Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Organelles are vesicles present inside the cell. They are formed from the organization of the smaller molecules inside the cell. It is a membrane bound structure present inside the cell like mitochondria, chloroplast, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

The atoms in molecules combine to form tissues. These molecules combine to form an organelle. This is called as the organizational hierarchy inside the cell. Therefore,              option(b) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

The cells present inside the human body form molecules. These molecules form the organelles inside the body with double membrane structures. Thus, the molecules are smaller than organelles.

Option (b) is given as “A molecule”.

As “A molecule” is composed of atoms which further combine to form the organelle inside the cell, it is the right answer.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a), is given as “An organ”. An organ is composed of tissues. Hence, it is wrong answer.

Option (c), is given as “A cell”. A cell is a living matter of the cell composed of cytoplasm and nucleus.  Hence, it is wrong answer.

Option (d), is given as “A tissue”. A tissue is formed from the cells of the body. Hence, it is wrong answer.

Hence, the options (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The molecules present inside the cells form double membrane bound vesicles containing DNA inside the cell. Thus the molecules are smaller than the organelles inside the cell. It includes the level of the organization inside the human body.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
