CHAPTER - 5

Ans1.
Plant cell
1. It has cell wall.
2. It contain chloroplast.
3. vacuole is large.
4. Nucleus is present in the side of the plant cell.
5. They do not have centriole.

Animal cell
1. They don't have a cell wall.
2. They don't contain chloroplast.
3. Vacuole is small.
4. Nucleus is present at the centre.
5. Centriole is present.

Ans2.
Prokaryotic cell
1. Generally small (1 - 10μm).
2. Nuclear region is poorly defined due to absence of a nuclear membrane known as nucleoid.
3. There is a single chromosome.
4. Membrane bound cell organelles absent.
Eukaryotic cell
1. Generally large (5 - 100μm).
2. Nuclear region well defined and surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
3. There are more than one chromosome.
4. Membrane bound cell organelles present.

Ans3.
If plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down then molecules of some substances will freely move in and out.

Ans4.
Golgi apparatus has the function of storage, modification and packaging of the products in vesicles. If there were no Golgi bodies, packaging and dispatching of materials synthesized by the cell will be stocked.

Ans5.
Mitochondria is known as powerhouse of the cell because it releases the energy required for different activities of life in the form of ATP which is known as the "energy currency of cell".

Ans6.
Lipids and proteins are synthesized in endoplasmic reticulum.

Ans7.
Through the process of endocytosis, amoeba obtain its food. Food particles are engulfed forming a food vacuole girdling it which is assisted by the pseudopodia.

Ans8.
It is the process of movement of water molecules from a region of higher water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of lower water concentration.

Wind Energy | wind generators | advantages and disadvantages of Wind Energy by - advguruji

Moving air is called wind. Wind has energy. The energy possessed by wind is due to its high speed. So we can say the wind possesses kinetic energy . It is the kinetic energy of wind which is utilized for doing work. Solar energy or sun's energy is responsible for the blowing of wind, due to the uneven heating of earth by the sun in different regions. Now let's discuss about what is a wind mill. Wind mill The energy of wind is harnessed by using a windmill. A windmill consists of big sized table fan like blades which are fixed over the top of a tall pole in such a way that they are free to rotate when the fast moving wind strikes on the blades of the windmill. It makes the blades rotate continuously. The rotatory motion of the windmill is then used to do Mechanical work through a shaft connected to the rotating blades. The traditional use of wind energy has now been modified by the improvement in technology to generate electricity through wind powered generators. Wind Generator ...

What if we can contact Aliens ? by Physics Advocate/advguruji

Before the beginning, first discuss about aliens. Aliens are those creatures which do not belong to our world. Now a question comes to your mind. Can we contact aliens? The answer is most probably NO. But why? Because first we have to find that type of planets (or natural satellites) which can support life. This is not an easy task. Also, a planet which can support life is not enough. Why? Because life can exist in various forms. One form is unicellular organisms. For example, in our solar system it is believed that Titan (Saturn's moon) can support unicellular life. But the disadvantage is we cannot contact them by our communication methods. But yes, there is a high possibility in future that a rover mission can take some samples of the unicellular or may be small multicellular organisms and send the data to Earth. Now comes the interesting part. If a planet is supporting complex life like animals, plants or even species like us (humans), then also there are very very...
