First saw and described a living cell. Robert Brown was a Scottish botanist and palaeobotanist who made important
contributions nucleus and cytoplasmic streaming. Schleiden was a German botanist and co-founder of the cell theory, along
with Theodor Schwann and Rudolf Virchow. He discovered that all plants are composed of different kind of cells. Schwann

arrangement in ascending order Is Mycoplasma → Bacteria → Human RBCs → Ostrich egg.
56. Viruses do not have any living characteristic except replication but replication happens only when living cells are available
to assist them. Cell theory is not applicable for viruses.
57. Several ribosomes may attach to a single mRNA and form a chain called polyribosomes or polysome. The ribosomes of a

59. Glycocalyx differs in composition and thickness among different bacteria. It could be a loose sheath called the slime layer
which provides sticky character.

60. Glycocalyx differs in composition and thickness among different bacteria. It could be a loose sheath called the slime layer
in some, while in others it may be thick and tough, called the capsule. The cell wall determines the shape of the cell and
provides a strong structural support to prevent the bacterium from bursting or collapsing. The plasma membrane is
 selectively permeable in nature and interacts with the outside world. This membrane is similar structurally to that of the
eukaryotes.

61. Conceptual

62. Gram (+)ve and Gram (-)ve bacteria separate on the basis of their cell wall composition. Christian Gram on the basis of
staining behaviour of the cell wall with Gram's stain, grouped bacteria into Gram (+)ve and Gram (-)ve type. The bacteria
which retain blue or purple colour after staining are Gram (+)ve e.g. Bacillus subtilis and which loses blue colour is Gram
(-)ve and retain counter stain saffranine appear red eg. E.coli. In Gram (-)ve, the stain is washed due to high lipid content in
the cell wall having a thick wall, Gram (+)ve has a single-layered cell wall. Gram stain → Crystal Violet

82. Chloroplast – Thylakoid Mitochondria - The inner membrane forms a number of infoldings called the cristae SER –
Involve in lipid and steroid hormone synthesis Ribosome – Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins.

83. The main regulator of the osmotic expansion of cells maintained in water is the vacuole. It uses osmosis to regulate the
amount of water and other solutes that enter or exit a cell, maintaining the pressure inside it. The mitochondria and
chloroplast also play important roles in this process, but they are not the primary regulators. Ribosomes, on the other hand,
are mainly responsible for protein synthesis within the cell.

84. Because it present hydrolytic enzyme, they can digest cell organelles and their parts.

85. RER has ribosome on which protein synthesis occurs.

86. The space limited by the inner membrane of the chloroplast is called the stroma.

87. Selective permeable membrane is permeable to solvents and some solutes

88. Phospholipids are formed from the precursor called phosphatidic acid. A molecule of this acid consists of two non-polar
(hydrophobic) fatty acid ‘tails’ ester-linked to C1 and C2 of the glycerol backbone of a hydrophilic ‘head’ and a negatively
charged phosphate group linked to C3 of glycerol.
89. Peptidoglycan – Bacterial cell wall Cellulose and Hemicellulose – Plant cell wall Chitin – Fungal cell wall

90. Golgi bodies, also known as the Golgi apparatus or complex, are organelles in eukaryotic cells. They play a crucial role in
the packaging, processing, and distributing of molecules within the cell. The Golgi bodies receive molecules, such as
proteins and lipids, from the cell’s endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These molecules undergo modification and sorting within
the Golgi apparatus. Various enzymes in the Golgi bodies perform chemical transformations, such as adding sugar
molecules to proteins to form glycoproteins. The Golgi bodies consist of flattened membrane sacs called cisternae. Within
these cisternae, molecules are sorted and packaged into vesicles. These vesicles can then transport the molecules to their
intended destinations, both within the cell and outside of it.

91. Lamellae of chloroplast are known as thylakoids.

92. Conceptual

93.
Stroma in the chloroplasts of higher plant contains light independent reactions enzymes. Within the stroma are stacks of
thylakoids, the sub-organelles which are the site of photosynthesis.

94.
Chromoplasts are non-photosynthetic coloured plastids which synthesise and store carotenoid pigmentes. They, therefore,
appear orange red and yellow whereas amyloplast (store starch), aleuroplast (store proteins) and elaioplast (store oil
droplets and fats) are leucoplasts colourless plastids.

