(b) shrinkage of cytoplasm in hypertonic medium
(c) shrinkage of nucleoplasm
(d) none of them
Soln:
Answer is (b) shrinkage of cytoplasm in hypertonic medium
Explanation:
Living plant cell loses water through osmosis resulting in shrinkage or contraction of the contents of the cell away from the cell wall. This phenomenon is known as plasmolysis. When plant cell has more water content than in the surrounding plant cell tend to transfer water to its surroundings, which results in shrinkage of the cell through plasmolysis.

(b) Vacuole
(c) Lysosome
(d) Plastid
Soln:
Answer is (c) Lysosome

(c) Mitochondria is said to be the powerhouse of the cell as ATP is generated in them.
(d) Cytoplasm is called as protoplasm
Soln:
Answer is (d) Cytoplasm is called as protoplasm
Explanation:
Cytoplasm is a part of protoplasm in the cell which surrounds the nucleus. Therefore, cytoplasm is not called protoplasm hence option d is the false sentence
10. Find out the correct sentence

(b) Rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum produce lipid and protein respectively
(c) Endoplasmic reticulum is related to the destruction of plasma membrane
(d) Nucleoid is present inside the nucleoplasm of eukaryotic nucleus
Soln:
Answer is (a) Enzymes packed in Lysosomes are made through RER (rough endoplasmic reticulum).
Explanation:
RER has ribosomes present on its surface which are responsible for the synthesis of proteins and enzymes are the proteins. Hence option a) is correct. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has no role in the production of lipid. Similarly, Endoplasmic reticulum has no role in the destruction of the plasma membrane.

Short Answer Questions

30. Why are lysosomes known as ‘suicide-bags’ of a cell?
Soln:
Lysosomes are the organelles that have digestive enzymes. When lysosomes burst, the digestive enzymes released start digesting its own cells. That is why they are known as suicidal bags.
31. Do you agree that “A cell is a building unit of an organism”? If yes, explain why?
Soln:
Yes, cells are the building unit of an organism. Cells performing similar functions join together to form tissues, which further forms organs and organ systems. This forms an organism. In a unicellular organism, a single cell performs all the life processes.
32. Why does the skin of your finger shrink when you wash clothes for a long time?
Soln:
Soap solution is hypertonic in nature which makes the water move out of the cells in your hand which results in shrinkage of fingers when you wash clothes for a long time.
33. Why is endocytosis found in animals only?
Soln:
Endocytosis is found only in animals because the cell wall is absent in animals. Due to this, the movement of substances inside the cell is easier in animals than in plants.
34. A person takes concentrated solution of salt, after sometime, he starts vomiting. What is the phenomenon responsible for such situation? Explain.
Soln:
Upon consuming salt solution Osmosis process takes place which results in dehydration. This is the reason for vomiting of the person who consumes salt solution.
35. Name any cell organelle which is non-membranous.
Soln:
The ribosome is the only non-membranous cell organelle.
36. We eat food composed of all the nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. After digestion, these are absorbed in the form of glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol etc. What mechanisms are involved in the absorption of digested food and water?
Soln:
Absorption and digestion involve diffusion and osmosis, respectively.
37. If you are provided with some vegetables to cook, you generally add salt to the vegetables during the cooking process. After adding salt, vegetables release water. What mechanism is responsible for this?
Soln:
After adding salt, vegetables release water due to the process of osmosis. The addition of salt makes the external environment hypertonic. This means that the concentration of water outside is lowered as compared to the concentration of water inside the cell. This results in the elimination of water from the vegetables due to exosmosis.
38. If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution, what among the following will take place? Explain the reason for your answer.
(a) Both the cells will swell.
(b) RBC will burst easily while cells of onion peel will resist the bursting to some extent.
(c) a and b both are correct.
(d) RBC and onion peel cells will behave similarly.
Soln:
(c) a and b both are correct.
Explanation:
When the surrounding medium is hypotonic water moves inside the cell. This leads to the swelling of cells. RBCs do not have a plasma membrane and they swell and burst easily. Plant cells have a cell wall which will prevent them from bursting.
39. Bacteria do not have chloroplast but some bacteria are photoautotrophic in nature and perform photosynthesis. Which part of the bacterial cell performs this?
Soln:
Small vesicles associated with plasma membrane are present in bacteria. These vesicles have pigment which can trap sunlight to carry photosynthesis.

Soln:
Chromatin is the thread-like structure which forms the chromosomes. A copy of duplicated chromosome which is generally joined to the other copy by a centromere is called Chromatid.

(b) A cell having low water concentration than the surrounding medium.
(c) A cell having equal water concentration to its surrounding medium.
Soln:
a) If a cell contains higher water concentration than the surrounding medium then the cell loses water and it shrinks. This process is called exosmosis. b) If a cell has low water concentration than the surrounding medium cell intakes water from the surroundings and the cell bursts. This process is called endosmosis. c) If A cell having equal water concentration to its surrounding medium then there will be no change in the cell.
