Biology Chapter 3 : Test Yourself
1 / 11
A network of channels extending from cell membrane to nuclear membrane is called:
Reasoning: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a system of interconnected membranes forming channels throughout the cytoplasm. It is continuous with the nuclear membrane and helps transport materials within the cell.
2 / 11
The site of enzyme synthesis in cells is:
Reasoning: Most enzymes are proteins, and proteins are synthesized on ribosomes.
3 / 11
What are the functions of mitochondria?
Reasoning: Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they carry out cellular respiration, producing ATP (energy).
4 / 11
A red blood cell and a plant root hair cell both have:
Reasoning: Both cells are adapted for efficient exchange of substances: Red blood cells have a biconcave shape, increasing surface area for oxygen exchange. Root hair cells have long projections that increase surface area for water and mineral absorption.
5 / 11
Four cells are shown: A is a red blood cell, B is a spindle-shaped muscle cell, C is a pair of guard cells, and D is a neuron. Which cell contracts when stimulated?
Reasoning: B is muscle cell (elongated, spindle-shaped). Muscle cells are specialized to contract when stimulated, producing movement.
6 / 11
Which of the following cell organelles does not contain DNA?
Reasoning: The nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts contain their own DNA. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes and do not contain DNA.
7 / 11
Phospholipids required for cell-membrane formation are synthesized in:
Reasoning: The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) synthesizes lipids, including phospholipids, which are major components of cell membranes.
8 / 11
Cytoskeleton is an important component of eukaryotic cells. Which of the following statements correctly describes cytoskeleton?
Reasoning: The cytoskeleton maintains cell shape, provides mechanical support, enables movement of organelles, and participates in cell division. It consists of different proteins, not a single type.
9 / 11
The shape of normal red blood cells is:
Reasoning: Normal red blood cells have a biconcave disc shape, which increases surface area for efficient gas exchange and allows flexibility to pass through narrow capillaries.
10 / 11
Which option correctly matches plastid types with photosynthesis, pigmentation, food storage, and colour variety?
Reasoning: Chloroplasts are photosynthetic plastids. Chromoplasts contain pigments and provide colour variety. Leucoplasts store food materials.
11 / 11
Which of the following statements correctly represents ribosomes?
Reasoning: Ribosomes are formed in the nucleolus of the nucleus and then move into the cytoplasm, where they function in protein synthesis. They are non-membranous and may be free in cytoplasm or attached to RER, so other options are incorrect.