95. Mitochondria.

96. Golgi body is the only organelle which shows polarity. Cisternae are disc-like. Parallel-placed structures which get curved.
Curvature results in formation of concave and convex faces. Convex face is known as cis or forming face, which always
lies towards nucleous, and concave or trans or maturing face always lies towards the cell membrane.
97. Within the chloroplasts, there are stacks of disc shaped membranous structure called granum and individual disc is called

r e
thylakoid. This is a flattened structure which holds the chlorophyll within its lumen, thus, making the sire for light reaction.

Cellular orangelles that depend on each other for formation and functioning are part of the endomembrane system.

h in
Orangelles like endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi body, lysosome and vacuole are part of the endomembrane system. Protein
synthesis takes place on rough ER. The endomembrane system performs its function through the following steps: The

a c
proteins and lipids formed in the endoplasmic reticulum are 1) wrapped in a vesicle 2) drifted to Golgi 3) attach to cis-

143. Metamerism is commonly seen in the members of phylum Annelida where the body is externally and internally divided
into segments with a serial repetition of at least some organs. Water canal system is present in the members of phylum
Porifera. The body of ctenophores bears 8 external rows of ciliated comb plates which help in locomotion. Cnidoblasts or
cnidocytes are characteristic feature of cnidarians (coelentrata).

144. Sycon circulate water from surrounding through their body cavities to facilitate the cells to exchange substances. Taenia
absorb nutrients from the host directly through their body surface.

145. This is fresh water sponge (spongilla) “Y” and ‘X’ contains flagellated collar cells

146. Conceptual

147. In Cnidaria and Ctenophora, digestion is both extra- and intracellular.

148. Sponges capture food with the help of flagellated cells/collar cells/choanocytes. These cells maintain a flow of water
through the body and improves both respiratory and digestive functions, pulling in oxygen and nutrients and allowing a
rapid expulsion of CO2 and other waste products.

149. All members of animalia are multicellular, but all of them do not exhibit the same pattern of organization of cells. In
sponges, the cells are arranged as loose cell aggregates, i.e., they exhibit cellular level of organisation while, higher animals
have tissue or further organ system level of organization.

150. Tissue level of organization is absent in Porifera.

∴ the correct order is N < Na < F < Cl
154. First ionization energy of P is greater than S because P has half-filled electronic configuration and it is difficult to remove
an electron from stable species. Also, the first ionization potential of Mg will be higher because the valence orbital of Mg is
full filled while, Na has only one electron in its valence orbital which is easy to remove.

155. In case of transition elements, the order of filling of electrons in the various orbitals is 3p < 4s < 3d Therefore, 3d orbital
is filled after 4s.

Electron gain enthalpy of Rb+ is inverse of ionisation enthalpy of Rb.
Hence, electron gain enthalpy of Rb is −4.1 eV.

160. Ionisation enthalpy increases along a period because effective nuclear charge increases and atomic size decreasesThus both
statements I and II are true
161. Zr and Hf have similar atomic sizes and properties.

166. ∙ O2− and F− are isoelectronic species having 10 electrons each. ∙ Effective nuclear charge on F− is more hence F− is

The nuclear charge increases across a period. Hence, both the assertion and reason are false. The ionisation energy of N is

173. The size of anion is greater than its neutral atom.

177. Inert gases have zero electron affinity.

178. Removal of electron from orbitals bearing lower value of n is difficult than from the orbital having higher value of n.

179. Second electron gain enthalpy is an endothermic process as the second electron is added to a negatively charged particle.
Energy is needed to overcome force of repulsion.

181. (1) Species having same number of electrons but different nuclear charge are called isoelectronic species. Ar,K+ ,Ca++
have same number of electrons i.e. 18 but 18, 19 & 20 number of protons respectively. (2) np3 , (n − 1)d5 and (n − 2)f7
represent half filled orbitals. Antimony has ([Kr]38 4d10 5s2 5p3 ). (3) The energy required to remove an electron from an
 univalent cation(g) is called second ionisation energy. (4) 4f and 5f- series elements are called inner transition elements
because they have three outer most shells incomplete.

