  1. 3. It occupies around 30% of the cell’s volume in a mature plant cell.
  2. 4. They are the double-membraned organelles found in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells.
  3. 6. They are found in non-photosynthetic tissues of plants. They are used for the storage of protein, lipid and starch.
  4. 7. They are found in all eukaryotic cells which are involved in distributing synthesized macromolecules.
  5. 8. It is an elongated organelle enclosed by phospholipid membrane. The chloroplast is shaped like a disc.
  6. 14. It is the semi-permeable membrane that is present within the cell wall. It is composed of a thin layer of protein and fat.
  7. 15. Are the transport cells in vascular plants. They help in the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plants.
  8. 16. They are hard or rigid cells, which play a primary role in providing support to the plants when there is restraining growth in a plant due to lack of hardening agent in primary walls.
  9. 18. The vital function of a nucleus is to store DNA or hereditary information required for cell division, metabolism and growth.
  10. 19. They are the smallest membrane-bound organelles which comprise RNA and protein.
  11. 20. Is the gel-like fluid inside the cell. It is the medium for chemical reaction. It provides a platform upon which other organelles can operate within the cell.

  1. 1. Referred to as the “traffic police” of the cell. They play a key role in sorting many of the cell's proteins and membrane constituents, and in directing them to their proper destinations.
  2. 2. Needle-shaped crystals of calcium oxalate monohydrate or calcium carbonate as aragonite.
  3. 5. They are the living cells of plants, which are involved in the production of leaves.
  4. 9. Is the most conspicuous domain in the eukaryotic cell nucleus, whose main function is ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and ribosome biogenesis.
  5. 10. They are necessary to store starch, to carry out the process of photosynthesis.
  6. 11. Is a group of crystals of calcium oxalate, silicates, or carbonates present in plants, and are thought to be a defense against herbivory due to their toxicity.
  7. 12. Are plastids or organelles responsible for the storage of starch granules.
  8. 13. It is a rigid layer which is composed of cellulose, glycoproteins, lignin, pectin and hemicellulose.
  9. 17. Are called suicidal bags as they hold digestive enzymes in an enclosed membrane.
