Short answer Questions
Q1. What is hypotonic solution?
Ans1. A solution having solute concentration lower than that of the cell SAP is called hypotonic solution.
Q2.What is isotonic solution?
Ans2. A solution having solute concentration same as that of the cell SAP is called isotonic solution.

Q7. What is the intracellular source of digestive enzyme?
Ans7. Lysosome .
Q8. What is the function of lysosome in digestion?
Ans 8. Lysosomes are cell organelles sentence essential digestive enzymes which are important which are important in breakdown of protein carbohydrates lipids etc.
Q9. What is active transport in the cell?
Ans 9. The movement of molecules across the membrane in the cells against the concentration gradient with the help of ATP unit is called active transport.
Q10. What is endocytosis ?
Ans10. Endocytosis is the ingestion of food into the cell by engulfing it with its plasma membrane.
Q11. Where are genes located?
Ans11.Genes are short regions of DNA which are mostly found on the nucleus.
Q12. Name two components which are found in plant cell but not in animal cell?
Ans12.
- Cell wall
- Chloroplast
Q13. Name two components which are found in animal cell but not in plant cell?
Ans13. Lysosomes and centrioles .
Q14. Which organelle is involved in the formation of lysosome ?
Ans14. Golgi apparatus .
Q15. What is the outermost layer found in the plant cell ?
Ans15. Cell wall.
Q16. What is the outermost layer found in the animal cell ?
Ans16. Plasma membrane.
Q17. Which organelle serves as a channel for transport of material between cytoplasm and nucleus?
Ans17.Endoplasmic reticulum(ER)
Q18. Which organelle is the storage type of solid and liquid material?
Ans18. Vacuoles.
Q19. Which organelle is associated with ribosome formation?
Ans19. Nucleolus .
Q20. What is chromosome made up of?
Ans20. Chromosome is made up of DNA and protein.
Q21. Define plasmolysis?
Ans 21. Plasmolysis is shrinkage or contraction of cytoplasm or protoplast due to loss of water when kept in hypertonic solution.
Q22. What is nucleoid ?
Ans22. The nucleoid is undefined shaped region in prokaryotic cell in prokaryotic cell which contains all or most of the genetic material.
Q23. Other than nucleus which organelles of the cell contains DNA?
Ans 23. Mitochondria and plasmids .
Q24. Name the only cell organelle found in prokaryotic cell?
Ans24. Ribosomes
Q25. Which organelle detoxify many poisons and drugs in a Cell?
Ans25. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum .
Q26. Name the cell organelle which is non membranous?
Ans26. Ribosome.
Q27. Define diffusion?
Ans27. Movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a reason of lower concentration is called diffusion.
Q28. Why is endocytosis found in animals only why is endocytosis found in animals only?
Ans28. For endocytosis The outermost membrane should be flexible like the plasma membrane of animals. But in plant cells, cell wall is outermost membrane which is very rigid. Therefore endocytosis occurs only in animals and not in plants.
Q29. Which cell organelle controls most of the activities of the cell?
Ans29. Nucleus. It is the brain of the cell which controls most of the activities of cell because it contains DNA which contains all the information of the cell .
