Consider statements about cell biology: 1. The plasma membrane regulates transport. 2. The nucleus contains DNA. 3. Mitochondria produce ATP. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The plasma membrane (cell membrane) is selectively permeable, regulating the entry and exit of substances into and out of the cell, maintaining internal homeostasis. The nucleus is the membrane-bound organelle that houses the cell's genetic material (DNA) organized into chromosomes, directing cellular activities. Mitochondria are the double-membrane-bound organelles known as the 'powerhouses of the cell' because they are the primary site of aerobic respiration, producing the majority of the cell's ATP (energy currency). All statements are correct.

Question #2
Which type of plastid stores starch?
A. Leucoplast
B. Chloroplast
C. Etioplast
D. Chromoplast

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Leucoplasts are colourless plastids that store nutrients: amyloplasts store starch, elaioplasts store lipids, aleuroplasts store proteins. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis, chromoplasts give yellow/orange colour (carotenoids), etioplasts are undeveloped chloroplasts in dark-grown plants. Amyloplasts are abundant in roots and tubers like potato.

A. Excretion
B. Respiration
C. Circulation
D. Digestion

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Respiration includes external respiration (breathing, gas exchange) and internal respiration (cellular metabolism). Digestion is food breakdown, circulation is transport, excretion is waste removal.
