Which of the following is known as structural and functional unit of a living organism?

  1. Tissue

  2. Cell

  3. Red blood cells

  4. White blood cells


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cell is the structural and functional unit of a living organism.

Which of the following is not termed as an organelle of a cell?

  1. Mitochondria

  2. Centrosome

  3. Endoplasmic reticulum

  4. Chromatin fibres


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The living bodies, which are almost the same in both plant and animal cells are termed as organelles. Centrosome is found only in animal cells. Hence, it is not called as organelle.

Who intiates and regulates cell division in animals?

  1. Ribosomes

  2. Nucleolus

  3. Centromere

  4. Chromosomes


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is centromere, which initiates and regulates the process of cell division.

Which of the following remains absent in animal cells?

  1. Cell membrane

  2. Cytoplasm

  3. Cell wall

  4. Nucleus


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Teh cell wall remains present only in plant celsl. It is totally absent in animals.

Which of the following is known as seat of aerobic respiration in the cell?

  1. Golgi apparatus

  2. Dictyosome

  3. Mitochondria

  4. Chloroplast


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mitochondria is known as the power house of the cell. It is a seat of aerobic respiration.

In which of the following does the nuclear membrane remain absent?

  1. Bacteria

  2. Amoeba

  3. Hydra

  4. Yeast


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Bacteria is known as a prokaryotic cell in which the nuclear membrane remains absent.

Which of the following is a living part of a cell?

  1. Cell wall

  2. Vacuole

  3. Granule

  4. Plastid


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Plastid is a living part of a cell.

Which of the following is not a colouring pigment in a plant cell?

  1. Xyanthophyll

  2. Carotene

  3. Lucoplasts

  4. Anthocyanin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

They are colourless plastids. They do not have pigments. They only store starch in the plant cell.

Which of the following is not a single-celled organism?

  1. Bacterium

  2. Amoeba

  3. Volvox

  4. Yeast


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Volvox is a multicellular organism.

Which of the following is a supportive framework of a cell?

  1. Endoplasmic reticulum

  2. Nucleus

  3. Lysosomes

  4. Plasma membrane


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the cell membrane on the outside and the nuclear membrane on the inside. It is the supportive framework of a cell.

Find the odd one out.

  1. Virus

  2. Archaebacteria

  3. Bacteria

  4. Cyanobacteria


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Virus is a non-cellular organism. It does not show any characteristic of life until it enters a living body.

Which of the following is the correct shape of red blood cells?

  1. Circular and biconcave

  2. Amoeboid

  3. Elongated

  4. Bean shaped


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Red blood cells are circular and biconcave for easy passage through blood capillaries.
