Test: Cell Organelles:Structural unit of Life - Question 9

A phospholipid molecule is amphipathic and produces two layers coming in contact with H2O. The head of phospholipid molecule is

Detailed Solution for Test: Cell Organelles:Structural unit of Life - Question 9

The lipid molecules are amphipathic, i.e., they possess both polar hydrophilic (water loving) and nonpolar hydrophobic (water repelling) ends. The hydrophilic region is in the form of a head occurring at outer surface while the hydrophobic part contains two tails of fatty acids. Hydrophobic tails usually occur towards the centre of the membrane. It results in the formation of a lipid bilayer. Most common lipid in the bilayer is phospholipid.

Topic in NCERT: Cell Membrane

Line in NCERT: "The major lipids are phospholipids that are arranged in a bilayer. Also, the lipids are arranged within the membrane with the polar head towards the outer sides and the hydrophobic tails towards the inner part."

Test: Cell Organelles:Structural unit of Life - Question 10

Lysosomes are _____ vesicular structures formed by the process of packaging in the _____ . 

Detailed Solution for Test: Cell Organelles:Structural unit of Life - Question 10

Lysosomes are single membrane bound vesicles which contain hydrolytic enzymes. They are believed to be formed by the joint activity of ER and Golgi complex. Precursors of hydrolytic enzymes are synthesized at RER and are transferred to the forming face of Golgi complex. These precursors are then changed to enzymes. Enzymes are packed in larger vesicles and are pinched off at maturing face. These vesicles combine with endosomes to produce lusosomes.

Topic in NCERT: Golgi apparatus

Line in NCERT: "These are membrane bound vesicular structures formed by the process of packaging in the golgi apparatus."

Test: Cell Organelles:Structural unit of Life - Question 16

Extranuclear inheritance is due to the presence of genes(DNA) in

Detailed Solution for Test: Cell Organelles:Structural unit of Life - Question 16

 

 

  • Extranuclear inheritance refers to the transmission of genes that exist outside the cell nucleus.
  • The primary organelles involved are mitochondria and chloroplasts, both of which contain their own DNA.
  • Mitochondria are inherited maternally since sperm contribute little to the embryo's mitochondria during fertilization.
  • This type of inheritance is crucial for understanding traits that are passed down through maternal lineage.
     
  • Nuclear inheritance

    Involves passing on genetic information from parents to offspring through nuclear chromosomes. This is the type of inheritance that is usually referred to when the term "heredity" is used.

  • Extranuclear inheritance

    Also known as cytoplasmic inheritance, this involves passing on genes from outside the nucleus of a cell. These genes are usually found in organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts, or from cellular parasites like bacteria or viruses.

 

Topic in NCERT: Mitochondria and Chloroplast

Line in NCERT: Mitochondria : The matrix also possesses single circular DNA molecule, a few RNA molecules, ribosomes (70S) and the components required for the synthesis of proteins. The mitochondria divide by fission.

Chloroplast:The stroma of the chloroplast contains enzymes required for the synthesis of carbohydrates and proteins. It also contains small, doublestranded circular DNA molecules and ribosomes

Detailed Solution for Test: Cell Organelles:Structural unit of Life - Question 20

 

Topic in NCERT: Cell Wall
 - Regulation of the Cell Cycle:
- This is not a function of the cell wall. The cell cycle is regulated by various cellular mechanisms and structures within the cell, particularly involving the nucleus, cytoplasm, and specific proteins and enzymes.

- Plasmodesmata Connection:
- The cell wall and middle lamella can be traversed by plasmodesmata, which allow cytoplasmic connections between neighboring plant cells.

- Turgidity:
- The cell wall permits plants to become turgid by maintaining structural integrity when the cell takes up water.

- Mechanical Strength:
- The cell wall provides mechanical strength and support, protecting against damage and maintaining cell shape.
