Which of the following cell organelles is responsible for extracting energy from carbohydrates to form $ATP$ ?
Answerc
(c) : Mitochondria are miniature biochemical factories where food stuffs or respiratory substrates are completely oxidised to carbon dioxide and water. The energy liberated in the process is initially stored in the form of reduced coenzymes and reduced prosthetic groups. The latter soon undergo oxidation and form energy rich $ATP$. $ATP$ comes out of mitochondria and helps perform various energy requiring processes of the cell like muscle contraction, nerve impulse conduction, biosynthesis, membrane transport, cell division, movement, etc. Because of the formation of $ATP$, the mitochondria are called power houses of the cell.

- D
in digesting proteins and carbohydrates.
AnswerCorrect option: B. in post translational modification of proteins and glycosylation of lipids
b
(b) : Post translational modification $(PTM)$ is a step in protein biosynthesis. Proteins are created on ribosomes translating $mRNA$ into polypeptide chains. These polypeptide chains undergo $PTM$, such as folding, cutting and other processes, before becoming the mature protein product. Proteins synthesized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum and lipids synthesized by smooth endoplasmic reticulum reach the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus. Here, they combine with carbohydrates to form glycoproteins and glycolipids. This process is called glycosylation.

Centriole is a non-membrane bound organelle which helps in cell division. It is composed mainly of a protein called tubulin. Fimbria is a special structure of bacteria. It is small bristle like fibres sprouting out of the cell and help bacterias to attach with rocks in stream and also to host tissue. Endomembrane system includes those organelles (like ER, golgi body, lysosome, vacuole) whose functions are coordinated. Mitochondria are a double membrane cell organelle which divide by fission and site of aerobic respiration.

Centrioles serve as basal bodies for cilia and flagella. They are concerned with spindle formation during cell division. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing many hydrolytic enzymes, which are optimally active at an acid pH (near $pH\; 5$). Thylakoids are membrane-bound organelles found within chloroplasts. The thylakoid membrane, forms many flattened, fluid-filled tubules that enclose a single convoluted compartment. These tubules tend to stack on top of each other to form a structure called a granum.

RER (rough endoplasmic reticulum) bears ribosomes on their surface. RER is involved in protein synthesis and secretion. Cell wall is a characteristic feature of plant cell, bacteria, fungi, algae and some archaea. The major function of the cell wall is to provide rigidity, tensile strength, structural support, protection against mechanical stress and infection. Flagella are a slender thread-like structure, especially a microscopic whip-like appendage which enables many protozoa, bacteria, spermatozoa, etc. to swim. It is responsible for cell movement. Lysosome is a single membrane bound vesicular structure and contains many hydrolytic enzymes.

SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) found in both animal cells and plant cells, makes cellular products
like hormones and lipids. It also distributes those products throughout the cell and to other places in the organism. Golgi apparatus is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes. Cristae are the infoldings or inward projections of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion, which are studded with proteins and increase the surface area for chemical reactions to occur like cellular respiration. Peroxisome is a small organelle present in the cytoplasm of many cells, which contains the reducing enzyme catalase and usually some oxidases. This organelle is involved in photorespiration. Elaioplasts, a type of leucoplast, is specialized for the storage of lipids in plants. Elaioplasts house oil body deposits as rounded plastoglobuli, which are essentially fat droplets.

The mitochondrion is a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. It contains outer and inner membranes composed of phospholipid bilayers and proteins. The two membranes have different properties. Because of this double-membrane organization, there are five distinct parts to a mitochondrion- the outer mitochondrial membrane, the intermembrane space (the space between the outer and inner membranes), the inner mitochondrial membrane, the cristae space (formed by infolding's of the inner membrane), and the matrix (space within the inner membrane). Mitochondria are also called as the power house of the cell.

Given below are some characters of a cell organelle. Identify the correct organelle which shows all the characters described above.
$(i)$ It is a membrane bound space found in the cytoplasm.
$(ii)$ It is bound by a single membrane called tonoplast.
$(iii)$ It contains water, sap, excretory products and other materials not useful to the cell.
$(iv)$ It has higher concentration of sap than the cytoplasm.
Answerd
The given characters are related to cell organelle vacuole. Vacuole is a membrane bound organelle, found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles are essentially enclosed compartments which are filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution, though in certain cases they may contain solids which have been engulfed. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.

Tonoplast is a membrane separating a vacoule from the surrounding cytoplasm in a plant cell. It controls ionic movement in and around the cell. Contractile vacuole is a sub-cellular structure found in unicellular algae. It absorbs excess water and wastes from a microorganism's cell and excretes them into the environment. Food vaculole is a membraneunclosed cell vacuole with a digestive function. It contains material taken up in by the process of phagocytosis. Air vacuole is a small cavity or space in the tissues.

$RBC$ (red blood cell) of the human is the best material for the study of structure of cell membrane. Chemical studies on the $RBC$ cell membrane enabled the scientists to infer the possible structure of plasma membrane. The plasma membrane of the $RBC$ consists of a complex, well-ordered group of lipids and proteins stretched over the outer surface of the cell in the form of a lipid bilayer punctuated by penetrating or attached proteins.

In which method of transport, plasma membrane does not require carrier molecule?
Answerc
Simple diffusion is a process in which plasma membrane does not require any carrier molecule to pass small non- charged molecules or lipid soluble molecules between the phospholipids to enter or leave the cell. The particles move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (they move down their concentration gradient). Oxygen and carbon dioxide and most lipids enter and leave cells by simple diffusion.
