Q:

In what organelle does cellular respiration take place?

A) Cytoplasm B) Ribosomes
C) Mitochondria D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Mitochondria

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the multi-step process that creates energy from nutrients and food molecules. It begins in the cytoplasm of the cell, with the mitochondria functioning as the main organelle where the rest of the process continues and finishes.

During respiration, glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Q:

Reflex actions are controlled by

A) The Spinal Chord B) The Nerves
C) The cells D) The Brain
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) The Spinal Chord

Explanation:

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This allows for faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain.

Q:

Function of Bile juice?

Answer

Bile contains bile acids, which are critical for digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. Since bile increases the absorption of fats, it is an important part of the absorption of the fat-soluble substances, such as the vitamins A, D, E, and K. Besides its digestive function, many waste products, including bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cells recycled by the liver are eliminated from the body by secretion into bile and elimination in feces.

Q:

Do plant cells have Mitochondria?

A) No B) Yes
C) May be D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Yes

Explanation:

While plant cells have chloroplasts to photosynthesize, they also require ATP for cellular functions, and do use oxygen to break down some of the sugar they produce in order to generate that ATP. Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria. They need mitochondria for this reason.
Hence with this logic, we can say that Plants cells have mitochondria.

Q:

Which chemical is not found in DNA nucleotides?

A) Thymine B) Uracil
C) Adenine D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Uracil

Explanation:

A nucleotide is an organic molecule that is the building block of DNA and RNA. They also have functions related to cell signaling, metabolism, and enzyme reactions. A nucleotide is made up of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. RNA contains uracil, instead of thymine. 

 

A nucleotide within a chain makes up the genetic material of all known living things.
