molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, fats, nucleic acids, vitamins etc.

Ans: Protoplasm

8. Two biologists, “Schleiden and Schwann” gave the “Cell theory” which was later on expanded by -------------

Ans: “Rudolf Virchow ”.

9. ---------- are the exceptions of cell theory.

Ans: Viruses

10. --------------- cell are primitive and incomplete and have less developed nucleus without nuclear membrane and nucleolus. e.g. Bacteria

Ans. Prokaryotic cells:

2. What is the advantage of multicellularity over unicellularity?

Ans- Division of labor.

3. What are the chromosomes made up of?

Ans- DNA & proteins

4. A cell placed in a solution swells up. What kind of solution is it? Why does it happen?

Ans- It is a hypotonic sol ution & water enters the cell by endosmosis causing the cell to swell up.

5. Why are lysosomes known as “suicidal bags”?

Ans- They secrete powerful digestive enzymes to digest the worn out and damaged cell organelles as well as the cell itself when it loses its functional ability.

6.Why is the nucleus so significant in a cell?

Ans- Nucleus has the following important functions-

(i) It controls all cell activities

(ii) It contains hereditary material that transmits hereditary information from one generation to the next

(iii) It helps in cell division

7. Differentiate between plant and animal cells.

1. PLANT CELL

1- Surrounded by two membranes- cell wall & cell membrane.

2- Possess three types of plastids chloroplasts, chromoplasts, leucoplasts.

3- Do not possess lysosomes.

4- Nucleus is towards the periphery.

5- Centrioles are absent

ANIMAL CELL

1- Surrounded only by cell / plasma membrane.

2-Do not possess plastids.

3-Possess lysosomes

4 -Nucleus is in the center ..

5-Centrioles present & help in cell division.

8. Give the major functions of the following cell organelles-

(a) Endoplasmic reticulum RER-- Synthesis of proteins as it has ribosomes attached to it

SER- Synthesis of lipids required for making cell membrane

(b) Golgi apparatus-----------Storage & packaging of various products.

(d) Ribosomes ---Protein synthesis

(e) Golgi ApparatusStorage & packaging of various products.

(f) LysosomesDigestion of worn out & damaged organelles

Class 10 Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salts NCERT Activity Explanation

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get d...

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page ...

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination(Solved)

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution: Mass of the reactants = 10g ; Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g. In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition . The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g. which law of chemical combinations does this data state? Solution: in first experiment: Copper oxide = 1....
