| I: | semi-autonomous organelles. |
| II: | formed by the division of pre-existing organelles and they contain DNA but lack protein-synthesizing machinery. |
Which one of the following cellular parts is correctly described?
| 1. | Centrioles - sites for active RNA synthesis |
| 2. | Ribosomes - those on chloroplasts are larger (80s) while those in the cytoplasm are smaller (70s) |
| 3. | Lysosomes - optimally active at a pH of about 8.5 |
| 4. | Thylakoids - flattened membranous sacs forming the grana of chloroplasts |
Match the following and select the correct answer:
| Column I | Column II | ||
| (a) | Centriole | (i) | Infoldings in mitochondria |
| (b) | Chlorophyll | (ii) | Thylakoids |
| (c) | Cristae | (iii) | Nucleic acids |
| (d) | Ribozymes | (iv) | Basal body of cilia or flagella |
1. A-iv, B-ii, C-i, D-iii
2. A-i, B-ii, C-iv, D-iii
3. A-i, B-iii, C-ii, D-iv
4. A-iv, B-iii, C-i, D-ii
| Statement I: | Mitochondria and chloroplasts are both double membrane bound organelles. |
| Statement II: | Inner membrane of mitochondria is relatively less permeable, as compared to chloroplast. |
| 1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
| 2. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. |
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. |
| 4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
