QUESTION AND ANSWER BIOLOGY CELL

Define cell?
 Cell is the smallest structure and function unit of living organism.
Who was first scientist who observed piece of cork?
in 1665, Robert Hooke observed a piece of cork under microscope
Who was the founder of cell theory?
The founder of cell theory is Theodor Schwann
Who was the first scientist known that nucleus is central?
Robert brown
 Identify types of nucleus?
Eukaryote
Prokaryote
 What is cell membrane (plasma membrane)?
Cells have a limiting boundary called membrane it is made up of phospholipid bilayer embedded protein.
State the functions plasma membrane?
It provides cell shape (in animal cells)
It allows transport of certain substances into and out of the cell
What is cell wall?
 A cell wall is structural layer surrounding plant cell just outside the cell membrane
 State the functions of Cell wall?
It protects and supports the plant cell
It gives the plant cell its final shape
It is fully permeable membrane
  Define cytoplasm?
 Cytoplasm is fluid medium that is found b/w the cell membrane and the nucleus.
  Differentiate b/w mitosis and meiosis?
 mitosis results in new cells genetic material that is identical to that of the original cell. Mitosis occur in organism undergoing growth, development, repair.
meiosis (reproductive cell ) occurs during the formation gametes which haploid (n) ( cell with half number of chromosomes) meiosis reduce chromosomes number by half in new cells.
What is diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of substances from their region of high concentration to their region of lower concentration.
What is osmosis?
Osmosis is movement of water molecules from the region of high water concentration to the region of low water concentration through a semi permeable membrane.
Define active transport?
is the movement of s certain molecules is opposite that of diffusion, from region of their lower concentration towards the region of their high concentration.
Differentiate between endocytosis and exocytosis?
Endocytosis s the process of supporting substances in to the cell by a process known as pinocytosis.
exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis by which a cell enjects waste products or hormones.
