Plant cells, in addition to the plasma membrane, have another rigid outer covering called the cell wall. The cell
wall lies outside the plasma membrane. The plant cell wall is mainly composed of cellulose. The nucleus has a
double-layered covering called a nuclear membrane. The nuclear membrane has pores that allow the transfer of
material from inside the nucleus to its outside, that is, to the cytoplasm. The nucleus contains chromosomes,
which are visible as rod-shaped structures only when the cell is about to divide. Chromosomes contain
information for the inheritance of characters from parents to the next generation in the form of DNA. The
nucleus plays a central role in cellular reproduction, the process by which a single cell divides and forms two
new cells.

28. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: 
The minimum temperature at which solid melts to become a liquid at the atmospheric pressure is called its
melting point. The energy supplied by heat overcomes the forces of attraction between the particles. The
particles leave their fixed positions and start moving more freely. A stage is reached when the solid melts and is
converted to a liquid. The process of melting, that is, change of solid state into a liquid state is also known as
fusion. The temperature of the system does not change after the melting point is reached, till all the ice melts.
