One Mark Questions

1. It is incipient nucleus of prokaryotes like bacteria and blue – green algal
cells and is without nuclear membrane.
2. Robert Hooke discovered the cell.
3. Plasma membrane, Cytoplasm, nucleus.
4. It regulates exchange of material between cytoplasm and extra – celluar
fluid.
5. Ribosome.

Answer The Following Questions

1. Chromosomes are found in nucleus of a cell. Chromosomes carry genes

and help in inheritance or transfer of characters from the parents to the
offspring.

2. Cell organelles are living structures of cytoplasm. These include:

Endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, ribosome’s,

 lysosomes, peroxisomes, plastids, sphaerosomes, glyoxysomes,
centrosome, microtubules, microfilaments, cilia and flagella.

3. Lysosome is commonly called suicidal bag of cell. It is so as it contains

hydrolytic enzymes which help in digestion of foreign food or bacteria
(by heterophony); or reserve food or certain cell organelles (by
autophagy); or the whole cell after the cell death
