Which of the following statements about the chloroplast is correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following statements about the chloroplast is correct?
A. Thylakoids are stacked to form cristae.
B. It is found in all eukaryotic cells.
C. The stroma is the site of the Calvin cycle.
D. It has 70S ribosomes in its outer membrane.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma. Chloroplasts are only in plants/algae; thylakoids stack into grana; cristae are in mitochondria; 70S ribosomes are in stroma, not membrane.

Question #1
Which of the following is the correct sequence of taxonomic hierarchy from lowest to highest?
A. Genus → Species → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom
B. Species → Family → Genus → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom
C. Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom
D. Species → Genus → Order → Family → Class → Phylum → Kingdom

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The correct taxonomic hierarchy in ascending order is: Species (lowest) → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum (or Division in plants) → Kingdom (highest). Some classifications add Domain above Kingdom. This system groups organisms based on shared characteristics. Binomial nomenclature uses Genus and Species. Option A correctly places Family before Order.

Question #2
The process of physical and chemical breakdown of food into absorbable form is:
A. Egestion
B. Assimilation
C. Digestion
D. Absorption

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Digestion converts complex, insoluble food molecules into simple, soluble forms that can be absorbed. It involves mechanical action (chewing, churning) and enzymatic hydrolysis. Absorption is the uptake of nutrients, assimilation is incorporation into body tissues, egestion is elimination of undigested waste.

Question #3
Which of the following statements about enzymes is correct?
A. All enzymes are proteins.
B. Enzymes are non-specific in their action.
C. Enzymes increase the activation energy of reactions.
D. Cofactors are always organic molecules.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Almost all enzymes are proteins (except ribozymes). They lower activation energy, are highly specific, and cofactors can be inorganic (metal ions) or organic (coenzymes).
