    Chapter 8 - Cell - Structure And Functions

    Solution 1
    (a) Unicellular organisms have one-celled body. True

    Concept insight: Organisms made up of single cell are called unicellular organisms
    whereas organisms made up of more than one cell are called multicellular
    organisms.
    (b) Muscle cells are branched. True
    Concept insight: Recall different shapes of cells.
    (c) The basic living unit of an organism is an organ. False
    Concept insight: Basic unit of life is cell.
    (d) Amoeba has irregular shape. True
    Concept insight: Recall different shapes of cells.
    Solution 2

    Concept insight: Recall different types of cells.


    Solution 3
    Concept insight: List the parts of the cell.
    Solution 4
    Cytoplasm is the part of the cell that contains various cell organelles such as
    mitochondria, ribosomes, Golgi bodies, etc. Cytoplasm is a fluid that fills the cell and
    occurs between the plasma membrane and the nucleus.
    Concept insight: Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance in which all the cell organelles
    are suspended.
    Solution 5
    Animal cell Plant cell
    (i) (i)
    (ii) They are generally small in size. (ii) They are usually larger than animal cells.
    (iii) Cell wall is absent. (iii) Cell wall is present.
    (iv) Vacuoles are small in size. (iv) Vacuoles are larger in size.
    (v) No other animal cell possesses plastids except (v) Plastids are present.
    for the protozoan Euglena.

    Concept insight: List the differences between animal cell and plant cell.
    Solution 6
    Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
    (i) Most prokaryotes are unicellular. (i) Most eukaryotes are multicellular.
    (ii) The nucleus is poorly defined due to the (ii) The nucleus is well defined and is surrounde
    absence of a nuclear membrane. by a nuclear membrane.
    (iii) Nucleolus is absent (iii) Nucleolus is present.
    (iv) Cell organelles such as plastids, mitochondria, (iv) Cell organelles such as plastids, mitochond
    Golgi bodies, etc. are absent. Golgi bodies, etc. are present.
    (v) Bacteria and blue-green algae are prokaryotic (v) Fungi, plant, and animal cells are eukaryotic
    cells. cells.
    Concept insight: List the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
    Solution 7
    The nucleus contains thread-like structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes
    play an important role in the inheritance of characters. They carry genes that help in
    the transfer of characters from the parents to the offspring.
    Concept insight: Recall the structure and functions of nucleus.
    Solution 8
    A cell is the smallest unit of life and is capable of all life functions. Cells are the
    building blocks of life. This is the reason why cells are referred to as 'the basic
    structural and functional units of life'. All cells vary in their shapes, sizes, and
    activities they perform. In fact, the shape and size of the cell is related to the specific
    function it performs.
    Concept insight: Cell is the structural and functional unit of life.
    Solution 9
    Concept insight: Chloroplasts are the cell organelles in plants that contains green
    pigment called chlorophyll.
    Solution 10
