Ribosomes
-
What is true about ribosomes?Ribosomes are granular structures composed of ribonucleic acid (rRNA) and proteins, and are not surrounded by any membrane.
Prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S and eukaryotic ones are 80S; ribosomes are found in both kinds of cells.
Nucleus
-
Ribosomal RNA is actively synthesized inThe nucleolus is a spherical, non-membrane-bound structure in the nucleus.
It is the site of active ribosomal RNA synthesis.
Larger and more numerous nucleoli are found in cells that are actively making proteins.
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
-
Which one of the following does not differ in E. coli and Chlamydomonas?E. coli is a prokaryote and Chlamydomonas is a eukaryote.
They differ in ribosomes (70S vs 80S), chromosomal organisation (naked circular DNA vs chromosomes with histones) and cell wall (peptidoglycan vs cellulose).
The cell membrane is structurally similar in both: a lipid bilayer with proteins.
Cell membrane
-
Select the correct statement from the following regarding cell membraneThe fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane was proposed by Singer and Nicolson (1972).
$Na^+$ and $K^+$ are moved by active transport (the $Na^+/K^+$ pump); in the human RBC membrane proteins are about 52 per cent; and the polar heads of the lipids face outwards while the hydrophobic tails face inwards.
