ANSWER:

Ans.1. C Ans.2. D Ans.3. B Ans.4. C Ans.5. D

Ans.6. Prokaryotic cells do not have a well defined nuclear region. Genetic material
is present as nucleoid whereas eukaryotic cells have a well defined nucleus.

Ans.7.

Ans.8.

Ans.9. (i) Cellulose provides rigidity to the plant cell and helps it to withstand in
dilute medium.
(ii) Folds in mitochondria increase the surface area to help in ATP generating
reactions.
(iii) Digestive enzymes in lysosomes help in removal of viruses, worn out
organelles, damaged cell.

Ans.10. Endoplasmic reticulum is a membranous network enclosing a fluid-filled


lumen. The two types of endoplasmic reticulum are Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum (RER) and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER). RER has ribosomes
attached to its surface. The ribosomes take part in protein synthesis. SER does
not have any ribosomes on it and secretes lipids. Some proteins and lipids
synthesised in ER are used for producing new cellular parts, specially the cell
membrane, by biogenesis.

Ans.11. The chromatin material mainly consists of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)


which stores and transmit the hereditary information from one generation to
another.

Ans.12. (i) Cell wall provides shape as well as rigidity to the cell.
(ii) It protects the protoplasm.
(iii) It is involved in the movement of materials in and out of the cell.
(iv) Growth of cell wall determines the growth of cell.

Ans.13. Membrane biogenesis involves the synthesis of cell membrane with the
help of proteins and lipids. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum helps in the
manufacture of fats or lipids important for cell function and building cell
membrane.

Ans.14. Cell.
Robert Hooke.
Under a microscope. Some are big enough, can be seen with naked eye like egg.

Ans.15.
