questions.YF unacademy
1. For culturing, plasma from the adult chicken is
preferred to mammalian plasma because
A.
it forms a clear and solid coagulum even
after dilution
it is too opaque
it doesn't produce solid clots
it forms a semi solid coagulum'@ unacademy
2. Toxicity due to accumulation of ammonia can be
overcome
A. by substituting glutamine by glutamate
B. by controlled addition of glutamine at low
level
c. by removal of ammonia or ammonium from
culture medium
all of the above4. Disaggregating of cells can be achieved by
A. physical disruption
B. enzymatic digestion
C. treating with chelating agents
D.
all of the above' unacademy
5. Accumulation of lactate leads to
A.
B.
increase in pH
no change in pH
reduction in the pH of culture hence loss of
cell viability
no loss of cell viabilityYF unacademy
6. When dissolved oxygen is lower than the critical
concentration, viable cell concentration declines
because of
A. incomplete glutamine oxidation
B. increase in specific lactate production from
glucose
C. both (a) and (b)
accumulation of ammonia'@ unacademy
8. Excess CO suppress cell growth and productivity
by
A.
inhibiting respiration
altering intracellular pH by diffusing across
cell membrane
both (a) and (b)
altering pH of the medium'F unacademy
9. Which of the following is incorrect?
A.
Established cell lines (ECL) have short
doubling time
ECL are invariably aneuploid
ECL grow in higher density
ECL do not show much evidence of spatial
orientation'@ unacademy
10. What is the effect of excess accumulation of
metabolite products (lactate and ammonium) on
cells?
A.
B.
They act as growth promoters
They act as growth inhibitors
Have no effect on cells
Lactate helps in the growth while
ammonium inhibits the growth'F unacademy
11. What is the concentration of CO2 required for
culturing animal cells?
A. 2-5%
B. 1-10%
Cc. 10-15%
D. 15-20%'F unacademy
15. What are the main constituents of culture for
animal cell growth?
A.
B
c.
D
Glucose and Glutamine
Growth factors
Cytokines
All of these‘Y unacademy
16. During the growth of animal cells in culture, it is
noticed that the cells do not look very healthy.
After an investigation, this is found that there is a
lot of lactic acid in the culture fluid. What is
probably wrong with this culture?
A. Ethyl alcohol is being produced in excess
B. The cells have too much oxygen
C. Glycolysis is being inhibited
D.
The cells do not have enough oxygen‘P unacademy
19. pH of culture medium is initially controlled by
A.
B
c.
D
presence of CO
presence of bicarbonate buffer
addition of bases
none of theseWP unacademy
22. How does COz help in the cell metabolism during
cell culture?
A.
It participates in the de novo synthesis of
purines and pyrimidines
Helps in the cells respiration
For monitoring pH of the culture
All of the above‘Z unacademy
24. Cells which have undergone transformation
frequently become
A.
B
c.
D.
anchorage independent
anchorage dependent
stable
unstable'Z unacademy
30. Which of the following is not a source of energy in
active muscle cells?
A. Creatine phosphate
B. ATP
C. Lactic acid
D
Glucose
