nucleoli from cytoplasm.

Q.2 Answer is “Chloroplast” Q.6 Answer is “Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic”

Your STEP Towards A Brighter Future! 6
BIOLOGY
Explanation: Prokaryotic cells (e.g.
bacteria), lack membrane bound
organelles, like mitochondria, chloroplast,
Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endoplasmic
reticulum etc; however, they contain non-
membranous organelles like ribosomes.
On the other hand, eukaryotic cells contain
all types of organelles i.e. membraneless,
single membrane bound and double
membrane bound.
Q.7 Answer is “Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic”
Explanation: Prokaryotic ribosomes are
smaller in size with 70s (rate of
sedimentation). They come into being by
fusion of two subunits i.e. a smaller
subunit with 30s and a longer subunit with
50s. On the other hand eukaryotic
ribosomes are larger in size with 80s, rate
of sedimentation. They come into being by
fusion of two subunits i.e. smaller subunit
with 40s rate of sedimentation and larger
subunit with 60s rate of sedimentation.
Q.8 Answer is “Chromosomes submerged in
cytoplasm”
Explanation: As prokaryotic cell lacks
nuclear membrane; thus, its
chromosome/DNA is directly submerged
into the cytoplasm.

Q.9 Answer is “Not sandwiched between
two protein layers”
Explanation: Modern technology,
particularly electron microscope enabled
us to improve our understanding about the
ultrastructure of plasma membrane. It has
led to the proposal of “Fluid Mosaic
Model”. According to this model protein
do not make any layer. There is a
phospholipid bilayer in which protein
molecules have been embedded in mosaic
manner. So, protein molecules never form
any layer to sandwich the phospholipid
bilayer.
Q.10 Answer is “Differentially permeable
membrane”
Explanation: As the plasma membrane
behave differentially or selectively i.e.
allowing the selective substance to cross it,
it is called as selectively or differentially
permeable membrane. In its selective or
differential behavior, it allows the larger
hydrocarbon molecules to pass through it
but stops smaller ionic or polar substances.
Q.11 Answer is “ATP”
7
BIOLOGY
Explanation: ATP (adenosine
triphosphate) is an energy currency of the
cell. Its second and third phosphate
represents the so called “high energy
bonds”.
Q.12 Answer is “Endocytosis”
Explanation: Endocytosis is a sort of
active transport in which a cell transports
molecules (food) into the cell by engulfing
them. The food is wrapped into a part of
cell membrane in the form of vacuole, then
it is ingested. If food being ingested in this
way is liquid the endocytosis will be called
as pinocytosis.
Q.13 Answer is “Nerve cells”
Explanation: Nerve impulse travels
across the cell membrane of nerve cell as a
wave of electrochemical change.
Q.14 Answer is “Cell wall”
Explanation: the outermost boundary of
a plant cell is cell wall. Cell membrane
comes next to the cell wall. However, in
animal cells, cell membrane is the
outermost boundary as there is no cell
wall.
Q.15 Answer is “Prokaryotic cell”
Your STEP Towards A Brighter Future!
Practice Book
Explanation: Prokaryotes typically have
one chromosomes. These cells can also
have smaller DNA structures called
plasmids. The number of base pairs in
prokaryotic chromosomes ranges from
160,000 to 12.2 million, depending upon
the species. Eukaryotes frequently have
multiple types of chromosomes with many
more base pairs. For example humans have
23 pairs of chromosomes, containing
about 2.9 billion base pairs in total.
Q.16 Answer is “Prokaryotic cell”
Explanation: Prokaryotes are unicellular
organisms and lack mitotic cycle.
However, in eukaryotes in ‘M’ phase of
cell cycle amount of DNA is halved which
is doubled again in ‘S’ phase of cell cycle.
Q.17 Answer is “Moneran cell”
Explanation: Moneran cells being
prokaryotic lack nuclear membrane and
DNA is directly submerged in cytoplasm
so transcription also occurs in cytoplasm.
Q.18 Answer is “Prokaryotic cells”
Explanation: As there are no plastids
(e.g. chloroplasts) so thylakoids are freely
scattered in cytoplasm of cyanobacterial
prokaryotic cells.
