Assertion -Reason type questions:
The following question consist of two statements-Assertion and Reason. Answer the
question selecting the appropriate option from the following:
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
b) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
c) A is true but R is false
d) A is false but R is true
1. Assertion: Lysosomes are known as ‘suicidal bags’ of a cell.
Reason: Lysosomes play important role in expelling excess water and some wastes from the
cell.
2. Assertion: Mitochondria and chloroplast are strange organelles.
Reason: They have their own DNA and ribosomes hence are able to make some of their
own proteins.
3. Assertion: Golgi bodies store, modify and pack products in vesicles.
Reason: They are involved in the formation of lysosomes.
Short Answer type questions:

(f) Kitchen of the cell——
(g) Control centre of the cell——
3. Name any cell organelle which is non-membranous.
4. (i) In which form does mitochondria release energy? Write its full form.
(ii) The inner membrane of mitochondria is deeply folded. What is the advantage of these
folds?
5. Write the name of different plant parts in which chromoplast, chloroplast and leucoplast
are present.
6. Explain two similarities as well as differences between mitochondria and chloroplast.
7. Differentiate between:
a) Rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum
b) Nucleus and nucleoid
