Notes of The Cell Lesson

I. Define the following:


a. Cell:
The smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all
living organisms and the tissues of the body.
b. Microscopic organisms:
A microorganism is a living thing that is too small to be seen with
the naked eye. Examples of microorganisms include bacteria,
archaea, algae, protozoa, and microscopic animals such as the dust
mite.
II. Answer the following:
1. Give three examples of unicellular organisms.
Ans: Bacteria, Amoeba and Chlamydomonas.
2. Mentions the functions of the following:
Ans:
a. Cell Membrane:
Answer is in Page no 26 (All the four points under functions of cell
membrane)
From …The plasma membrane performs following
functions.. till…other molecules
b. Chromosomes:
Ans: Chromosomes play an important role in the inheritance of characters
from one generation to another, that is, from parents to the children.
c. Vacuole:
Ans: The functions of the vacuole are:
i. In plant cells the vacuoles are large which provide
structural support.
ii. They store food and other nutrients for the cell.
iii. They store waste products so that rest of the cell is
protected from contamination.
iv. They help increase cell size during growth.
d. Cytoplasm:
Answer is in Page no 27 (All the three points under functions of
Cytoplasm)
3. Why are the following important to a plant cell?
Ans:
a. Cell wall:
Answer is in Page no 27 (All the three points under functions of
cell wall)
b. Chloroplast:
Answer: Chloroplast contains green pigments called chlorophyll,
which helps in food manufacture for plants (photosynthesis).
c. Mitochondria:
Answer: Mitochondria performs the function of respiration and
provide the cell with energy.
d. Nucleus:
Answer: Nucleus helps in transmission of characters from one
generation to another. Controls all the life functions taking place inside
the cell.
4. Differentiate between animal and plant cell
Ans: Page no. 31 Table 3.3
5. What features are possessed by both plant cell and animal cell?
Ans: Page no. 31 (Write all the four points under common features shared
by plant and animal cells).

6. Give the structure of different cell organelles found in cell


along with proper diagrams.
Ans: Page no. 29 and 30 (Write and draw structure of 8 cell organelles).
7. Draw a neat labelled diagram of nucleus.
Ans: Page no. 27 – Fig 3.9
8. Draw a neat labelled diagrams of animal and plant cell
Ans: Page no. 26 – Fig 3.7 and fig 3.8
