1) Both nails and hair strands are made of

dead cells. Due to this, there is no

possibility of damage to the cells, for
they are already dead. Hence, when we
cut these dead cells with scissors, there
is neither pain nor any bleeding.

4) Plastids are double-membrane
organelles which are found in the cells
of plants and algae. Plastids are
responsible for manufacturing and
storing of food. These often contain
pigments that are used in
photosynthesis and different types of
pigments that can change the colour of
the cell.

5) Pseudopodia is called the false feet as

they are actually extensions of the
cytoplasm or the thick liquid that is
inside organisms like an Amoeba. The
organism can change the shape of the
pseudopodia based on the direction of
movement and it can extend in a
flexible manner.

6) There are two types of organisms on

the basis of number of cells:
(i) Unicellular : The organisms contain
only single cell in the body are called
unicellular organisms. For example :
amoeba and paramecium.
(ii) Multicellular : The organisms made
up of more than one cells, are called
multicellular organisms. For example
: Humans and Animals.
