- Question
Which of the following is present in a prokaryotic cell?
Options- A. Ribosomes
- B. Chloroplast
- C. Mitochondria
- D. None
- Correct Answer
- Ribosomes
ExplanationRibosomes are present in prokaryotic cells. These are organelles which consist of two subunits. They are present in both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. They are made up of RNA and proteins and present in the cytoplasm and on the membranes and are involved in protein synthesis.

Correct Answer: Parvovirus B19 causes severe anemia because it preferentially infects erythrocyte precursors
Explanation:
Parvovirus B19 causes severe anemia because it preferentially infects erythrocyte precursors.
a. Parvovirus B19 binds preferentially to the erythrocyte blood group P antigen on erythroid precursor cells.
Answers B, C, D are incorrect:
b. after entry the single-stranded viral DNA genome is transported to the cell nucleus where the host DNA polymerase synthesizes the complimentary DNA strand.
c. Parvovirus B19 infection can be diagnosed by direct detection of viral DNA not RNA.
d. the fetus of a seropositive mother is protected from infection by maternal circulating antibodies.
Correct Answer: Judgement
Explanation:
Alcohol impairs your judgement. Judgement is in your brain stupid and it impairs your brain.
Correct Answer: During normal activity, a molecule of hemoglobin returning to the lungs carries one molecule of O2
Correct Answer: Exteroceptors
Correct Answer: Nucleus
Explanation:
Nucleus serves as the control center for cell metabolism and reproduction.
Correct Answer: in the infolded plasma membrane
Correct Answer: DNA
Explanation:
The nucleus of a cell contains chromosomes, which carry genetic information in a long molecule called DNA.
Genes are regions of DNA that carry the code to control a particular cell activity or the production of a particular protein.
Correct Answer: photosynthesis
Explanation:
Plants are producers, which means they make their own food. Chloroplasts are organelles found in eukaryotic and plant cells that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.
Plants use energy from sunlight to help make their food, but they need chloroplasts to do it.
Hence, in plants, chloroplasts are necessary for Photosynthesis.
Correct Answer: RNA
Explanation:
RNA is not a lipid among the given options.
A lipid is a substance of biological origin that is soluble in nonpolar solvents. It comprises a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Correct Answer: Prostate
Explanation:
The prostate gland is a walnut-sized structure that is located below the urinary bladder in front of the rectum. The prostate gland contributes additional fluid to the ejaculate. Prostate fluids also help to nourish the sperm. The urethra, which carries the ejaculate to be expelled during orgasm, runs through the center of the prostate gland.
