BIOLOGY

WORKSHEET 1

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow: (1*5=5 Mark MCQ’s)

Plasma membrane is the outermost covering of the cell that separates the contents of the cell from

its external environment. It allows or permits the entry and exit of some materials in and out of the cell. It

also prevents movement of some other materials. The cell membrane, therefore, is called a selectively

permeable membrane. Some substances like carbon dioxide or oxygen can move across the cell membrane

by a process called diffusion. It can be defined as the spontaneous movement of a substance from a region

of high concentration to a region where its concentration is low.

Water also obeys the law of diffusion. The movement of water molecules through such a

selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. The movement of water across the plasma membrane

is also affected by the amount of substance dissolved in water. Thus, osmosis is the passage of water from

a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water

concentration.

Q.1. A plant cell placed in a hypo-tonic solution will not burst because of presence of:

(a) Plasma membrane (b) Cell wall (c) Chloroplast (d) Cytoplasm

Q.2. Cell wall of plants is mainly composed of:

(a) Chitin (b) Cellulose (c) Lipids (d) Lignin

6 | P a g e

Q.3. Amoeba acquires its food by the process of:

(a) Exocytosis (b) Endocytosis (c) Osmosis (d) Diffusion

Q.4. A cell loses water by osmosis when kept in a solution having a lower concentration of water than the

cell. The given solution is:

(a) Hypertonic (b) Hypotonic (c) Isotonic (d) None of these.

Q.5. Plasmolysis in a plant cell is defined as

(a) Break down (lysis) of plasma membrane in hypotonic medium

(b) Shrinkage of cytoplasm in hypertonic medium

(c) Shrinkage of nucleoplasm

(d) None of them

WORKSHEET 2

(2 Mark Questions)

(i) What advantages does Selective permeability of plasma membrane provide to the cell?

(ii) List any four points of differences between Prokaryotic cell & Eukaryotic cell.

(iii) Why does skin of your finger shrink when you wash clothes for a long time?

(3 Mark Question)
