Cell Biology | MCQs

Explanation

The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane.

It is composed of a double layer of lipids, specifically phospholipids.

Explanation

In plants, the cell wall is primarily composed of strong fibers of cellulose, a type of carbohydrate.

Cellulose is a polymer of glucose molecules that provides structural support, rigidity, and protection to the plant cell.

Explanation

• The correct answer is: Cell does not contain the hereditary material.

The cell theory postulates:

• All living organisms are made up of one or more cells.
• The cell is the fundamental unit of life.
• New cells are derived from pre-existing cells (biogenesis).

Explanation

• E. coli (Escherichia coli) is a type of bacterium.
• Specifically a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the gut of humans and other animals.

Explanation

• Fungi are multicellular organisms, consisting of many cells that work together to form complex structures like mushrooms and molds.
• They have modified cell wall and nucleus.
• They have not chlorophyll.
• Plants are multicellular, composed of many cells that work together to form roots, stems, leaves, and other structures.
• They have modified cell wall and nucleus.
• They have chlorophyll.
• Animals, including humans, are multicellular organisms made up of many cells that work together to form tissues, organs, and systems.
• They have modified nucleus but don't have cell wall.
• They have not chlorophyll.

Explanation

• Bacteria are unicellular organisms.
• They have cell wall but don't have proper nucleus.
• It doesn't contain chlorophyll.
• It is used to make medicines, yogurt and cheese.
• Algae are unicellular with proper cell wall and nucleus.
• It contain chlorophyll.
• It causes diseases: Cutleria, Ulva and Volvox.
