Questions Related to the components in a cell

The process of growth and division takes place in the

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

  1. Nucleus

  2. Plasma

  3. Cytoplasm

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid present in cells that hold organelles and surrounded by the cell membrane. The processes of growth, expansion, as well as the division of the cell, take place in the cytoplasm. The nutrients are absorbed and stored in the cytoplasm so that these can be used by various organelles when needed. The cytoplasm also helps to dissolve the waste products. 

Cytoplasmic inheritance is due to

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

  1. Plastids

  2. Mitochondria

  3. Cytoplasmic particles

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Extranuclear inheritance or cytoplasmic inheritance is the transmission of genes that occur outside the nucleus. It is found in most eukaryotes and is commonly known to occur in cytoplasmic organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Mitochondria with their mitochondrial DNA from the mother's egg cell are incorporated into the zygote and passed to daughter cells,

So, the correct answer is 'All the above'.

.......... is the site for many biochemical reactions necessary to sustain life.

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

  1. Cytoplasm

  2. Ribosome

  3. Cell membrane

  4. Cell wall

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ribosomes are cell organelles, which are present in free or in bound form. They are involved in the synthesis of proteins.  
The cell membrane is the outer covering of the cell, which protects the cell. It also supports the framework of the cell. 
The cell wall is a protective outer covering of the cell. It supports the contents of the cell and protects from pathogen attack and wear and tear. It is made of cellulose, lignin. 

Cytoplasm is a gel-like substance present in all cells. All of the cell organelles are suspended in the cytoplasm. Most of the cellular activities as metabolic pathways like glycolysis, key processes like cell division occur in the cytoplasm. Hence, it is the place, where life-sustaining biochemical reactions occur. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which one of the following is the carrier of cytoplasm male sterility factors in crop plants?

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

  1. Nuclear DNA

  2. RNA

  3. Chloroplast DNA

  4. Mitochondrial DNA

Show answer
Correct Option: A

The term cytoplasm was coined by

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

  1. Sachs

  2. Strasburger

  3. Hanstein

  4. Flemming

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Cytoplasm refers to the living the material or the protoplast within a cell excluding the nucleus.
  • The term cytoplasm was coined by Eduard Strasburger in the year 1882.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Strasburger'.

Plasmagel or gel part of cytosol in contact with plasmalemma is 

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

  1. Ectoplasm

  2. Hyaloplasm

  3. Hyalosome

  4. Both A and B

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Cytoplasm refers to the living the material or the protoplast within a cell excluding the nucleus.
  • It is divided into two parts-  ectoplasm and endoplasm.
  • Ectoplasm- is the outer, non-granulated part of the cytoplasm. 
  • Endoplasm- is the inner granulated layer of the cytoplasm.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Ectoplasm'.

Movement of .......... in cytoplasm is considered as a signalling activity for metabolic processes.

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

  1. Calcium ions

  2. Proteins

  3. Sodium ions

  4. Potassium ions

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Movement of calcium ions in and out of the cytoplasm is thought to be a signalling activity for metabolic processes. In plants, movements of the cytoplasm around vacuoles are known as cytoplasmic streaming. 

Cytoplasm constitutes of about .......... percentage of water.

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

  1. 70

  2. 80

  3. 20

  4. 40

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid surrounded by the cell membrane and holds all the organelles. It is made up of eighty percent water and is usually clear and colourless. It helps in intracellular exchange of materials.

So, the correct answer is option B.

Animal cytoplasm is composed of 

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

  1. Proteins

  2. Salt

  3. Nucleotides

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid present in cells that hold organelles and surrounded by the cell membrane. In eukaryotes, the nucleus of a cell is separated from the cytoplasm by a double membrane, known as a nuclear membrane. The cytoplasm of the animal cell is made of proteins, carbohydrates, salts, sugars, amino acids and nucleotides. 

Which one is an extracytoplasmic cell organelle?

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

  1. Vacuole

  2. E.R.

  3. Nucleus

  4. Golgi apparatus

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Cytoplasm refers to the living the material or the protoplast within a cell excluding the nucleus.
  • Therefore, extracytoplasmic cell organelle refers to those organelles outside to the cell cytoplasm.
  • A nucleus is the only cell organelle excluded from the cytoplasm.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Nucleus'.
