Robert Hooke

Eukaryotic cells

3. What are the essential components of a cell?

Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus

4. What are the organelles found only in plant cell?

Chloroplasts

5. Give any three examples of eukaryotic cell?

Plants, animals, algae

6. Which one is called as “Area of movement”?

Cytoplasm 

7. Shiva said “ Bigger onion has larger cells when compared to the cells of smaller onion”! Do you agree with his statement or not ? Explain Why?

No, I don't agree with the statement. Cell size has no relation to the size of an organism.

 

VIII. Give short answer

 

1. Why cells are called building blocks of life?

As bricks are the basic building block of a brick wall cells are the building blocks of animal or plant body. The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of every living organism. So it is called the building block of life.

2. Identify any four parts of the Plant cell.



3. Distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells


Prokaryotic cell

• Its diameter ranges from 1 to 2 micron

• Absence of membrane bound organelles

• Nucleus consisting of no nuclear membrane

• Absence of nucleoli

Eukaryotic cell

• Its diameter ranges from 10 to 100 micron

• Presence of membrane bound organelles

• True nucleus consisting of nuclear membrane

• Presence of nucleoli

4. Make sketches of animal and plant cells which you observe under microscope.



5. Write about the contribution of Robert Hooke in cell biology.

The Englishman Robert Hooke was a scientist, mathematician, and inventor. He improved microscope which was used in those days, and built a compound microscope. He placed water-lens beside the microscope to focus the light from an oil-lamp on specimens to illuminate them brightly so that he was able to see the minute parts of the objects clearly.

One day Hooke made thin sections of the cork and observed them through his microscope. He observed many small identical chambers which were hexagonal in shape. He was surprised.

After that he saw many objects like Butterfly's wings, Bee's compound eyes etc.,

Based on these observations Hooke published a book named Micrographia in the year 1665, where he first used the term cell. He described the structure of tissue using the term cell. 

 

IX. Answer in detail

 

1. Tabulate any five cell organelles and their function.


2. Draw a neat labelled diagram of a prokaryotic cell.



 

X. Project

 

1. Use your imagination and create 3-D model of a plant cell?


2. You can use numerous food materials such as a jelly and some cake to make a cell body. Cell organelles can be made using nuts and dry fruits. You can display the model in your class room and invite teachers or students from other classes to rise questions on the project and try to give answer.
