In exams like SSC, Banking, Railways, and others, we find many questions from the General Science section. In this section, Biology topics are considered favorites. We will provide topic-wise practice questions so that students can be able to practice more and more and get most of the questions correct in this section. In this article, we will provide 20 questions from the Cytology section.      

Questions Based on Cytology :

Ques 1. Which of the following given options is the plant cell wall mainly consisting of?
(a) Lipids
(b) Vitamin
(c) Cellulose
(d) Protein

Ans. (c) Cellulose
Explanation – The primary cell wall of land plants is composed of the polysaccharides cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectin.

Ques 2. which of the following given options does not have a cell wall?
(a) Euglena
(b) Paramecium
(c) Gonyaulax
(d) Mycoplasma

Ans. (d) Mycoplasma
Explanation – Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall around their cell membranes.

Ques 3. Which organelles in the cell, then the nucleus, contain DNA?
(a) Centriole
(b) Golgi  Apparatus
(c) Lysosome
(d) Mitochondria

Ans. (d)  Mitochondria
Explanation – Mitochondria contain DNA other than the nucleus. Mitochondria are thought to be the parasites in the eukaryotic cells that are inside the latter as a result of the endo-symbolic event that took place earlier in the evolution.

(d) Ribosome

Ans. (c) Mitochondria
Explanation – Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of a cell.

Ques 9. The site of cellular respiration is?
(a) Golgi bodies
(b) Ribosome
(c) Lysosome
(d) Mitochondria

Ans. (d) Mitochondria
Explanation – The enzymatic reaction of cellular respiration begins in the cytoplasm, but most of the reaction occurs in the  Mitochondria.
