Vijay Bansal answered |
Passive transport, also known as passive diffusion, is a process by which an ion or molecule passes through a cell wall via a concentration gradient, or from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It’s like moving from the train to the platform of a subway station, or stepping out of a crowded room. Basically, passive transport gives an ion or molecule “room to breathe.”

Smallest cell organelle is:
The correct answer is option 'C', which is Ribosome.
Explanation:
Ribosomes are the smallest cell organelles found in all living cells. They are responsible for protein synthesis, which is a vital process for the growth and functioning of cells. Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins.
Importance of Ribosomes:
Ribosomes play a crucial role in protein synthesis, and proteins are essential for various cellular processes. Here are some key points about the importance of ribosomes:
1. Protein Synthesis: Ribosomes are responsible for translating the genetic information stored in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. This process is called translation and occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Ribosomes help in the assembly of amino acids in the correct sequence to form a polypeptide chain, which ultimately folds into a functional protein.
2. Cellular Growth and Repair: Proteins are the building blocks of cells and are required for cell growth and repair. Ribosomes are involved in the production of new proteins, which are necessary for the synthesis of new cell components during growth and repair processes.
3. Enzyme Production: Many enzymes, which are essential for various metabolic reactions in the cell, are synthesized by ribosomes. Enzymes act as catalysts and help in speeding up biochemical reactions in the cell.
4. Antibiotic Targets: Ribosomes are the targets of many antibiotics. Antibiotics inhibit the function of ribosomes in bacterial cells, which disrupts protein synthesis and ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria.
5. Different Types of Ribosomes: Ribosomes can be found in two locations within the cell - free ribosomes in the cytoplasm and bound ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Free ribosomes synthesize proteins that are used within the cell, while bound ribosomes produce proteins that are transported outside the cell or inserted into the cell membrane.
In conclusion, ribosomes are the smallest cell organelles and are critical for protein synthesis and various cellular processes.

Rajesh Gupta answered |
The chlorophyll pigment is readily soluble in acetone. Chlorophylls possess a phytyl chain which is bound to a porphyrin ring system. The possession of the phytyl side chain, which is esterified to the carboxyl group of the ring, gives the chlorophylls their lipid character. Moreover, chlorophylls are fat-soluble compounds that can be extracted from water-containing living plant tissue by organic solvents such as acetone, methanol, or ethanol, which can take up water.

Naina Sharma answered |
A eukaryotic cell has DNA in nucleus as well as cell organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. The DNA in cell organelles resembles prokaryotic DNA. These organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) not only have DNA but also their own protein synthesis machinery. These organelles are double membrane bound and can divide through fission independent of nuclear division. Thus these cell organelles are semi-autonomous.

Anuj Singh answered |
Non-pigmented part of chloroplast is called Stroma.
Stroma is the aqueous matrix present in chloroplasts. It is the non-pigmented part of chloroplasts and fills the space between the thylakoid membranes and the inner membrane of the chloroplast. It is a gel-like fluid that contains several enzymes, DNA, ribosomes, and other soluble proteins. The stroma is enclosed by a double membrane, which separates the chloroplast from the cytoplasm.
Functions of Stromal Enzymes:
1. Calvin Cycle: The stromal enzymes play a crucial role in the carbon fixation process (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis. The enzymes present in the stroma are responsible for converting CO2 into carbohydrates.
2. Fatty Acid Synthesis: Stromal enzymes also play a role in the synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA, which is generated during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
3. Amino Acid Synthesis: The stromal enzymes are involved in the synthesis of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
4. Nitrogen Assimilation: The stromal enzymes are responsible for the assimilation of nitrogen from the atmosphere into the chloroplast.
Conclusion:
Thus, stroma is an important part of chloroplasts that contains several enzymes and other soluble proteins which are important for the functioning of the chloroplast. The stromal enzymes play a crucial role in the carbon fixation process, fatty acid synthesis, amino acid synthesis, and nitrogen assimilation. Therefore, stroma is an essential component of the photosynthetic machinery of plants.

Carbohydrates are organic compounds synthesized in the chlorophyll containing cells of some bacteria,-algae and green plant cells, during photosynthesis. Certain photoautotrophic bacteria eg. Green sulphur bacteria and purple sulphur bacteria contain pigments like chlorobium chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll respectively that helps them in photosynthesis. During photosynthesis carbon dioxide is reduced into carbohydrates by water and oxygen is liberated.

Lalit Yadav answered |
The plasma membrane or cell membrane is the outer covering of all cells but in a plant cell, it is present below the cell wall. It is mainly composed of phospholipid bilayer structure with the embedded proteins. The membrane proteins are extrinsic (on the surface of the membrane) and intrinsic (across the membrane i.e., cross the bilipid layer). About 70% of the proteins of the plasma membrane are intrinsic proteins. The intrinsic proteins, as their name implies, are firmly embedded in the phospholipid bilayer. Almost all intrinsic proteins contain special amino acid sequences.

Ajay Yadav answered |
Carbohydrates which are present in the cell membrane take part in cell recognition. Cell recognition is defined as an active process giving rise to a specific response.
Cell adhesion is a good example of cell recognition when it can be demonstrated that the adhesion is mediated by molecules having specific binding properties. Such cell adhesion molecules have now been identified in several cellular systems. Carbohydrates, or sugars, are sometimes found attached to proteins or lipids on the outside of a cell membrane. That is, they are only found on the extracellular side of a cell membrane. Together these carbohydrates form the glycocalyx. The glycocalyx of a cell has many functions. It can provide cushioning and protection for the plasma membrane, and it is also important in cell recognition. Based on the structure and types of carbohydrates in the glycocalyx, your body can recognize cells and determine if they should be there or not.

Ruchi Iyer answered |
During spermatogenesis, the Golgi apparatus is responsible for the formation of the acrosome in sperm cells. The Golgi apparatus synthesizes and packages enzymes and proteins that make up the acrosome, a specialized structure located at the tip of the sperm head. The acrosome contains enzymes that help the sperm penetrate and fertilize the egg.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
In mitochondria, the inner membrane space is filled with a matrix which contains dense granules along with ribosomes and mitochondrial DNA. The mitochondrial DNA is circular in nature. There number varies from 2-6. Besides DNA, a mitochondrion has RNA and its ribosomes also. Thus, a complete protein synthesizing machinery is present in mitochondria, which suggests the semi-autonomous nature of mitochondria. Dictyosome, lysosome and peroxisome do not have their own DNA.

In eukaryotes , there is a set of positively charged , basic proteins called history. Histones are organized to form a unit of eight molecules called Histones octamer. The negativity charged, DNA is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer to form a structure called nucleosome . Nucleosome constitute the repeating unit of a structure in nucleus called chromatin.
