2. Most of a cell’s genetic information, including RNA and DNA, is contained in the:
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
a. Mitochondria c. Nucleolus
b. Ribosome d. Lysosome J C J C
ACCURATE ANSWER:-C JC
Reasoning:-
>>>The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed large

ly of RNA, most of the cellular DNA, and the DNA-
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
binding proteins, such as the histones, which regulate its activity. The other option

ction?
a. Lysosomes c. Ribosomes
b. Peroxisomes d. Oxyhydrosomes
J C
ACCURATE ANSWER:-B JC
Reasoning:-
>>>Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain enzymes that use o JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC

n that produces H2O2, which is a powerful oxidant and potentially destructive if it

, accumulates or escapes from peroxisomes. Ribosomes are RNA-

protein complexes (nucleoproteins) that are synthesized in the nucleolus and secr

4. Which cell component is capable of cellular autodigestion when it is released du
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
ring cell injury?
JC JC
a. Ribosome c. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum JC JC
b. Golgi complex JC d. Lysosomes
J C
ACCURATE ANSWER:-D JC
, Reasoning:-
>>>The lysosomal membrane acts as a protective shield between the powerful d
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
igestive enzymes within the lysosome and the cytoplasm, blocking their leakage i
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
nto the cytoplasmic matrix. Disruption of the membrane by various treatments or
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC J
cellular injury leads to a release of the lysosomal enzymes, which can then react
C JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
with their specific substrates, causing cellular self-
JC JC JC JC JC JC
digestion. The other options do not correctly describe this process.

5. What is the sequence of steps in the development of a digestive enzyme by the
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
pancreas cells from the initial transcription to the release from the cell?
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
a. The enzyme is transcribed from DNA by RNA in the nucleus, proceeds
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
to the ribosome for synthesis, and is conducted in a secretory vesicle t
JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC JC
o the cell membrane.
