Remembering
1. Who first described cells and where did the idea for the word come
from?
 Answer: Robert Hooke first described cells in 1665, inspired by the
small rooms or "cellular" in a monastery.
2. Who named the nucleus and what does the word mean?
 Answer: The term "nucleus" was coined by Franz Bauer and it
means the central or core part of a cell.
3. What is a cell?
 Answer: A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living
organisms.
4. What is the largest cell in the human body?
 Answer: The largest cell in the human body is the female ovum or
egg cell.
5. What are cilia?
 Answer: Cilia are small, hair-like structures on the surface of cells
that help with movement or the movement of substances.
6. Which red-coloured substance can you find in RBC?
 Answer: Haemoglobin is the red-coloured substance found in red
blood cells (RBCs) that binds with oxygen for transport.
7. What is the other name of nerve cells?
Answer: Nerve cells are also known as neurons.
8. The human body is made of different types of cells.
a. Look at the diagram of a ciliated cell.
Name structures A,B and C.
A _____________________________
B _____________________________
C _____________________________
Ans. A – Cell membrane , B – Cytoplasm , C- Nucleus
Understanding
9. Arrange these parts of a body in order of size starting with the largest:
cell, organ, tissue, organ system.
 Answer: Organ system > Organ > Tissue > Cell
10.How does the cell membrane protect the cell?
 Answer: The cell membrane acts as a barrier, controlling what
enters and exits the cell, thereby protecting it from harmful
substances.
11.Why do plants wilt if they are not watered regularly?
 Answer: Plants wilt when they lack water because the water
pressure in their cells decreases, causing them to lose structural
support.
12.Why are there different kinds of cells?
 Answer: Different types of cells have specialized functions to
perform within an organism, contributing to overall survival and
function.
13.When you begin to use the microscope, which objective lens should
you select first - the one with the lowest power or the one with the
highest power?
- Answer: You should select the objective lens with the lowest power first
(usually 4X or 5X) for initial focusing and to locate the specimen.
14. A red blood cell is adapted to carry oxygen in the human body.
Describe two ways a red blood cell is

adapted to carry oxygen in the human body.
Give an explanation for each adaptation.
Adaptation ____________________________________________________
Explanation____________________________________________________
Adaptation____________________________________________________
Explanation____________________________________________________
Ans. Any two adaptations and linked explanations from

1. Adaptation: large surface area or large surface area: volume ratio
Explanation: which increases the uptake of oxygen
2. Adaptation: no nucleus
Explanation: so, more space to carry oxygen
3. Adaptation: Haemoglobin
Explanation: to transport oxygen
4. Adaptation: flexible (membrane)
Explanation: so it can fit through (the smallest) blood vessels
Applying (Application):
14.Would you expect to find chloroplasts in a root cell? Explain your
answer.
 Answer: No, chloroplasts are usually found in plant cells exposed to
light, like leaf cells, for photosynthesis. Root cells are typically
underground and lack chloroplasts.
15.Why would it be a problem if root hair cell extensions were short and
stubby?
 Answer: Longer and thinner root hair extensions increase the surface
area for absorption of water and nutrients. Short and stubby
extensions would reduce this efficiency.
16.What magnification would you get by using an eyepiece of X5
magnification with an objective lens of X10 magnification?
 Answer: The total magnification would be 5 (eyepiece) × 10
(objective) = 50X.
17.This question is about cells.

Ans.
Ans. any two from
(Are packed with many) chloroplasts
(Idea that) column-shaped
large vacuole
Analyzing (Analysis):
18.Imagine that you are looking down a microscope at a slide labeled
'cells.' You can see a colored substance with dots in it and lines that
divide the substance into rectangular shapes. What are
a. the dots,
b. the lines,
c. what is the colored substance?
- Answer: The dots may represent cell nuclei, the lines could be cell
membranes, and the colored substance might be cytoplasm.
19.Why can viruses be considered (i) living things (ii) non-living things?
Answer: (i) Viruses can be considered living because they can reproduce
and evolve within host cells. (ii) They can be considered non-living
because they lack cellular structure and cannot carry out metabolic
processes outside a host cell.
Evaluating (Evaluation):
17. If the RBC had a nucleus, how would this affect the oxygen supply
to the other body cells?
- Answer: The presence of a nucleus in RBCs would reduce available
space for hemoglobin, potentially reducing oxygen-carrying capacity and
affecting oxygen supply to body cells.
Creating (Synthesis):
18. How is a palisade cell different from a root hair cell? Explain these
differences.
- Answer: A palisade cell is typically found in plant leaves and is
specialized for photosynthesis, while a root hair cell is in roots, designed
for water absorption. Palisade cells contain chloroplasts, whereas root
hair cells do not.
