meaningful.

 i)The framework first when described, consists of a system of (a)bound vesicles (flattened sacs) arranged
approximately parallel to each other in stacks called (b). These membranes often have connections with the
membranes of (c) and therefore constitute another portion of a complex cellular membrane system. The
material synthesised near the ER is packaged and dispatched to various targets inside and outside the cell
through (d). Its functions include the storage, modification and packaging of products in vesicles. In some
cases, complex sugars may be made from (e) in the Golgi apparatus. The (f)is also involved in the formation
of lysosomes.
ii)If the organisation of a cell is destroyed due to some chemical influence what will happen and who is
responsible for manufacturing of lysososmes.

2. a)Draw the labelled diagram of prokaryotic bacterial cell.

b)Draw the diagram of cell structure with labelling if it lacks without wall of the cell.

3. a)Explain the reductional division with diagram.

b)Explain the process with diagram in which if we get a infection on our hand it automatically heals repairing
the whole infected hand.

4. a)Rearrange the following six sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) to make a meaningful paragraph and answer the
questions that follow.

(A) It was Robert brown in 1831 discovered nucleus in the cell.

(B)Leuwenhoek found free cells in the pond water in the history
(C)cork slice was seen with a primitive microscope
(D)It contains plastids and is internal organisation contains chloroplast and stroma,grana are embedded in it
(E)all plants and animals were composed of cells and it is the basic unit of life by schleidn

ii)what are the difference between prokaryotic and a cell having true nucleus.

5. a)Where do lipids and proteins constituting the cell membrane get synthesised.
b)What would happen to life of a cell if there is no Golgi apparatus.
