(Q.87)  Why is the plasma membrane called a selectively permeable membrane?

(Ans) The plasma membrane allows or permits the entry and exit of some materials in and out of the cell. It also prevents movement of some other materials in the cell membrane. Therefore, it is called a selectively permeable membrane.
(Q.88)  Which cell organelle is known as the kitchen of the cell? Why?

(Ans) Chloroplast is known as kitchen of the cell as photosynthesis takes place resulting in synthesis of food.

(Q.92)  Answer the following question:
i. Who gave cell theory?

a) Every living organism is made up one or many cells.
b) Cell is the structural and functional unit of all living organisms.
c) All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
(Q.96)  Why are Mitochondria known as power house of the cell?

(Ans) Mitochondria are called power house of cell because respiration takes place in them and energy is released in the form of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). The cell uses this energy to perform various functions such as mechanical work and making of new chemical compound .
(Q.97)  What are the types of plastids? Write their names and fuctions.

(Ans) Plastids are of three types -
i) Leucoplasts- Leucoplasts store starch, protein and fat.
ii) Chromoplasts- Chromoplasts provide colour to fruits and flowers.
iii) Chloroplasts- Green coloured chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis as it contains chlorophyll.
