Consider the following statements regarding mitochondria: 1. They are double-membrane organelles. 2. They have their own 80S ribosomes. 3. They are the site of aerobic respiration. Which of the statements is/are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider the following statements regarding mitochondria:
1. They are double-membrane organelles.
2. They have their own 80S ribosomes.
3. They are the site of aerobic respiration.
Which of the statements is/are correct?
A. 1 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2, and 3
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Mitochondria have two membranes (outer and inner) and are the site of Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. They possess 70S ribosomes, not 80S. Hence, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Question #1
Consider statements about ecology: 1. Producers form the first trophic level. 2. Energy flow in an ecosystem is unidirectional. 3. The pyramid of energy can be inverted. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Green plants (producers) always occupy the first trophic level in a food chain. Energy flow is unidirectional, moving from the sun to producers and then to consumers, never returning to the sun. Due to the 10% law of energy transfer, the pyramid of energy is always upright and can never be inverted. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
The 10% law of energy transfer in a food chain was proposed by:
A. Raymond Lindeman
B. Arthur Tansley
C. Eugene Odum
D. Charles Elton

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The 10% law of energy transfer, which states that only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next, was proposed by Raymond Lindeman in 1942. This law explains why food chains typically have only 3-4 trophic levels; there is simply not enough energy available to support higher levels.

Question #3
The process by which bacteria reproduce is:
A. Binary fission
B. Budding
C. Mitosis
D. Meiosis

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells after DNA replication. Mitosis and meiosis are eukaryotic. Budding occurs in yeast and some bacteria.
