Thank you shenamic this very powerfull helping to the all our student.



ANSWERS:

1. d. Ribosomes.
Ribosomes are non-membranous round oval bodies (12x15nm) formed of strands of  rRNA and associated proteins.
They are formed in the nucleus and pass to the cytoplasm through the pores in the nuclear membrane.
Ribosomes are site  of protein synthesis.


2. c. Lysosome.
It is spherical membranous organelles, concerned with intracytoplasm digestion.
It contains hydrolytic enzymes: lipase, protease, acid phosphatase,nuclease, etc….
3. e. Mitochondria
Mitochondria is membranous organelles, containing enzymes responsible for cell respiration and energy production.
They are considered the power-house or battery of cell.


4. d. Centrioles.
Cilia is a motile hair-like process from the free surface of some epithelial cell for respiratory epithelium.
Cilia is formed of 3 parts:
a. basal body : formed of single centrioles.
b. Shaft (axoneme): formed of 9 bundles of doublets at periphery in addition to elongation of 2 microtubules in the Centre (2 singles)
c. Rootlets: formed of growth of the third outer microtubules in each triplet in the basal body into cytoplasm(I,e. 9microtubules)



5. e. Mitochondria
Inclusions are non-living content of cytoplasm.
Mitochondria is living membranous organelles.


6. c. Protoplasm


7. b. 8-10 nanometers
   So it is difficult to be seen light microscope(LM)


8. b. Exocytosis.
  Exocytosis is the process by which the cell release its product or extrudes residual bodies.


9. d. Golgi apparatus.


10. b. Filaments
   Filaments: are non-membranous organelles which are group of minute threads of fine strands of molecular protiens responsible for elasticity and contractility of cytoplasm(muscles of cell).

Dear Friends , This is the Complete Answer of Histology Test-1. First Give a try to the Test and Then See if your answers are right. Thanks Dr.Habib, You can check your answers, We'll continue Posting such tests on different subjects on the Website, Wish you good luck!

1.
Which of the following is NOT a membranous organelle?
a. Lysosomes
b. Peroxisomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Ribosomes
e. Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer: d

Lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum are all membranous organelles.

2.
Which organelle contains digestive enzymes?
a. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
b. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
c. Lysosome
d. Golgi apparatus
e. Mitochondria

Answer: c

Endoplasmic reticulum is a system of tubules. If there are ribosomes on the tubules, it is termed "rough endoplasmic reticulum". Ribosomes produce proteins. When the ribosomes are attached to endoplasmic reticulum, the proteins produced by the ribosomes are exported. If there are no ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum, it is called "smooth endoplasmic reticulum". The role of smooth endoplasmic reticulum is lipid metabolism.

Lysosomes are membrane bound sacs of digestive enzymes. They are nicknamed "suicide sacs".

The Golgi apparatus are stacks of membranous sacs. Proteins are sorted and packaged in the Golgi apparatus.

The mitochondria is the site of ATP production for the cell. ATP is the energy currency of the cell. Mitochondria are nicknamed, the "powerhouse".

3.

4.
What structure is at the base of cilia?
a. Ribosomes
b. Peroxisome
c. Microfilaments
d. Centrioles
e. Nucleoli

Answer: d

The ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.

Peroxisomes contain enzymes for detoxification. One of the enzymes within peroxisomes is catalase. Catalase is involved in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide.

Microfilaments are made of actin. They form the cells cytoskeleton.

Centrioles are composed of microtubules. Centrioles are at the base of cilia and flagella. They are also involved with cell division.

Ribosomes are assembled in the nucleoli. The nucleolus is a spherical area within the cell nucleus.

5.
Which of the following is NOT considered an inclusion?
a. Pigment
b. Glycogen
c. Lipid
d. Secretory granules
e. Mitochondria

Answer: e

Mitochondria is an organelle. Pigment, glycogen, lipid, and secretory granules are all considered inclusions. Organelles perform an activity; they have a job; they require energy. Inclusions are for storage. Inclusions do not perform an energy requiring job.

6.
Collectively, what is the cytoplasm and nucleus called?
a. Plasmalemma
b. Glycocalyx
c. Protoplasm
d. Cristae
e. Ground substance

Answer: c

The cell boundary is defined by the cell membrane or plasmalemma. Glycocalyx is a polysacchride that can be found on the outer surface of the cell membranes. Collectively, the cytoplasm and nucleus form the protoplasm of a cell. The folds on the inner mitochodrial membrane are called cristae. The cytoplasm that surrounds organelles is the cytoplasmic ground substance or cytosol.

7.
How thick is the plasma membrane?
a. 8-10 angstroms
b. 8-10 nanometers
c. 8-10 micrometers
d. 8-10 millimeters
e. None of the above

Answer: b

The plasma membrane is 8-10 nanometers thick.

8.
What is the term for the general process that cells us to expunge material from the cell?
a. Endocytosis
b. Exocytosis
c. Pinocytosis
d. Phagocytosis
e. Active transport

Answer: b

Endotyosis is the term for the process cells use to have substances enter them. Exoctyosis is the term for the process cells use to remove substances. Phagocytosis is "cell eating" and is used for the transport of particulate matter. Pinocytosis is "cell drinking". Active transport is a method which requires energy.
