Cell : The Unit Of Life
1) Which of the following statements was not explained in the cell theory given jointly by schleiden and schwann?
A) All living organisms are composed of cells and products of cells
B) Cell is the structural and functional unit of living organisms
C) Explanation of formation of new cells
D) None
Answer C) Explanation of formation of new cells
Formation of new cells was explained later by Rudolf Virchow
2) Which of the following is not a characteristic of prokaryotic cell -
A) Mesosome
B) Circular dna
C) Photosynthetic membrane system
D) Membrane bound organellesConsciousness
Answer D) Membrane bound organellesConsciousness
Prokaryotic cells lack membrane bound organelles
3) Most of the bacterial cell envelope consists of -
A) Only the cell membrane
B) The cell wall and cell membrane
C) A tightly bound 3 layered structure
D) Only glycocalyx
Answer C) A tightly bound 3 layered structure
Glycocalyx ,Cell wall, Cell membrane
4) Bacterial flagellum consists of all of the following parts except -
A) Filament
B) Microtubule
C) Hook
D) Basal body
Answer B) Microtubule
Microtubules are present in eukaryotic cell
5) If you removed the fimbriae from a bacterial cell, which of the following would you expect to happen?
A) The bacteria could no longer swim
B) The bacteria would not adhere to the host tissue
C) Transportation of molecules across the membrane would stop
D) The shape of bacteria would change
Answer B) The bacteria would not adhere to the host tissue
Fimbriae helps in adhering to host cells
6) The most abundant lipid in the cell membrane is -
A) Cutin
B) Cholesterol
C) Steroid
D) Phospholipid ie phosphoglycerides
Answer D) Phospholipid ie phosphoglycerides
Phosphoglycerides are the most abundant lipid in the cell membrane
7) The molecules in a membrane that limit its permeability are the -
A) Carbohydrates
B) Phospholipids
C) Proteins
D) Water
Answer B) Phospholipids
Phospholipids are water repellant in nature and thus restricts molecules to enter
8) Select the incorrect statement -
A) A membrane is a mosaic or composite of diverse lipid and proteins
B) In 2003, the chemistry nobel prize was awarded for work on aquaporins
C) A membrane is held together primarily by hydrophobic attraction
D) Proteins, not lipids, are responsible for fluid behavior
Answer D) Proteins, not lipids, are responsible for fluid behavior
Lipids are responsible for fluid behaviour
9) Which one is false about osmosis?
A) It is a specific form of diffusion
B) It refers to the movement of water along its concentration gradient
C) It is a passive movement of water
D) It occurs through a carrier protein and needs atp
Answer D) It occurs through a carrier protein and needs atp
It is purely only by concentration difference
10) What would you expect to happen if you removed the cell wall from a plant cell and placed it into a drop of water
A) The cell would begin to grow
B) The cell would shrink
C) The cell would burst
D) Nothing would happen
Answer C) The cell would burst
Osmotic pressure will increase
