Cells and Tissues

Q1 : Write difference between Resolution and Magnification?

Q2 : Write difference between light microscope and electron microscope?

Q3 : Write postulates of cell theory?

Ans :
The postulates of cell theory are:
1. All Living organisms are made of one or more cells.
2. The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
3. The new cell is derived from pre-existing cells dividing into two by cell division.
4. The cell contains the hereditary material which is passed from generation to generation.

Q4 : Write difference between Animal cell and Plant cell?

Q5 : Write Difference between Cell wall and Cell membrane?

Q6 : Define Diffusion and Osmosis?

Ans :
Diffusion:
Diffusion is the movement of substances from a region of high concentration to low
concentration. It is therefore said to occur down a concentration gradient.

Osmosis:
Movement of water always occurs down a concentration gradient, i.e. from dilute solution to
concentrated solution.

Q7 : Write difference between Prokaryotic cell and Eukaryotic cell?

Q8 : Describe structure of a cell?
Q9 : Describe structure and funtion of different organelles of cell?
Q10 : Write difference between Mitochondria and Plastids?
Q11 : Define tissue and Describe types of plant tissues?
Ans :
Tissue :
Tissue is a group of cells which are similar in structure and function.

There are two major categories of tissues in plants.

1. Meristematic tissues
2. Permanent tissues

Meristematic Tissues:
These tissues are composed of cells, which have the ability to divide. The cells are thin walled,
have largenucleus and number of small vacuoles. Usually they do not haveinter-cellular spaces,
so the cells are arranged compactly.

Two main types of meristematic tissues are recognized in plants.

(i) Apical meristems tissues are present at the apex of roots and stems.

(ii) Lateral meristems are located on the lateral sides of roots and shoot.

Permanent Tissues :
Permanent tissues originate from
meristematic tissue. The cells of these tissues do not have the ability to divideand may have
intercellular spaces in between cells.

There are two types of permanent tissues.

1. Simple tissues
2. Complex tissues
Q 12 :Describe structure and function of animal tissues?
Q 13 : Define endocytosis and exocytosis?
Endocytosis
Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by
engulfing it with the cell membrane, and bringing it into the cell.
Exocytosis
Exocytosis describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing
their contents to the outside of the cell.
