Ch. 5 The Fundamental Unit of Life: 1 Mark Questions

This document contains a question bank for Class IX Biology Chapter 5 on the fundamental unit of life - the cell. It includes short 1-mark questions testing concepts like parts of the cell, differences between plant and animal cells, and the size of microscopic structures. Longer 2-3 mark questions require explaining processes like osmosis, comparing cell types, and outlining the cell theory. The document also provides 5-mark questions involving explaining experimental outcomes and labeling and describing multiple parts of the cell and their functions.
