Find out the false sentences from the following:
$I$. Golgi apparatus is involved with the formation of lysosomes.
$II$. Nucleus,mitochondria and plastid have $DNA$; hence they are able to make their own structural proteins.
$III$. Mitochondria is said to be the power house of the cell as $ATP$ is generated in them.
$IV$. Cytoplasm is called as protoplasm.
A
$I$ and $IV$
B
$II$ and $III$
C
$I$ and $II$
D
$II$ and $IV$

Solution

(D) Statement $I$ is true because lysosomes are formed by the budding of vesicles from the Golgi apparatus.
Statement $II$ is false because although the nucleus,mitochondria,and plastids contain $DNA$,they do not synthesize all their own structural proteins. The nucleus directs protein synthesis,but the actual synthesis occurs on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Mitochondria and plastids are semi-autonomous and synthesize only some of their proteins.
Statement $III$ is true because mitochondria generate energy in the form of $ATP$,earning them the title of the cell's powerhouse.
Statement $IV$ is false because protoplasm is the living content of the cell,which includes both the cytoplasm and the nucleus,not just the cytoplasm.
Therefore,statements $II$ and $IV$ are false.

If cells of onion peel and $RBC$ are separately kept in a 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.
$(c)$ Both $(a)$ and $(b)$ are correct.
$(d)$ $RBC$ and onion peel cells will behave similarly.

Solution

(C) Both $(a)$ and $(b)$ are correct. When the surrounding medium is hypotonic,water moves into the cells due to osmosis. This results in the swelling of the cells. $RBCs$ (Red Blood Cells) lack a cell wall,making them susceptible to bursting under osmotic pressure. In contrast,the presence of a rigid cell wall in onion peel cells provides structural support,preventing them from bursting.

Match the following Column $A$ and Column $B$:
Column $A$Column $B$
$(a)$ Smooth endoplasmic reticulum$(i)$ Amoeba
$(b)$ Lysosome$(ii)$ Nucleus
$(c)$ Nucleoid$(iii)$ Bacteria
$(d)$ Food vacuoles$(iv)$ Detoxification
$(e)$ Chromatin material and nucleolus$(v)$ Suicidal bag
A
$a-(v), b-(iv), c-(ii), d-(i), e-(iii)$
B
$a-(iv), b-(v), c-(ii), d-(i), e-(iii)$
C
$a-(iv), b-(v), c-(iii), d-(i), e-(ii)$
D
$a-(v), b-(iv), c-(i), d-(iii), e-(ii)$

Solution

(C) The correct matches are as follows:
$(a)$ Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the detoxification of many poisons and drugs in liver cells,so $(a)-(iv)$.
$(b)$ Lysosomes are known as the suicidal bags of the cell because they contain powerful digestive enzymes,so $(b)-(v)$.
$(c)$ Nucleoid is the undefined nuclear region containing only nucleic acids found in prokaryotic organisms like bacteria,so $(c)-(iii)$.
$(d)$ Food vacuoles are temporary structures formed in organisms like Amoeba to digest food particles,so $(d)-(i)$.
$(e)$ Chromatin material and nucleolus are the components found inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell,so $(e)-(ii)$.
Therefore,the correct sequence is $a-(iv), b-(v), c-(iii), d-(i), e-(ii)$.

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 structural strength to the cell to withstand hypotonic external media without bursting
$(d)$ is the site for many biochemical reactions necessary to sustain life
$(e)$ is a fluid contained inside the nucleus

Solution

(N/A) Nucleus: It controls all cellular activities and development.
$(b)$ Golgi apparatus: It is responsible for packaging and dispatching materials synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum.
$(c)$ Cell wall: It provides structural support and protection,allowing the cell to withstand hypotonic environments without bursting.
$(d)$ Cytoplasm: It is the jelly-like substance where many essential biochemical reactions occur.
$(e)$ Nucleoplasm: It is the fluid matrix present inside the nucleus.

Illustrate a plant cell as seen under an electron microscope. How is it different from an animal cell?
Question diagram

Solution

(N/A) plant cell is characterized by the presence of a rigid cell wall,large central vacuole,and plastids. The differences between a plant cell and an animal cell are summarized in the table below:
FeatureAnimal Cell vs Plant Cell
$1.$ Cell wallAbsent in animal cells; Present in plant cells.
$2.$ PlastidsAbsent in animal cells; Present in plant cells.
$3.$ VacuolesSmall or absent in animal cells; Large central vacuole present in plant cells.
$4.$ CentriolesPresent in animal cells; Absent in plant cells.
