Case-Based Questions

Q29. Case Study-I:-

The cells of the permanent tissues do not generally divide further. Permanent tissues
having all cells similar in structure and function are called simple tissues. A simple tissue is
made of only one type of cells. The various simple tissues in plants are parenchyma,
collenchyma and sclerenchyma.
Parenchyma forms the major component within organs. The cells of the parenchyma are
generally isodiametric. They may be spherical, oval, round, polygonal or elongated in shape.
Their walls are thin and made up of cellulose. They may either be closely packed or have
small intercellular spaces. The parenchyma performs various functions like photosynthesis,
storage, secretion.
The collenchyma occurs in layers below the epidermis in most of the dicotyledonous plants.
It is found either as a homogeneous layer or in patches. It consists of cells which are much
thickened at the corners due to a deposition of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin.
Collenchymatous cells may be oval, spherical or polygonal and often contain chloroplasts.
These cells assimilate food when they contain chloroplasts. Intercellular spaces are absent.
They provide mechanical support to the growing parts of the plant such as young stem and
petiole of a leaf.

Q30. Case Study-II:-

In 1838, Matthias Schleiden, a German botanist, examined a large number of
plants and observed that all plants are composed of different kinds of cells which form
the tissues of the plant. At about the same time, Theodore Schwann (1839), a British
Zoologist, studied different types of animal cells and reported that cells had a thin outer
layer which is today known as the ‘plasma membrane’. He also concluded, based on his
studies on plant tissues, that the presence of cell wall is a unique character of the plant
cells. On the basis of this, Schwann proposed the hypothesis that the bodies of animals
and plants are composed of cells and products of cells.
Schleiden and Schwann together formulated the cell theory. This theory however, did
not explain as to how new cells were formed. Rudolf Virchow (1855) first explained that
cells divided and new cells are formed from pre-existing cells (Omnis cellula-e cellula).
He modified the hypothesis of Schleiden and Schwann to give the cell theory a final
shape. Cell theory as understood today is: (i) all living organisms are composed of cells
and products of cells. (ii) All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
i.) Identify the incorrect statement
Statement 1 – Theodore Schwann reported the presence of cell membrane
Statement 2 – Rudolph Virchowgive the cell theory a final shape.
Statement 3 – New cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Statement 4 – Living organisms are composed of cells and products of cells.
a.) Statement 1 and 3 are incorrect
b.) Statement 2 and 3 are incorrect
c.) Statement 4 is incorrect
d.) All statement are correct
ii.) ____________ proposed the theory, which states that the bodies of animals and plants are
composed of cells and products of cells.
a) Antony Von Leeuwenhoek
b) Matthias Schleiden (1838)
c) Rudolph Virchow (1855)
d.) Theodore Schwann (1839)
iii.) Who was the first to explain that new cells arise from pre-existing cells and gave
final shape to cell theory?
iv.) What is mean by “Omnis cellula-e cellula”?
