In addition to plasma membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm; some cells have an outer covering called the cell wall. Which of the following does not have it?

  1. Bacteria

  2. Fungi

  3. Protozoa

  4. Plant cell


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, protozoa does not have cell wall, and instead have a pellicle which is a flexible proteinaceous covering.

A membrane is said to be semipermeable, if_________________.

  1. a substance does not pass through it

  2. it is permeable to solvents but not to solutes

  3. it is permeable to solvents and some selected solutes

  4. it is permeable to solvents and solutes


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. The sempermeable membrane is permeable to solvent, but prevents the passage of solutes.

Which of the following processes does not take place through osmosis?

  1. Preparation of food in plants

  2. The opening and closing of stomata

  3. Turgidity in plants

  4. Absorbtion of water by roots


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. The process of preparation of food in plants does not take place with the help of osmosis. Photosynthesis takes place in the presence of sunlight with chlorophyll, water and air.

Which process is involved in all the examples given below? a) Tea leaves give flavour to the water in which it is boiled. b) Spreading of garbage stink from the dustbin. c) Spreading of aroma of flowers. d) Spreading of blue colour of ink in a glass full of water.

  1. Mixing

  2. Sedimentation

  3. Diffusion

  4. Evaporation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, all are the examples of diffusion. It refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy of random motion.

Which of the following is a coloured plastid?

  1. Chromoplast

  2. Elaioplast

  3. Amyloplast

  4. Aleuroplast


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chromoplasts are coloured plastids. Their colour is green, orange, yellow, etc. due to the presence of carotenoids.

Which of the following is not an osmotic solution?

  1. Water

  2. Hypotonic solution

  3. Isotonic solution

  4. Hypertonic solution


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Osmotic solutions can cause osmosis when seperated from water by semi-permeable membrane. Water acts as solvent. So, water is not an osmotic solution.

What gives attractive colours to fruits and flowers?

  1. Chloroplasts

  2. Chromoplasts

  3. Aleuroplasts

  4. Amyloplasts


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, they are the coloured plastids. They give colours to the fruits and flowers.

Which of the following is not a name given to lysosomes?

  1. Suicide bags

  2. Demolition squads

  3. Power house of a cell

  4. Digestive bags


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mitochondria is called as 'power house of a cell.'

Which of the following is/are not passed through plasma membrane by active transport?

  1. Glucose

  2. Ions

  3. Food particles

  4. Amino acids


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. Food particles are not passed through plasma membrane by active transport. They use bulk transport mode.

What happens when a plant cell is put into a concentrated solution?

  1. It bursts

  2. It swells

  3. It shrinks

  4. No change


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, the plant cell will shrink as exo-osmosis will take place.

Which of the following is not a function of vacuoles?

  1. They function as a dump house of waste products in plant cells.

  2. They take part in osmoregulation and excretion.

  3. They help in liberating energy.

  4. They store salt, sugar, amino acids, etc.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

No, mitochondria present in the cell help in liberating energy. They consume oxygen and liberate carbon dioxide.

Cell's genetic information is kept in distinct structures called ___________, which are housed in the nucleus.

  1. mitochondria

  2. ribosome

  3. golgi apparatus

  4. chromosomes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. It is present in the nucleus and have genetic information.

Which of the following characterstics indicates that a cell is prokaryotic?

  1. The cell has vacuoles.

  2. An organised nucleus is absent.

  3. Membrane bound cell organelles are present.

  4. Two to several DNA molecules are present.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

No nucleus is present in a prokaryotic cell and hereditary material lies free in cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cell, an organised nucleus is present.

Which of the following is the incorrect statement?

  1. Ribosomes are known as protein factories.

  2. Ribosomes are not present in human RBCs.

  3. Ribosomes are composed of ribonucleic acid and proteins.

  4. Ribosomes are the largest organelles in animals.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ribosomes are the smallest organelles in animals. They are found either in free state in the cytoplasm or attached to the surface of endoplasmic reticulum.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. When a substance is passed through a membrane, expenditure of energy takes place.

  2. Osmosis is a type of passive transport.

  3. The movement of a sustance takes place from region of higher concentration to lower concentration.

  4. Diffusion takes place in solids, liquids or gases.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This statement is incorrect. Substance may pass through the membrane without or with expenditure of energy, i.e. passive or active transport, respectively.
