CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS

The term ‘cell’ is derived from Latin word cellula, meaning ‘little room or chamber ’. The term cell was coined
by Robert Hooke in 1665 . He observed cells as “Honey comb” Like Structure .

In 1674, Anton Van Leeu-wenhoek observed free living cells in pond water.

Protoplasm : The living material comprising cytoplasm, nucleus and other organelles is called protoplasm.
Protoplasm is surround by a cell membrane . Mainly made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen etc along with
small quantities of calcium ,phosphorus and sulphur making vital components like water etc

A cell can be divided into :

1] cell membrane

2] Cytoplasm

3] Nucleus

 Cell Wall : It is thick rigid layer present outside the cell membrane of the plant cell absent in animal cell. It
is non-living.made up of cellulose and proteins etc. Cell was is permeable
1. Functions : It provides mechanicals Strength
2. It controls shape and size of cell .

 Cell membrane
Cell membrane is a covering of cell it is flexible elastic and made up of lipids and proteins and it is
selectively permeable . It is also known as plasma membrane.
Functions:

1. It regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the cell

2. It gives shape to the cell
3. It provides protection to the cell
 Cytoplasm : It is a jelly like substance present between cell membranes and nucleus various other living
organism such as organalles are present here .
 Nucleus: Dodge it is an important component of the living cell it is the brain of the cell located in centre of the
cell discovered by an English biologist Robert Brown in 1831.
 Structure of nucleus

animal cells which aid mitosis.they are made up of Centrioles tha are made up of 9 triplets of
microtubule .

Chloroplast Chloroplasts are plant cell components that are green in colour. Photosynthesis
aids in the processing of food in the presence of sunlight. They are a type of
plastids found in plant cell.

Chromoplast There are plant cell organelles that come in a number of colours and are present
in various cells. They include xanthophyll and carotene, which contribute to the
colour of the flowers and fruits.

.

Endoplasmic The endoplasmic reticulum is Occurs in three form cisternae , vesicles and
Reticulum tubules nucleus that help support both plant and animal cells. Smooth reticulum
without attached ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum with attached
ribosomes are the two forms of endoplasmic reticulum.

placed one on top of the other. Hormones and enzymes that aid in cell transport
are secreted and stored by them. Composed of cisternae stacked together in a
parallel row

Leukoplasts These are colourless plastid organelles found in plant cells that aid in the
preservation of starch.

Lysosome A membranous sac is a component of an animal cell. It is a component of the

golgi apparatus, which houses a variety of enzymes. It aids in intracellular
digestion and foreign material clearance. They’re also known as ‘suicide sacs,’
and if one of them explodes, the whole cell will die.

Mitochondria The inner membrane of the mitochondria is bent to form cristae, and the outer
membrane is flat. It is the cell’s powerhouse, where cellular respiration
generates ATP. They are oval shaped organelle

Nuclear The nuclear membrane is the nucleus’s outermost layer. It has a lot of pores
Membrane that help with material transport.

Nucleolus The nucleolus stores the RNA and sends the RNS along with the blueprints for
the protein to be synthesised to ribosomes.

Nucleoplasm Nucleoplasm is the thick fluid that comprises DNA-based chromatin fibres.
Chromosomes are chromatin fibres that undergo structural changes during cell
division. This chromosome is where genes’ genetic information is stored.

Chemical properties of metals and non metals:-

 Reaction with oxygen:-

 Metals react with oxygen to form metallic oxides. Metalic oxide is basic in Nature.
 These oxides are  basic oxides because they react with water to form bases. Sodium and potassium
react readily with oxygen and catch fire while reacting. They are kept immersed in kerosene.Sodium
reacts vigorously with oxygen present in air to form sodium oxide.
 Eg. Magnesium burns in air to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium  reacts with water to form

magnesium hydroxide.

Metal + Oxygen- →Metal oxide.

 Non metals react with oxygen to form non metallic oxides. These  oxides are acidic oxides because

they react with water to form  acids.

 b) Reaction with water:-

 Metals react with water to form metal hydroxides and hydrogen.

Metal + Water → Metal hydroxide + Hydrogen

 Sodium reacts vigorously with water at room temperature to form sodium hydroxide with release
of hydrogen gas.
 Magnesium reacts with water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen.

 RUSTING OF IRON FORMULA : The interaction of Iron with air and water produces rust. The Oxygen

present in the air form a powdered substance called rust.

