  2. Glycocalyx

  3. Mesosome

  4. Cell wall

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The plasma membrane is semi-permeable in nature and interacts with the outside world. 

In most prokaryotic cells, the cell envelope consists of a tightly bound three-layered structure. Which of the following layers is/are not present in the cell envelope?

a. Cell wall b. Glycocalyx c. Golgi complex

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Golgi complex is not a layer of the cell envelope.

  2. mannans

  3. galactans

  4. calcium carbonate

  5. pectins


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

The cell wall of an algae is not made of pectins.

  1. Only a and b

  2. Only a and c

  3. Only b

  4. Only d

  5. Only b and c


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The cell membrane does not consist of vitamins.

Which of the following are present in animal cells, but absent in almost all plant cells?

a. Centrioles b. Plastids c. Central vacuoles

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Centrioles are present in animal cells, but absent in almost all plant cells.

Which of the following surface structures do(es) not play a role in the motility of bacteria?

a. Flagella b. Pili c. Fimbriae

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: D

Which of the following statements regarding rough endoplasmic reticulum is/are false?

a. Rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and secretion. b. Rough endoplasmic reticulum is extensive and continuous with the outer membrane of the nucleus. c. Rough endoplasmic reticulum is the major site for synthesis of lipids.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false regarding rough endoplasmic reticulum. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the major site for synthesis of lipids.

Match the following:

 
a. Chloroplasts 1. They are the colourless plastids of varied shapes and sizes with stored nutrients.
b. Chromoplasts 2. They contain fat soluble carotenoid pigments that give the plant a yellow, orange or red colour.
c. Leucoplasts 3. They contain chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments that are responsible for trapping light energy.
  1. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3

  2. a - 1, b - 3, c - 2

  3. a - 2, b - 3, c - 1

  4. a - 3, b - 1, c - 2

  5. a - 3, b - 2, c - 1


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments that are responsible for trapping light energy. Chromoplasts contain fat soluble carotenoid pigments that give the plant a yellow, orange or red colour. Leucoplasts are the colourless plastids of varied shapes and sizes with stored nutrients.