182. Negative electron gain enthalpy of F is less than Cl. This is due to the fact that when an electron is added to F , the added
electron goes to the smaller n = 2 energy level and experiences significant repulsion from the other electrons present in
this level. In Cl, the electron goes to the larger n = 3 energy level and consequently occupies a larger region of space
leading to much less electron-electron repulsion.

183. Na+ = 1s2 2s2 2p6

Both of ions have equal (10) number of electrons
Mg+2 = 1s2 2s2 2p6

184. In a period as we move from left to right number of shells remain the same but the nuclear charge increases due to which
the outermost shell is now pulled with greater force towards the centre, thereby reducing the size of the atom considerably.

185. If an atom has exactly half-filled or completely filled orbitals, then such an arrangement has extra stability. The removal of
an electron from such an atom requires more energy then expected. The inert gas has completely filled orbitals. Hence they
have highest 1st ionisation energy in their corresponding periods

186. The size of the anion is larger than the parent atom while the size of cation is smaller than that of parent atom.
187. According to the long form of the periodic table elements having similar electronic configurations of outer shell in their
atoms are arranged in vertical columns, referred to as groups or families.

188. Ne has a filled valence shell and all of its orbitals are filled. As a result, it avoids losing or gaining electrons. As a result, It
has the lowest electron affinity among all the given elements.
189. As we move down in a group, radii increases but Zr and Hf have almost same radius due to poor shielding of f-electrons in
Hf.

Moseley gave the modern periodic law. He showed that atomic number is more fundamental property of an element than its
atomic mass. He found that the square root of the frequency of a line (of a X-Ray spectrum) is related to the atomic number
(Z) of target material; as √v = a(Z − b)

192. Atomic radius of F is expressed in terms of covalent radius while atomic radius of neon is usually expressed in terms of
van der Waals' radius. van der Waals' radius of an element is always larger than the covalent radius. Therefore, atomic
radius of F is smaller than atomic radius of Ne(F = 72pm, Ne = 160pm).

193. (n − 1)d 2 ns2 for n = 4 n = 4 means the element belongs to fourth period. Since, last electron enters in d-orbital, the
given element belongs to d-block. For d-block elements, group number = number of d-electrons + number of n s electrons
= 2 + 2 = 4. Hence, the element belongs to 4 th group. The complete electronic configuration of the element is as follows,
1s2 , 2s2 , 2p6 , 3s2 , 3p6 , 3d 2 , 4s2 Thus, the element is titanium.

194. r1 is covalent radius. It is half of the distance between two similar atoms joined by a covalent bond in the same molecule.
r2 is the van der Waals' radius. It represents the overall size of the atom which includes its valence shell in a non-bonded
situation.

195. The configuration ns2 np4 for n = 3 means element belongs to third period. Since, last electron enters in the p-orbital, it
belongs to p-block. For p-block elements, the group number = 10+ valence shell electrons = 10 + (2 + 4) = 16 Hence,
the element belongs to 16th group.
196. Statement (3) is incorrect. It's correct form is as follows : An electron is added to neutral gaseous atom to convert it into
negative ion. Rest other statements are correct.

197. First Δi H value for Al will be more close to 575 kJ mol−1 . The value for Al should be lower than that of Mg because of
effective shielding of 3p-electrons from the nucleus by 3s-electrons.
198. In boron (B), the electron is removed from p-orbital. The 2p-electrons of boron is more shielded from the nucleus by inner
core of electrons than the 2s-electrons. Therefore, it is easier to remove the 2p-electrons from boron compared to the
removal of a 2s-electron from beryllium. Also, removal of one 2p-electron from boron leads to a comparatively stable
configuration of 2s2 , where the two electrons are paired. Hence, the first ionisation energy of boron (B) is lower than both
Be and C .
199. I.E. of noble gases are maximum, whereas that of alkali metal is least. I.E. of alkaline earth metal is higher than alkali
metal but lower than subsequent elements, thus X is an alkali metal, Y is a noble gas and Z is an alkaline earth metal.

200. Size of an atom decreases when an electron is removed from it due to increased nucleus charge. While, size of an atom
increases with addition of an extra electron (formation of anion) due to increased repulsion among electrons.
