 Multiple Choice QuestionsMultiple Choice Questions

121.

Three of the following statements regarding cell organelles are correct while one is wrong. Which one is wrong?

  • Lysosomes are double membraned vesicles budded offfrom Golgi apparatus and contain digestive enzymes.

  • Endoplasmic reticulum consists ofa network of membranous tubules and helps in transport, synthesis and secretion

  • Leucoplasts are bound by two membranes, lack pigment but contain their own DNA and protein synthesizing machinery

  • Sphaerosomes are single membrane bound and are associated with synthesis and storage of lipids


122.

Assertion: Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the stain when washed with alcohol.

Reason: The outer face of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria contains lipopolysaccharides, a part of which is integrated into the membrane lipids

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false.


123.

Assertion : Mitochondria and chloroplasts are semi-autonomous organelles.

Reason : They are formed by division of pre-existing organelles as well as contain DNA but lack protein synthesizing machinery.

  • If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion

  • If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If Assertion is true but Reason is false

  • If both Assertion and Reason are false

124.

Assertion : A cell membrane shows fluid behaviour.

Reason : A membrane is a mosaic or compositeof diverse lipids and proteins.

  • If both Assertion and Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If both Assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false

  • If both Assertion and Reason are false statements


A.

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

The structure of cell membrane can be described by the fluid-mosaic model. It was given by Singer and Nicolson in 1972. The essential feature of fluid-mosaic model is cell membranes are considered to be quasifluid structures in which the lipids and proteins are in mosaic manner. It is considered to be as the lipid-protein association (mosaic) and also to be hydrophobic. The fluidity of the membrane is the result of this hydrophobic interaction, thus a cell membrane shows fluid behaviour.
