Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs)
1. Which statement best describes the cell?
A. The smallest functional unit of an organism
B. A structure made solely of proteins
C. Only found in multicellular organisms
D. Independent of genetic material
Rationale: Cells are the basic functional and structural units of life, present
in all organisms.
2. Who first coined the term “cell” after observing cork under a microscope?
A. Louis Pasteur
B. Robert Hooke
C. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
D. Matthias Schleiden
, Rationale: Robert Hooke observed cork cells and coined the term “cell” in
1665.
3. The cell theory states that:
A. All cells arise from pre-existing cells
B. Cells are formed spontaneously
C. Only eukaryotes are composed of cells
D. Cells can exist without DNA
Rationale: Cell theory asserts that all living organisms are made of cells
and cells come from pre-existing cells.
4. Which structure contains the cell’s genetic material?
A. Cytoplasm
B. Nucleus
C. Plasma membrane
D. Ribosome
Rationale: The nucleus houses DNA, which directs cell functions.
5. Prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells in that:
A. Prokaryotes have a nucleus
B. Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles
C. Eukaryotes lack DNA
D. Prokaryotes are always multicellular
