45. The endoplasmic reticulum is a large network of membrane-bound tubes and sheets. It
looks like long tubules or round or oblong bags (vesicles). It is discovered by Porter and
Thompson. The ER membrane is similar in structure to the plasma membrane. There are two
types of ER– rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). RER
looks rough under a microscope because it has particles called ribosomes attached to its
surface. The ribosomes, which are present in all active cells, are the sites of protein
manufacture. The manufactured proteins are then sent to various places in the cell depending
on need, using the ER. The SER helps in the manufacture of fat molecules, or lipids, important
for cell function. Some of these proteins and lipids help in building the cell membrane. This
process is known as membrane biogenesis. Some other proteins and lipids function as enzymes
and hormones. Although the ER varies greatly in appearance in different cells, it always forms a
network system.

(I) Who discovered endoplasmic reticulum?

(a) Porter and Thompson
(b) Robert Brown

(d) Koshland

(a) ER lumen
(b) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
(c) Rough endoplasmic reticulum
(d) Endosome

(IV) Enlist the types of Endoplasmic Reticulum.

46. There are three states of matter – solid, liquid and gas.
Solids have a definite shape, distinct boundaries and fixed volumes, that is, have negligible
compressibility. Solids have a tendency to maintain their shape when subjected to outside
force. Solids may break under force but it is difficult to change their shape, so they are rigid.
Liquids have no fixed shape but have a fixed volume. They take up the shape of the container in
which they are kept. Liquids flow and change shape, so they are not rigid but can be called fluid.
Gas as has indefinite shape, no fixed volume. Gas gets the shape and volume of container.
Gas has very low density hence are light. Gas can flow easily and hence are called fluid.

(I) Which of the following state of matter takes shape of container in which it is filled?
(a) Solid
(b) Liquid
(c) Gas
(d) Sand

(II) Distance between particles of matter least in

(a) Water
(b) Iron
(c) Oxygen
(d) Clay

(III) Write the common property between solid and Liquid state.

(IV) Write the two properties of Solid by using the term density, and shape.
