  1. The presence of what distinguishes a plant cell from an animal cell?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Plant and animal cells have several differences and similarities. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and other eukaryotic organisms that conduct photosynthesis and other chemical reactions. Chloroplasts capture the sun’s light energy, store it in the energy storage molecules ATP and NADPH and use it in the process called photosynthesis to make organic molecules from carbon dioxide and free oxygen from water.

    Correct Option: A

  1. Which organ of the body never rests?

    Heart is the only organ in the body which never rest throughout the entire life. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood throughout the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions. It is found in all animals with a circulatory system (including all vertebrates). The vertebrate heart is principally composed of cardiac muscle and connective tissue. The average human heart, beating at 72 beats per minute, will beat approximately 2.5 billion times during an average 66 year lifespan.

  1. In which part of the eye lies the pigment that decides the colour of the eyes of a person?

    The iris is a thin, circular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupils and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. “Eye color” is the color of the iris, which in humans can be green, blue, or brown. In some cases it can be hazel (a combination of light brown, green and gold), grey, violet, or even pink. In response to the amount of light entering the eye, muscles attached to the iris expand or contract the aperture at the center of the iris, known as the pupil. The larger the pupil, the more light can enter.

  1. Hashish is obtained from a plant. From which part of the plant is it obtained ?

    Hashish, often known as “hash”, is a cannabis preparation composed of compressed and/or purified preparations of stalked resin glands, called trichomes, collected from the unfertilized buds of the cannabis plant. Hashish is made from cannabinoid-rich glandular hairs known as trichomes, as well as varying amounts of cannabis flower and leaf fragments. The flowers of a mature female plant contain the most trichomes, though trichomes are found on other parts of the plant. Certain strains of cannabis are cultivated specifically for their ability to produce large amounts of trichomes.
