VII. Very short answer
1. What are the functions of cell wall in plant cell?
Cell wall provides a framework to plant cells for shape, support and stability.
2. Which organelle uses energy from sunlight to make starch?
Chloroplast uses energy from sunlight to make starch.
3. What are the main things in a nucleus?
Nuclear membrane,nucleolus, chromatin body,karyoplasm.
4. What does cell membrane do?
Cell membrane acts as the boundary of an animal cell, which is also called a plasma membrane.
5. Why lysosomes are known as scavengers of the cell?
Lysosomes are known as scavengers of the cells, because they remove the dead and non-functioning cell organelle by digesting them.
6. Teacher said “A virus is not an organism” Do you agree with this statement or not? Explain Why?
Yes, I agree with the statement.
A virus acts as a living organism in the body of a host and behaves like a non-living thing outside the body.
Organisms should have a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm and organelles. As virus do not have any of these, it is not an organism.
VIII. Give short Answer
1. Why the cell is very important for us?
No organism exists without a cell.
✱The cell is a basic structural and functional unit of life.
✱Cell is the building unit of living organisms.
✱Cells work together to perform its functions.
✱Cell is known as the basic unit of life
So, the cell is very important to us.
2. Distinguish between the following pairs
✱Smooth ER and Rough ER
✱Cell wall and cell membrane
✱Chloroplast and mitochondria
3. Write correct sequence from cell to organism?
Cell → Tissue → Organ → Organ system → Organism
4. Write a short note on nucleus.
✱Nucleus is seen in the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells.
✱It is surrounded by a nuclear envelope.
✱One or two nucleolus and the chromatin body are present inside the nucleus. ✱Storage of genetic material and transfers heredity characters from generation to generation.
Functions of Nucleus
✱In controls all the processes and chemical reactions that take place inside the cell.
✱Inheritance of character from one generation to another.
5. Classify the following terms into cells, tissues, organs and write in the tabular column given below Neuron, Lungs. Xylem, brain, adipose, Leaf, RBC, WBC, hand, muscle, heart, ovum, squamous, phloem, cartilage.
6. On the lines given below, write about what you have learned from the activities done in this lesson.
Let me tell you about some of the important things I’ve learned about cells. First, I’ll start with…____________________________________________________.
✱Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms.
✱Cells are microscopic and can be seen only under a microscope.
✱Cell walls present only in plant cells.
✱Cell membranes present in both plant and animal cells.
✱Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, which releases the energy from the food.
✱Plants have chloroplasts to produce food by photosynthesis.
✱Nucleus controls all the process inside the cell.
✱A group of different tissues makes up an organ.
✱Organs working together in groups form systems or organ systems.
✱Organ systems make up an organism, such as a human.
IX. Give long answer
1. Write about any three organelles in detail.
Golgi Complex
✱Membrane bounded sacs are stacked on top of the other with associated secretory vesicles collectively known as golgi complex.
✱Functions of golgi complex are the production of secretory substances, packaging and secretion. This is the secret behind the change in the colour and taste of fruits.
Lysosome:
✱Lysosomes are very small to view using a light microscope.
✱They are the main digestive compartments of the cell.
✱They lyse a cell, hence they are called “suicidal bag”
Centrioles:
✱They are generally found close to the nucleus and are made up of tube-like structures.
✱Centrioles or centrosomes are present only in animal cells and absent in plant cells.
✱It helps in the separation of chromosomes during cell division
2. In a situation, how to explain, while your friend asks what is this, never seen before?
✱This is a animal cell
✱Cell membrane is also called as plasma membrane
✱It is the boundary of an animal cell.
✱The cell has organelles like mitochondria, golgi apparatus, ribosomes, etc.
✱Ribosome is a minute particle consisting of RNA.It synthesizes proteins.
✱Cytoplasm includes all living parts of the cell within the cell membrane but excluding the nucleus.
✱Nucleus is the controlling centre of the cell.
✱Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
3. Compare the plant cell and the animal cell and complete the illustration given below
X. Higher order thinking question
Virus is called Acellular. Why?
✱Viruses are acellular, because they do not have a cellular structure.
✱Viruses are acellular entities that can usually only be seen with an electron microscope.
✱They lack most of the components of cells, such as organelles, ribosomes, and cytoplasm.