 Corrosion of silver: Silver items lose their lustre with time. This is called tarnishing

Non metals do not react with water. Phosphorus is a very reactive non-metal but it does not react in water
and thus,It is stored in water.

 c) REACTION WITH ACIDS:-

 Metals react with acids to form metallic salts and hydrogen.

 . Zinc reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride  and hydrogen.

Metal + Acid → Metal salt + Hydrogen

 Most non metals do not react with acids. Reaction of non-metals with acids: Non-metals generally do not
react with acids
 Some non metals like sulphur reacts with concentrated nitric acid to forn sulphur dioxide, nitrogen

dioxide and water.

 Reaction of metals with bases: Most metals do not react with bases. Aluminium and zinc react

with strong bases such as sodium hydroxide to form a salt and release hydrogen gas .

 Reaction of non-metals with bases: Non-metals react with bases to form complex reactions.

 Activity series of metals :- The arranging of metals in the decreasing order of their reactivity is called
activity series of metals.

 Displacement Reaction

 When one element replaces or displaces another element in a compound, the reaction is said to be a

replacement reaction or a displacement reaction'. A displacement reaction is one in which a more

reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal.

FORCE AND PRESSUR

 FORCE : A push or a pull on an object is known as force. we can say that force is used when we push or
pull. SI unit is Newton .  1 newton = 105 dyne.
 FORCE can be calculated by F= M x A , Force = Mass x acceleration

Force has a few characteristic.

 Force require interaction between objects
 Force has direction
 The forces are balanced-their effects cancel each other out and they do not cause change in an object's
motion. Thus, with balanced forces, the net or resultant force is zero
 . When two forces push in opposite directions, the object moves in the direction in which the greater force
is applied . In this case, the two forces are not equal and are called unbalanced forces.
 When the combined forces are in the same direction, the net force equals the combined forces added
together .
 Therefore, if there is more than one force acting on an object, the forces can be added up if they act in the
same direction , or subtracted if they act in opposite directions .

(The net force is defined as is the sum of all the forces acting on an object)

 The magnitude of the force is the number that represents the strength of the force. Magnitude is the
'value' or 'amount' of any physical quantity. Ex force = 10 n toward west so 10 is magnitude of force

Effects of force

 Force can change the state of motion of an object.

 Force can change the shape of an object
 Force change state of motion of an object
 If an object is moving, it is in a state of motion. If an object is not moving, it is in a state of rest, that is, in zero
state of motion. The state of rest is considered to be the state of zero speed.
 Force Make a stationary object move
 Force Change the speed of a moving object
 Force Change the direction of moving object
 Force change shape of an object

Types of force
 Contact force : Forces which are exerted when two objects are in actual (physical) contact with each other are
said to be contact forces. Such as Muscular force and frictional force.

 Muscular force: We exert force to do most things, be it exercising, riding a bicycle etc. The force exerted by
our muscles to push or pull an object is called muscular force. Muscular force is also seen when we chew food,
when we breathe and when the heart beats.
 Frictional Force : The force that slowed down the ball is known as frictional force or friction. Friction is a force
that opposes motion. Friction occurs between the two surfaces that are in contact, that is, the ground and the
ball. Thus, frictional force or friction is the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces that are in contact.
The amount of friction depends on the surfaces involved. Rough surfaces have more friction than smooth
surfaces. Example when you apply brakes to cycle ..

 Non - contact force : Forces which are exerted when two objects are not in actual (physical) contact with
each other are said to be non-contact forces. Gravitational force, electrostatic force and magnetic force
are examples of non-contact forces.
  Gravitational force or gravity : The force with which an object pulls other objects towards itself is called
the gravitational force or gravity. This kind of force is a force of attraction. The force of gravity acts on all
objects all the time without us being aware of it. Gravity is not a property of the Earth alone as every
object in the universe, whether small or large, exerts gravitational force on every other object. It is the
force that holds the Earth, the Sun and the stars together and keeps the planets in their orbits.

 Electrostatic force: If you rub a balloon against your hair 20 or 30 times and then hold the balloon a few
inches away from your head, you will find your hair 'standing towards the balloon (Fig. 11.12). This
happens because rubbing the balloon gives it an electric charge (a small amount of electricity) that attracts
your hair to the balloon. The force that attracts a charged object to another object is called the
electrostatic force.

