TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
a. Mitochondria c. Nucleolus
b. Ribosome d. Lysosome T V T V
ACCURATE ANSWER:-C TV
Reasoning:-
>>>The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed largely of
TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
RNA, most of the cellular DNA, and the DNA-
TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
binding proteins, such as the histones, which regulate its activity. The other options do

TV peroxide (H2O2) by using oxyge TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
n to remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction?
TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
a. Lysosomes c. Ribosomes
b. Peroxisomes d. Oxyhydrosomes T V
ACCURATE ANSWER:-B TV
Reasoning:-
>>>Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain enzymes that use oxyg TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
en to remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction that pr
TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
oduces H2O2, which is a powerful oxidant and potentially destructive if it accumulates

or escapes from peroxisomes. Ribosomes are RNA-

TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
cell injury?
TV
a. Ribosome c. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

b. Golgi complex TV
d. Lysosomes
T V
ACCURATE ANSWER:-D TV
, Reasoning:-
>>>The lysosomal membrane acts as a protective shield between the powerful diges
TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
tive enzymes within the lysosome and the cytoplasm, blocking their leakage into the c
TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
ytoplasmic matrix. Disruption of the membrane by various treatments or cellular injur
TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
y leads to a release of the lysosomal enzymes, which can then react with their specific

substrates, causing cellular self- TV TV TV
digestion. The other options do not correctly describe this process.

TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
a. The enzyme is transcribed from DNA by RNA in the nucleus, proceeds to t
