Questions Related to cytoplasm

End of prophase is marked by?

biology organization of life the cell structure cytoplasm number and shape of cells

  1. Initiation of condensation of chromosomal material

  2. Complete disintegration of nuclear membrane

  3. Reappearance of ER, Golgi body, nucleolus and nuclear envelop

  4. Alignment of chromosomes at the equator

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Cells capable of division are

biology organization of life the cell structure cytoplasm number and shape of cells

  1. Stem cells.

  2. Meristematic cells.

  3. Undifferentiated cells.

  4. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Stem cells are totipotent cells that can able to differentiate and divide into any type of cells of the body. meristematic cells are undifferentiated cells of the plants that can able to divide and form tissues, organs of the plant. so cells capable of division are all the cells including stem cells, meristematic cells and undifferentiated cells. Hence option D is correct.

A nucleated differentiated cell that has lost the power to dedifferentiate is ____________.

biology organization of life the cell structure cytoplasm number and shape of cells

  1. Nerve cells.

  2. Kidney cells.

  3. Liver cells.

  4. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
A nucleated differentiated cell that has lost the power to division are nerve cells. These are the cells of nervous system and carry electrical messages and signals throughout the body. They have lost their power to division because the existing ones can grow new connections by loosing the old ones and also these cells needs oxygen and nutrients and if it divides rapidly and get packed, it will become difficult to supply and hence will starve.
So, the correct answer is option A.

RBCs are

biology organization of life the cell structure cytoplasm number and shape of cells

  1. Differentiated cells.

  2. Undifferentiated cells.

  3. Dedifferentiated cells.

  4. Dead cells.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mammalian erythrocytes also called as red blood cells are formed in bone marrow from multipotential hemocytoblast and further converted to erythroblast (normoblast). The nucleus and mitochondria of erythroblast disappear and it is converted to mature erythrocyte with haemoglobin. So RBC's are differentiated cells which lack a nucleus.

Which one of the following is anucleate?

biology organization of life the cell structure cytoplasm number and shape of cells

  1. Sieve tube

  2. Companion cell

  3. Medullary ray

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Formation of meristems cork cambium from fully differentiated parenchyma cells is an example of :

biology organization of life the cell structure cytoplasm number and shape of cells

  1. Differentiation

  2. Redifferentiation

  3. Dedifferentiation

  4. Regenration

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Cambium is the layer which forms Cork and acts as a secondary meristem from a layer of collenchyma or parenchyma immediately beneath the epidermis. The cells which produce from cork cambium will differentiate and will get mature to perform a specialized function. The living cells which lost the capacity to divide can regain the capacity of the division under certain conditions is called as 'Dedifferentiation.'
So the correct option is 'Dedifferentiation.'

Any specialized plant cell that is dispersed among cells of a different kind is called a

biology organization of life the cell structure cytoplasm number and shape of cells

  1. Marcophyll

  2. Xenophyte

  3. Normoblast

  4. ldioblast

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
An idioblast is an isolated plant cell that differs from neighboring tissues. They have various functions such as storage of reserves, excretory materials, pigments, and minerals. They could contain oil, latex, gum, resin, tannin or pigments etc. So, the correct answer is "Idioblast."

Dedifferentiated cells are formed in the region of

biology organization of life the cell structure cytoplasm number and shape of cells

  1. Injury.

  2. Regeneration.

  3. Secondary growth.

  4. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An undividable differentiated cell sometimes gains the power to divide. This process is called dedifferentiation. Wound healing after injury and secondary growth in plants are some of the best examples of dedifferentiation. Dedifferentiation is one of the mechanisms of natural regeneration. So answer D is correct.

Which part of the cell is wrongly matched with its function?

bio-chemistry cell biology cytoplasm the components in a cell component of the cell

  1. Nucleus controls the activities of the cell

  2. Cytoplasm makes chlorophyll in green plants

  3. Cell wall protects a plant cell

  4. Cell membrane lets water and gas in and out of the cell

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and thus regulates all the activities of the cell.

Cytoplasm is the fluid present in the cell. It is present between plasma membrane and nucleus. it helps to maintain the shape of the cell and helps in distribution of cellular materials inside the cell.
Cell wall is a rigid covering mainly present in plant and bacterial cell and provides protection to the plant cell.
Cell membrane is a semipermeable membrane and it regulates the entry and exit of the molecules.
So, the correct answer is option B.

Which of the following is a part of protoplasm present between the nuclear membrane and cell organelle?

bio-chemistry cell biology cytoplasm the components in a cell component of the cell

  1. Leucoplast

  2. Nucleoplasm

  3. Cytoplasm

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cytoplasm is a semi-fluid jelly like substance which contains various organelles and inclusions. It also contains a number of inorganic substances forming a clear true solution as well as organic substances like lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. It is homogenous and colourless in nature.
