Explanation

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell because they are the site of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production. ATP is the primary energy carrier in cells, and its production is crucial for cellular activities.

Each ribosome are made up of how many subunits ?(Jharkhand-2003)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Ribosomes are made up of two subunits, a large subunit and a small subunit. In prokaryotes, these are the 50S and 30S subunits, respectively, while in eukaryotes, they are the 60S and 40S subunits.

Cell organelle with both oxidase and catalase enzyme is

Explanation

Peroxisomes are cell organelles that contain both oxidase and catalase enzymes. Oxidases are involved in the oxidation of substances, using oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide. Catalase then breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, protecting the cell from oxidative damage.

Explanation

(a) Microtubules are structures present in cilia, flagella, centrioles and spindle fibres. They are also the part of fibres found in cytoskeleton.

The Golgi complex plays a major role

Explanation

 Golgi complex plays a major role in post-translational modification of proteins and glycosidation of lipids. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which traps light and transform into chemical energy. Lysosomes are involved in digesting protein, fats and carbohydrates. Mitochondria are energy transferring organelles.

Ribosomal RNA is actively synthesized in

Explanation

In eukaryotes, the site of synthesis of most of the ribosomal RNA (TRNA) is nucleolus. The nucleolar organizer contains many copies of ribosomal DNA (repetitive DNA). The RNA cistron of nucleolar DNA forms 45 S precursor with the help of RNA polymerase. This 45 S RNA undergoes cleavage with the help of nucleases to give 18S, 285 and 5.8S rRNA units. Out of different rRNAs, the 5S rRNA is not synthesized in nucleolus. It is synthesized outside it.

What is true about ribosomes?

Explanation

Ribosomes are large, non-membranous, RNA-protein complexes which are necessary for protein synthesis. In prokaryotes, 70 S type of ribosomes are found while 80 S type of ribosomes are found in eukaryotes.

Select the correct statement from the following regarding cell membrane.

Explanation

(d) In 1972, Singer and Nicoison proposed fluid mosaic model for internal structure of plasma membrane. This is most wirleiy accepted model for plasma membrane. According to this model, a membrane consists of a continuous bilayer of phospholipid molecules in which globular proteins are embedded. The lipids are arranged in a bilayer with polar heads towards outerside.
