Short Answer type

Question 20
Define plasmolysis.

Answer

It is the shrinkage of cytoplasm away from cell membrane when kept in a hypertonic medium.


Question 21
Why is endocytosis found in animals only?

Answer

For endocytosis to occur, the outermost membrane should be flexible. But in plants cells, cell wall is the outermost membrane which is very rigid. Hence, no endocytosis occurs in plants.


Question 22
Differntiate between diffusion and osmosis.

Answer



Question 23
How does an Amoeba obtain its food?

Answer

In Amoeba, the food particles get surrounded by a cell membrane invagination called pseudopodia. The pseudopodia then merge with each other forming a food vacuole which is engulfed into the body of Amoeba. These vesicles are called phagosomes where the food is digested.


Question 24
What is membrane biogenesis? How is plasma membrane formed during  this process?

Answer

The process of plasma membrane formation is called membrane biogenesis. 
The proteins and lipids are first synthesized in rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, respectively. These are then transported to the Golgi complex for their modification. After modification, these are transported to the cell surface through vesicles which bud off from Golgi complex to fuse with cell membrane and form a part of the membrane.


Long Answer type

Question 25.
Describe:
(a)Membrane biogenesis and its significance
(b)Plasmolysis
(c)Plastid
(d)Centrosome
Question 26
Differentiate between
(a)Nuclear region of bacterian cell and nuclear region of animal cell
(b)Cork and epidermis
(c)Osmosis and diffusion
(d)Chromatin and chromosome
(e)Cells of meristematic tissue and cels of permanent tissue
(f)Bone and cartilage
Question 27.
(i)Draw and label the parts of a prokaryotic organism that does not have a well-defined nucleus.
(ii)Describe any three structures of the prokaryotic cell you drew in a) How do the structure differ from those in a eukaryotic cell?
Question 28.
Discuss the contribution of the following scientists to the field of biology:
(a)Robert Hooke
(b)Robert Brown
(c)Leeuwenhoek
(d) Rudolf Virchow
(e)Watson and Crick
