Explanation / Answer

67. De Novo biosynthesis of steroid, like cholesterol occurs in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, as it contains the major enzymes required for the synthesis.

Answer: c- the smooth ER.

68. Golgi flattened apparatus comprises sacks called the cisternae, which are stacked on top of one another, and attached to endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer: b – Golgi apparatus.

69. Lysosomes containing enzymes in inactive state are called primary lysosomes. When the primary lysosomes fuses with phagosomes are called secondary lysosomes.

Answer: d- is a primary lysosome that has fused with a phagosome.

70. Microtubules are made up of tubulin proteins. Tubulin consist of monomers alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin.

Answer: a- alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin.

71. Plant cells, algae, and some other eukaryotic cells have a double-membraned organelle called plastid. Plastids contain pigments and may be chloroplast, chromoplast or leucoplast. Plastids are typical absent in animals. Though some animal cells may acquire and use plastids for some short period.

Answer: d- plastids.

72. Photosynthetic pigments are present within the lamellae of an organized chloroplast. Photosynthetic organisms and plants, have pigments, that can absorb a specific quantum (absorption spectra) of light energy or photons. The light energy absorbed is converted to chemical energy (glucose)

Answer: d- sunlight energy is converted into chemical energy.

73. ATP synthase complex, designated as F0F1- ATP synthase, is located within the mitochondrial cristae. They help in back flow of proton, creating free energy to generate ATP. ATP synthase is composed of two parts: a) Coupling factor 1 (F1)- which contains the catalytic subunit of ATP synthase. b) Coupling factor 0 (F0) – which act as a proton channel between mitochondrial matrix and intramembranous mitochondrial space.

Answer: a- diffusion of protons.
