    Answers

    1. a. Proteins
    Explanation: 'Ribosomes' are associated with the synthesis of proteins from
    amino acids. Proteins are required by a cell for functions such as repair or
    directing chemical processes.

    2. b. both (water only) and (water + inorganic substances)


    Explanation: The liquid found inside the plant cell vacuole is referred to as the
    cell sap and it is a dilute fluid consisting of water, amino acids, glucose i.e.
    (water + inorganic substances) , water may also be inhabited with negligible
    amount of salts because it somehow depends on the mineral excess inside the
    body of plants. The excess material is temporarily stored inside the cell sap.
    Thus, vacuoles act as store house in plants.

    3. d. Schleiden & Schwann


    Explanation: The 'Cell theory' was proposed by Matthias Jakob Schleiden
    and Theodor Schwann. According to this theory, all living organisms are made up of
    cells. Rudolf Virchow also contributed to the Cell theory. He proposed that new cells
    arise from pre-existing cells.

    4. a. In the centre of slide


    Explanation: In the centre of slide

    5. c. Golgi apparatus
    Explanation: Golgi bodies consist of a system of membrane-bound vesicles
    arranged in stacks parallel to each other called cisterns. These membranes have
    connections with the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Functions:
    i. It also stores, modifies and helps in the packaging of products in vesicles.
    ii. In some cases, complex sugars may be made from simple sugars in it.
    iii. It also helps in the formation of lysosomes.
    6. Nucleolus
    7. A solution having solute concentration higher than that of the cell sap is called
    hypertonic solution.
    8. A solution having solute concentration lower than that of the cell sap is called
    hypotonic solution.
    9. Plant cell walls are composed of cellulose, while fungal cells walls are composed of
    chitin. Both are long-chain starches comprised of many glucose subunits.
    10. Movement of molecules from a region of their high concentration to a region of their
    low concentration is called diffusion.
    11. Genes are the functional unit of chromosomes. Genes are composed of DNA. They are
    responsible for transmitting characteristics from one generation to another.
    12. Cell division is process of formation of new cell of its own type from the; mother cell
    which are similar in structure and function. Cell division occurs in three ways:
    1. Amitosis 2. Mitosis 3. Meiosis
    In each case division of nucleus (Karyokinesis) occurs before the division of cytoplasm
    (Cytokinesis).
    13. Prokaryotic cells example bacteria.
    14. Lysosomes are a kind of waste disposal system of the cell. Lysosomes contain
    digestive enzymes against all types of organic materials. If their covering membrane
    breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over the cell
    contents and digest the same. Therefore, lysosomes are called suicide bags as they can
    kill the cells possessing them.
