer is 'Root nodule forming nitrogen fixers live as aerobes under free-living conditions'

Lipids are arranged within the membrane with ________.

  1. polar heads toward inner side and the hydrophobic tails toward outerside

  2. both heads and tails toward outerside

  3. heads toward outerside and tail towards inside

  4. both heads and tails toward innerside


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
In lipid bilayer, lipids are arranged with the polar head towards the outer side and the hydrophobic/ non-polar tails towards the inner side.
Therefore the correct option is C.