 Magnetic Force : The force that attracts a magnetic substance to a magnet is called the magnetic force. A
magnet can exert a force on another magnet without being in contact with it. Like poles (North-North or
South-South) of two magnets Repel each other and unlike poles (North-South) attract each other. The
closer a magnet is to the object or another magnet, the stronger the force

 Nuclear Force A nuclear force is a force that exists only if the interacting particles are protons or neutrons
or both. It is different from gravitational and electromagnetic forces.

 Pressure

 The effect of force on a surface depends on the area over which the force is spread. The effect that force
produces on a surface is called pressure.
 Pressure is a measure of the amount of force acting on a given amount of surface area. Pressure is defined as
the force per unit area acting on a surface. Pressure allows metal boats to float, airplanes to fly, straws to suck
water and balloons to hold their shape.
 P= Force/ Area

 From the above, we can conclude the following.

 The smaller the area, the greater is the pressure.
 The greater the force on a particular area, the greater is the pressure

 The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa) and it is named after the French mathematician and physicist, Blaise
Pascal. 1 Pa is a pressure of 1 newton per square metre, written as 1 N/m².

 When the area is lesser (2 m²), the pressure is greater (5 Pa). When the area is greater (4 m²), the pressure is
lesser (2.5 Pa).

Some applications of pressure

 Snowshoes spread the force of our weight over a larger surface area. Less pressure is applied to the snow, so
we are less likely to sink through the surface.
.
Pressure increases if surface area decreases application

 Knives are created with sharp edges. A sharp knife cuts better than a blunt knife. This is because the sharp
blade has a smaller surface area that exerts more pressure when used.
 Atmospheric Pressure
 The pressure exerted by the air around us is called atmospheric pressure. This pressure is a result of
the weight of gases in the earth atmosphere around us. This air pressure is equal to the pressure
inside our bodies that is why we are not crushed by the air pressure Atmospheric pressure is defined as
the pressure exerted on an object by the weight of the air above it .
 Air pressure is commonly measured using a mercury barometer. A mercury barometer contains a column filled
with mercury, and the higher the air pressure is, the higher the column of mercury will be. These days, a
digital barometer is most commonly used. Meteorologists use barometers to measure the pressure of the air
when making weather forecasts and studying weather patterns.
 Areas with low pressure are generally associated with bad weather. Areas with high pressure, on the other
hand, are typically associated with good weather..

 Application of Atmospheric pressure:

 Vacuum cleaner. vacuum cleaner applies the principle of atmospheric pressure to remove dust
particles. ...
 Lift Pump. A lift pump is used to pump water out of a well or to a higher level.

Liquid Pressure
 The pressure exerted by Liquids and Gases. Both liquids and gases exert pressure on the inner walls
of the container they are kept in.
 Liquids such as water exert pressure on objects immersed in them.
 When an object is immersed in a liquid, the liquid exerts an upward force on the object.
 If the weight of the object is less than the upward force of the liquid, the object will float.
 If the weight of the object is more than the upward force of the liquid, the object will sink.

 Properties of liquid pressure

1. Water exerts pressure on the walls of the container that holds it. Liquid pressure increases with depth.
2. At the same depth, liquids such as water exert equal pressure on all sides.
3. .The pressure of a fluid depends on the height of the column of water above the place where you measure the
pressure.

 Some facts about force and pressure :

 A force is not something that an object contains or 'has in it'. A force is exerted on one object by another. All
objects, living as well as non-living, can apply a force on another object as well as be affected by force.
 Spring Balance or Newton's Balance : Newton's balance is a device used to measure the force acting on an
object. It consists of a coiled spring, a graduated scale and a pointer to slide over the graduated scale. When a
force is applied, the spring gets stretched. The stretching of the spring is measured by the pointer sliding over
the graduated scale. The reading on the scale gives the magnitude of the force.
 Although forces cannot be seen directly, their effects can be observed and measured. The SI unit of
measurement of force is the newton, symbolised by the letter N and named in honour of the English physicist
Isaac Newton. Much of what is known today about force is based on Newton's laws of motion.
 Liquids and gases are called fluids as they can flow. They do not have a definite shape. Fluids can push objects
with force.
 A low-pressure area is forming over the Arabian Sea, which may intensify into a cyclone and hit coastal
Gujarat over the next 10 days, according to weather forecasters.
 Maglev train works due to repulsion between magnets on track .
 The instrument used to measure liquid pressure is liquid guage .
 Simplest form of pressure guage is manometre
