Sample Cell: The Unit of Life Questions

  1. Given below are two statements: Statement I: Schleiden concluded that the presence of a cell wall is a unique character of plant cells based on his studies on plant tissues. Statement II: Schwann proposed the hypothesis that the bodies of animals and plants are composed of cells and products of cells. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer:
    • A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
    • B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
    • C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
    • D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  2. Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Omnis cellula-e-cellula was proposed by Rudolf Virchow to modify the cell theory. Reason (R): Schleiden and Schwann together formulated the cell theory but did not explain how new cells were formed. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer:
    • A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
    • B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)

    • D. (A) is false but (R) is true
  3. Consider the following four statements regarding cell structure and identify the INCORRECT statement(s): (i) Mycoplasmas are the smallest living cells and can survive without oxygen. (ii) Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and multiply more rapidly than eukaryotic cells. (iii) Ribosomes and centrosomes are membrane-less organelles found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. (iv) Genomic DNA in prokaryotes is naked and circular, consisting of a single chromosome.
    • A. (i) and (iii)
    • B. (iii) only
    • C. (ii) and (iv)
    • D. (i), (ii) and (iv)
  4. Which of the following cellular features is common to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
    • A. Presence of histone proteins associated with nuclear DNA
    • B. Cell wall composed of peptidoglycan
    • C. Fluid mosaic plasma membrane made of phospholipid bilayer
    • D. Presence of membrane-bound organelles like ER and Golgi bodies
  5. Which of the following statements about extrachromosomal plasmid DNA in prokaryotes is INCORRECT?
    • A. Plasmids are small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecules present in addition to genomic DNA.
    • B. Plasmid DNA confers unique phenotypic characters to bacteria, such as resistance to antibiotics.
    • C. Plasmids are essential for basic metabolic survival and housekeeping functions of prokaryotic cells.
    • D. Plasmid DNA is used to monitor bacterial transformation with foreign DNA.
