(b) We are able to sip hot tea saucer rather than from a cup.

6. Case Study: Read the given paragraph and answer the questions as per your understanding of the
related topic. (4)
Plasma membrane or Cell membrane is the outermost covering of the cell that separates the contents of the
cell from its external environment. The plasma membrane is flexible and is made up of organic molecules
called lipids and proteins. The flexibility of the cell membrane also enables the cell to engulf in food and
other materials from its external environment. Such processes are known as endocytosis. The plasma
membrane allows or permits the entry and exit of some materials in and out of the cell. It also prevents
movement of some other materials. The cell membrane, therefore, is called a selectively permeable
membrane.
(i) The undefined nuclear region of prokaryotes are also known as
(a) nucleus (b) nucleolus (c) nucleic acid (d) nucleoid.

(ii) Plasmolysis in a plant cell is defined as

(a) breakdown (lysis) of plasma membrane in hypotonic medium
(b) shrinkage of cytoplasm in hypertonic medium
(c) shrinkage of nucleoplasm
(d) none of them
(iii) Amoeba acquires its food through a process, termed
(a) exocytosis (b) endocytosis (c) plasmolysis (d) exocytosis and endocytosis both.
(iv) Select the odd one out.
(a) The movement of water across a semi- permeable membrane is affected by the amount of
substances dissolved in it.
(b) Membranes are made of organic molecules like proteins and lipids.
(c) Molecules soluble in organic solvents can easily pass through the membrane.
(d) Plasma membranes contain chitin sugar in plants.

of s 10 m. Calculate the time taken to reach the maximum height and the velocity of the stone at that
point.
(b) Derive the relation, 𝑣 2 = 𝑢2 + 2𝑎𝑠 , graphically.
