The fundamental unit of life

Read more about the article Consider the following statements: (𝑎) Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell. (𝑏) The proteins formed are transported by the Golgi complex to different parts according to their requirements. (𝑐) Mitochondria provide energy for the wörking of the cell. (𝑑) Lysosomes are the suicidal bags where dead and damaged organelles are destroyed. Answer the following questions based on the above information: (𝒊) What would happen if any one of the above mentioned organelles are absent in the cell? (𝒊𝒊) What values shown by the cell organelles can be related to humans? (𝒊𝒊𝒊) Give one situation in your everyday life where such values are exhibited.

(𝒊𝒊) What values shown by the cell organelles can be related to humans? (𝒊𝒊𝒊) Give one situation in your everyday life where such values are exhibited.

(𝑖) If any one of the organelles is absent, the working of the entire cell is disturbed because functions of all the organelles are interlinked. For example, if mitochondria are…

Read more about the article If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution, what will happen to each of them? Explain the reason for your answer. (a) Both the cells will swell. (b) RBC will burst easily while cells of onion peel will resist the bursting to some extent. (c) (a) and (b) both are correct. (d) RBC and onion peel cells will behave similarly.

If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution, what will happen to each of them? Explain the reason for your answer. (a) Both the cells will swell. (b) RBC will burst easily while cells of onion peel will resist the bursting to some extent. (c) (a) and (b) both are correct. (d) RBC and onion peel cells will behave similarly.

(b). When kept in a hypotonic solution, the onion cells will become turgid because the water will enter the cell due to osmosis. But the cell wall present outside the…

Read more about the article In brief state what happens when: (a) dry apricots are left for sometime in pure water and later transferred to sugar solution? (b) a red blood cell is kept in concentrated saline solution? (c) the plasma membrane of a cell breaks down? (d) rheo leaves are boiled in water first and then a drop of sugar syrup is put on it? (e) golgi apparatus is removed from the cell?

In brief state what happens when: (a) dry apricots are left for sometime in pure water and later transferred to sugar solution? (b) a red blood cell is kept in concentrated saline solution? (c) the plasma membrane of a cell breaks down? (d) rheo leaves are boiled in water first and then a drop of sugar syrup is put on it? (e) golgi apparatus is removed from the cell?

(a) The apricots swell due to osmosis initially and when transferred to sugar solution shrink again due to exosmosis. (b) RBCs shrink due to exosmosis. (c) It would lead to…
