  4. i, ii, vi, vii


Correct Option: A

Organelle rich in Manganese is

  1. Ribosome

  2. Mitochondrion

  3. Chloroplast

  4. Lysosome

  5. Nucleus.


Correct Option: B

  1. Both chloroplast and mitochondrion has an internal compartment or thylakoid space bounded by thylakoid membrane

  2. Both contain DNA

  3. Chloroplast is generally larger

Which organelle occurs both in plants andĀ animals

  1. Cell wall

  2. Mitochondria

Beside the nucleus, which of the following cell organelles play an important role in hybrid vigor?
a. Lysosome
b. Mitochondria
c. Endoplasmic reticulum
d. Plastid
Select the correct answer using the codes given.

  1. $1$ and $2$

  2. $1$ and $4$

  3. $2$ and $3$

  4. $2$ and $4$


Correct Option: A

How does a cell rid itself of defective or malfunctioning organelles?

  1. They are engulfed by plastids and stored until export from cell is possible

  2. Defective parts accumulate until the cell itself dies

  3. They are exported by exocytosis

  4. Lysosomes assist in the removal of defective organelles by digesting them


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The lysosomes may be called "suicide bags" of the cell in view of their autolytic role, or "disposal units" of the cell because they digest the incoming food materials and remove the foreign bodies, toxic molecules, and debris; or "recycling centres" as they break down warn out and defective cells and cell organelles to component molecules for building new organelles and cells.

Cell cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon are being used commercially for preparing.

  1. Berberine

  2. Plamitine

  3. Shikonin

  4. Plumagin


Correct Option: A

Rapid and irreversible cell elongation occurs commonly in plants but not in animals. This difference is due to the.

  1. Presence of chloroplasts and mitochondria

  2. Absence of centrioles and Golgi bodies

  3. Absence of endoplasmic reticulum and presence of large vacuoles

  4. Presence of large vacuoles and cell walls


Correct Option: A

Cholesterol is synthesised in

  1. Brunners glands

  2. Liver

  3. Spleen

  4. Pancreas


Correct Option: B
