Worksheet Class-Ix CHAPTER - 1, Cell A. Give Reasons, Why

1. The document is a worksheet for class 9 students on the chapter of cells. It contains questions about cell organelles and their functions, processes like diffusion, osmosis and plasmolysis. 2. The questions include identifying organelles based on their functions, multiple choice questions about cell structures and processes, and higher order thinking questions requiring analysis and application of cell concepts. 3. The higher order thinking questions require students to analyze examples like effects of salt water on cells, changes to vegetables during cooking, and effects of washing clothes to explain the concepts of osmosis, diffusion and plasmolysis.
