FAQs on MCQ with Solution : The Fundamental Unit of Life - Class 9

1. What is the fundamental unit of life?
Ans. The fundamental unit of life is the cell. It is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism.
2. What are the types of cells?
Ans. There are two types of cells - prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are primitive and do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells are advanced and contain a nucleus.
3. What is the function of the cell membrane?
Ans. The cell membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It also provides shape and protection to the cell.
4. What is the difference between plant and animal cells?
Ans. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole, while animal cells do not have a cell wall, chloroplasts or a large central vacuole. Plant cells also have a regular shape while animal cells have an irregular shape.
5. What are the organelles present in a cell?
Ans. A cell has various organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Each organelle performs a specific function required for the survival of the cell.
