CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS ON CELLS

Q1) A person performs an experiment by taking two cells “A” &


“B” and puts them in a hypotonic solution for 8 hours. A is an
animal cell while B is a bacteria called as Mycoplasma (PPLO).

Now based on the above information choose which of the


following is incorrect.

i) Both Cell A and B will burst.

ii) A will burst while B will not burst.

iii) B will burst while A will not burst.

iv) None of the above.

a) (i) & (ii)


b) (ii) &(iii)
c) (iii) & (i)
d) only (i)

Q2) Amit is a student of 9th. Once he was asked by his teacher to


perform an activity on osmosis. So he took an egg, a chemical
called “X” (Dilute HCl) and a concentrated salt solution

Now what should he do with the materials available with him so


that he is able to perform osmosis with egg.

a) He should first boil the egg and then dissolve it in the


chemical “X” so that the egg becomes de-shelled and the
put the de-shelled egg in the concentrated salt solution.
b) He should de-shelled the egg by putting it in the dilute HCl
and then put it in the concentrated salt solution.
c) Both (a) and (b)
d) None of the above.

Q3)Identify which of the following is/are incorrect regarding


chromosomes.

i. They are thread-like structure usually present in the nucleus


and are not visible during cell division.
ii. It is composed of RNA and glycoprotein.
iii. Two chromosomes bind together to form genes.
iv. It is found in all cells including those of prokaryotes.

a) (i) & (ii)


b) (ii) & (iv)
c) (i),(ii),(iii)
d) (i),(ii),(iii),(iv)

Q4) Ken took a cell organelle called as “Y” and did some
experiments on it. Afterwards he listed the observation on a piece
of paper.

to as the kitchen of the cells.
(d) None of these.

Q7) Select which of the following statement is true for


phagocytosis.

i. It is a process by which a cell’s plasma membrane


engulfs a large particle.
ii. In many multicellular organism’s it can be used for engulf
of food.
iii. An amoeba cannot utilize this process for engulfing of
food.
iv. The other name for phagocytosis is cell drinking.
(a) (i) & (ii)
(b) (ii) & (iii)
(c) only (ii)
(d) (iv) & (iii)
Q8) Jason takes an animal cell and extracts an organelle “Z” from
it. After extracting the organelle he kept it in an observation for
few days and listed the changes that took place in the cell.

(i) There was no synthesis of proteins.


(ii) The cell was unable to repair it’s rupture cell
membrane.

(b) (ii) and (iii) (d) (i) and (iv)

Q10) Select the false statement.


(a) Golgi apparatus is involved in the formation of
lysosomes.
(b) Nucleus, mitochondria and plastid have DNA; hence they
are able to make their own structural proteins.
(c) Mitochondria is said to be the power house of cell as ATP
is generated in them.
(d) Cytoplasm is also called protoplasm.
