The cis and trans faces of the Golgi Apparatus are:
1. | Similar but not interconnected |
2. | Similar and interconnected |
3. | Entirely different but interconnected |
4. | Entirely different and not interconnected |
Plastids used in storing proteins are called as:
1. Amyloplasts
2. Aleuroplasts
3. Elaioplasts
4. Chromoplasts
A centriole-like structure, from which the cilium and the flagellum emerge, is the:
1. Centrosome
2. Basal body
3. Axoneme
4. Vimentin
The outer membrane of the nucleus:
I. is continuous with the Endoplasmic reticulum
II. does not bear ribosomes.
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
If the centromere is situated close to the end of a chromosome, it is called as:
1. Metacentric
2. Submetacentric
3. Acrocentric
4. Telocentric
Centrioles, cilia, flagella, and basal bodies have remarkably similar structural elements and arrangements. This leads us to which of the following as a probable hypothesis?
1. | Disruption of one of these types of structure should necessarily disrupt each of the others as well. |
2. | Loss of basal bodies should lead to loss of all cilia, flagella, and centrioles. |
3. | Motor proteins such as dynein must have evolved before any of these four kinds of structure. |
4. | Natural selection for motility must select for microtubular arrays in circular patterns. |
The presence of cholesterol in the plasma membranes of some animals.
1. | enables the membrane to stay fluid more easily when cell temperature drops. |
2. | enables the animal to remove hydrogen atoms from saturated phospholipids. |
3. | enables the animal to add hydrogen atoms to unsaturated phospholipids. |
4. | makes the membrane less flexible, allowing it to sustain greater pressure from within the cell. |
Prokaryotic cells have something unique in the form of:
1. Inclusion bodies
2. Plasmids
3. Cell wall
4. 70 S ribosomes
Gas vacuoles allow cyanobacteria to:
1. | Store carbon dioxide for assimilation |
2. | Control their buoyancy |
3. | Provide anaerobic conditions to nitrogenase |
4. | Eliminate toxic ammonia |
The lipid component of the plasma membrane mainly consists of:
1. Triglycerides
2. Cholesterol
3. Phosphoglycerides
