 HINTS AND SOLUTIONS
1. (C) Endoplasmic Reticulum framework for the organelles.

2. (C) Virus 14. An organism is made up of various organ systems

like digestive system, nervous system, etc. These
3. (C) Mitochondria are present in bacteria and the organ systems in turn are made up of various
red blood cells of mammals. organs which are made up of tissues. Also tissues
are a group of cells performing the same function.
4. (C) Mitochondria Hence, a cell is the building unit of an organism.
Cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism
5. (A) Both assertion and reason are true, and reason
is the correct explanation of assertion. 15. Chromoplasts are present in flowers, fruits or any
other coloured part of the plant (other than green
6. (C) DNA & Protein part).Chloroplasts are present in leaves and stem
of plant (green part).Leucoplasts are present
7. (D) Chloroplast changes to chromoplasts anywhere in plant as they are colourless and store
food.
8. (C) Robert Hooke 16. The process in which the molecules are moved uphill
against the concentration gradient. Active transport
9. (B) Plasmolysis always involves the expenditure of energy because
the materials are pumped against the concentration
10. A solution having solute concentration lower than gradient.
that of the cell sap is called hypotonic solution.
Active transport Passive transport
11. Endocytosis is the ingestion or engulfment of It involves movement of It involves movement of
food and other material by folding of the plasma molecules against the molecules along the
membrane it as seen in Amoeba. concentration gradient concentration gradient

It requires energy in the No energy is required.

12. Nucleus, also known as the brain of the cell, form ATP molecules.
controls most of the activities of the cell because
It is a rapid movement. It is a slow movement.
it contains DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) which
contains all the information of the cell. Movement of large Only small molecules or
molecules occur by active water molecules are
transport transported passively.
13. Cytosol fs the semifluid part of the cell cytoplasm
which is embedded in between cell organelles.
Cytoskeleton is a network of protein fibres
present in the cell which provides a supporting
