Questions Related to number and shape of cells

Mucosal living of which organ differ from others in concern with number of layer of cell (simple/strtified)?

  1. Stomach

  2. Small intestine

  3. PCT

  4. Oesophagus


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The proximal convoluted tubule(PCT) of the nephron in the kidney has microvilli. Thus, it has 2 mucosal linings whereas rest others have only one mucosal lining. So, the correct answer is 'PCT'.

How many cells are present in human body?

  1. One million cells.

  2. One billion cells.

  3. One trillion cells.

  4. More than a trillion cells.


Correct Option: D

Bacterial cell divides every two minutes. It takes 20 minutes a cup to be one-fourth full. How much time it will take to fill the cup?

  1. 24 minute

  2. 60 minute

  3. 40 minute

  4. 50 minute


Correct Option: A

Cells regulate their activity through 

  1. Flow of energy

  2. Flow of material

  3. Flow of information

  4. Flow of smoke


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cells in your body get energy from the foods that are eaten, such as glucose (a sugar). Cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into water, carbon dioxide and usable form of energy called ATP (this stands for adenosine triphosphate).

So the correct answer is 'option A'.

Match the column I with column correctly.

IV. A typical eukaryotic cells D. $0.02-0.2\mu m$
  1. I-B, II-D, III-C, IV-A

  2. I-A, II-B, III-C, IV-D

  3. I-D, II-C, III-B, IV-A

  4. I-B, II-D, III-A, IV-C


Correct Option: A

How many statements is/are correct?
(A) Premordial germ cells are $2$n in nature.
(B) Spermipgenesis occurs in epididymis.
(C) Galea capitis is cap like structure found at head of sperm.
(D) Corpus spongiosum is covered by tunica albuginea.

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Three

  4. Four


Correct Option: A

Which of the following is incorrectly match?

  1. For fully turgid cell $\Rightarrow$ DPD $=0$

  2. DPD of solution in vessel $\Rightarrow$ OP $-$ TP

  3. For full turgid cell $\Rightarrow$ OP $=$ TP

  4. DPD for a flaccid cell $\Rightarrow$ DPD $=$ OP


Correct Option: A

Which of the following is an exception with either RNA or DNA in the cell as genetic material ? 

  1. Algae

  2. Fungi

  3. Bacteria

  4. Viruses


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Viruses are an exception to cell theory as it is an acellular organism that is living inside the host and nonliving outside the host. In viruses, only one nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) is present. Thus, a virus can be either a DNA virus or an RNA virus. Viruses infecting animals usually have DNA as genetic material. Viruses infecting plants usually have RNA as genetic material. All eukaryotic cells have both DNA and RNA in their cells.

The mature cells in the mammalian body, i.e., RBC loses their capacity for

  1. Aerobic respiration

  2. DNA replication

  3. RNA synthesis

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nucleus is double membrane covered protoplasmic body that contains hereditary information. A nucleus is absent in some mature cells like mammalian RBCs and sieve tube cells in plants. They are called as enucleate cells. In mammals, erythrocytes also lose all other cellular organelles such as their mitochondria, Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. As a result of not containing mitochondria, these cells use none of the oxygen they transport; instead they produce energy by glycolysis of glucose and lactic acid fermentation of the resulting pyruvic acid.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Which of the folwing statement can be related to 'It is said that every multicellular organism has come from a single cell'?

  1. Every organism starts its life from a zygote, a single cell.

  2. Cells divide to produce cells of their own kind and thus, all cells of the body come from the pre-existing cells.

  3. Both A and B.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

All the multicellular organisms start their life with a single cell (zygote). Later, it is divided and differentiated into different cell types in multicellular organisms. Cells are capable of dividing to form their own kind of cells. Thus, all cells of the body come from the pre-existing cells. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
