1. Which organelle is responsible for oxidative phosphorylation?
A. Ribosome
B. Mitochondria
C. Golgi apparatus
D. Lysosome
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Mitochondria produce ATP through oxidative
phosphorylation, the primary energy source for the cell.
2. Which macromolecule carries genetic information?
A. Protein
B. Nucleic acid
C. Lipid
D. Carbohydrate
Correct answer: B
Rationale: DNA stores hereditary information, and RNA plays a
role in protein synthesis.
,3. Which organelle modifies and packages proteins for secretion?
A. Golgi apparatus
B. Rough ER
C. Smooth ER
D. Lysosome
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Golgi apparatus processes, sorts, and packages proteins
for transport.
4. Which macromolecule stores long-term energy in animals?
A. Protein
B. Lipid
C. Carbohydrate
D. Nucleic acid
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Triglycerides are stored in adipose tissue and provide
energy reserves.
5. Which organelle synthesizes proteins?
A. Ribosome
B. Lysosome
C. Smooth ER
D. Golgi apparatus
,Correct answer: A
Rationale: Ribosomes translate mRNA into proteins required for
cellular functions.
6. Which carbohydrate forms plant cell walls?
A. Starch
B. Cellulose
C. Glycogen

7. Which organelle detoxifies hydrogen peroxide?
A. Peroxisome
B. Lysosome
C. Smooth ER
D. Golgi apparatus
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Peroxisomes metabolize fatty acids and neutralize
reactive oxygen species.

occur?
, A. G1
B. S
C. G2
D. M
Correct answer: B
Rationale: DNA replication takes place in the S phase to prepare for
cell division.
9. Proteins are composed of which monomers?
A. Amino acids
B. Monosaccharides
C. Nucleotides
D. Fatty acids
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Amino acids link via peptide bonds to form functional
proteins.
