Which of the following cell organelles form the waste disposal system of a cell?

  1. Lysosomes

  2. Vacoules

  3. Plastids

  4. Mitochondria

  5. Endoplasmic reticulum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Which of the following purposes is served by the inner membrane of mitochondria?

  1. To provide large surface area for ATP generation

  2. To provide a site for protein synthesis

  3. To provide a site for attachment of endoplasmic reticulum

  4. To provide a site for attachment of ribosomes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Infoldings present on the inner membrane provide large surface area for ATP generation.

Which of the following functions is not carried out by lysosomes?

  1. Intracellular digestion

  2. Destruction of foreign substances

  3. Storage of starch

  4. Digestion of cartilage


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lysosomes do not store starch but contain different types of enzymes.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of centrosome?

  1. It is present in animal cells only.

  2. It contains one or two centrioles.

  3. It participates in protein synthesis.

  4. It forms spindle fibres with the help of asters.

  5. It has a central role in making cilia and flagella


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Centrosome does not synthesise proteins. It only initates and regulates the cell division.

  1. Cytosol

  2. Chromosomes

  3. Nucleolus

  4. Nucleoid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Nucleolus participates in protein synthesis by forming and storing RNA. 

Which of the following statements is not true?

  1. Functional segments of DNA are called genes.

  2. Chromatin material is organised to form chromosomes during cell division.

  3. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins.

  4. Organisms lacking nuclear membrane are called eukaryotes.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Organisms lacking nuclear membrane are called prokaryotes.

Which of the following organelles are called ‘suicidal bags’ of a cell?

  1. Lysosomes

  2. Centrosomes

  3. Plastids

  4. Mitochondria


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When a cell is old or injured, lysosomes rapidly destroy the cell organelles. Hence, they are called suicidal bags of a cell.

Which of the following helps in circulation of blood?

  1. Cell division

  2. Cell contractility
