Chapter 5: Fundamental Unit of Life Practice Worksheet: (B) Golgi Apparatus (C) Cell Wall (D) Cytoplasm (E) Nucleoplasm

This document provides a practice worksheet on the fundamental unit of life - the cell. It includes questions that illustrate the differences between plant and animal cells, describe processes like endosmosis and exosmosis, label parts of the plant cell, and differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Multiple choice and matching questions assess understanding of organelles like chloroplasts, chromatin, and lysosomes. Short answer questions explain the role of leucoplasts, chromoplasts, and how concentrated salt solutions can cause vomiting.

Chapter 5: Fundamental Unit of Life

Practice worksheet
Q.1 Answer the following question:
1. Illustrate only a plant cell as seen under electron microscope. How is it different from animal
cell?
Ans:

2. In brief state what happens when


(a) Dry apricots are left for some time in pure water and later transferred to sugar solution?
Ans. First it swells due to endosmosis and then exosmosis occurs and it shrinks.
(b) A Red Blood Cell is kept in concentrated saline solution?
Ans. It will lose water and shrink.
(c) the Plasma-membrane of a cell breaks down?
Ans. The cell will die.
(d) Rheo leaves are boiled in water first and then a drop of sugar syrup is put on it?
Ans. The cell gets killed on boiling so no plasmolysis.
(e) Golgi apparatus is removed from the cell?
Ans. All sorts of vesicle formation stop.
3. Draw a plant cell and label the parts which
(a) determines the function and development of the cell
(b) packages materials coming from the endoplasmic reticulum
(c) provides resistance to microbes to withstand hypotonic external media without bursting
(d) is site for many biochemical reactions necessary to sustain life.
(e) is a fluid contained inside the nucleus
Ans. (a) Nucleus
(b) Golgi apparatus
(c) Cell wall
(d) Cytoplasm
(e) Nucleoplasm.
4. State the difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells.
Ans.

Q.2 Short answers:-


1. Which kind of plastid is more common in
(a) roots of the plant
Ans. Leucoplast
(b) leaves of the plant
Ans. Chloroplast
(c) flowers and fruits
Ans. Chromoplast
2. How are chromatin, chromatid and chromosomes related to each other?
Ans. Chromosomes are made up of chromatids and chromatids are made up of chromatin.
3. Why are lysosomes known as ‘suicide-bags’ of a cell?
Ans. Lysosomes are known as ‘suicide-bags’ because when cell gets damaged during the
disturbance in cellular metabolism, lysosomes may burst and the digestive enzymes thus
released digest their own cell.
4. A person takes concentrated solution of salt, after sometime, he starts vomiting. What is the
phenomenon responsible for such situation? Explain.
Ans. Swallowing a concentration solution of salt results in exosmosis from cells of the
alimentary canal. Due to this, dehydration occurs in the person. As a result, the person
starts vomiting.
Q. 3 Match the following A and B

Ans. a—(iv); b—(v); c—(iii); d—(i); e—(ii).


Q.4 Name the organelles which show the analogy written as under
(a) Transporting channels of the cell __________
Ans. Endoplasmic reticulum
(b) Power house of the cell __________
Ans. Mitochondria
(c) Packaging and dispatching unit of the cell __________
Ans. Golgi body
(d) Digestive bag of the cell __________
Ans. Lysosome
(e) Storage sacs of the cell __________
Ans. Vacuole
(f) Kitchen of the cell __________
Ans. Chloroplast
(g) Control room of the cell __________
Ans. Nucleus
