KEY ANSWERS
I.
1. Deposition
2. Copper
3. Solid CO2
4. Pascal (Pa)
5. Specific size
II.
1. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
2. The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
3. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change a unit mass of a
solid into a liquid at its melting point without a change in temperature.
4. Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas at a given pressure.
5. Our palm feels cold when we put acetone, petrol, or perfume on it because these substances
evaporate quickly, absorbing heat from our skin, making it feel cold.
III.
1.We should wear light, loose-fitting clothes during summer because they allow air circulation
and prevent excessive heat absorption.
2. Water is in a (a) liquid state at 250C and
(b) solid state (ice) at 00C.
3. (a) 300K = 27.30C
(b) 23K = -249.33C
4.
(a) 250C = 483.15K
(b) 3730C = 6463.15K
5. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but no definite
shape, and gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.

1. What is the basic structural and functional unit of life?
2. Who discovered cells?
3. What is the cell membrane composed of?
4. Which organelle is known as the "powerhouse" of the cell?
5. What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?
III. Answer the following
1. What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
2. Describe the structure and function of the cell membrane.
3. Which organelle is known as the power house of cell? Why?
4. Differentiate between plant and animal cells.
5. Why are lysosome known as suicide bags of cell.
KEY ANSWERS
I.
1. A. Ribosome
2. C. Cellulose
3. A. Centrioles
4. D. ATP
5. A. Mitochondria and Plastid
II.
1. A cell
2. Robert Hooke
3. A phospholipid bilayer, proteins, and carbohydrates
4. Mitochondria
5. The nucleus stores genetic information and controls the cell's activities
III.
1. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while
eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
2. The cell membrane is a selectively permeable barrier composed of a phospholipid
bilayer, embedded proteins, and glycolipids. It regulates the passage of substances into
and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
3. Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouse" of the cell because they produce ATP, the
cell's primary energy source through cellular respiration.
4. Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a
large central vacuole, while animal cells lack a cell wall, have smaller vacuoles, and lack
chloroplasts.
5. Lysosomes are called "suicide bags" because they contain digestive enzymes that break
down waste materials and worn-out cell parts, essentially "killing" or digesting
unwanted components within the cell.

3. D. Lateral meristems
4. D. Sclerenchyma
5. A. Sclerenchyma
II
1. A tissue is a group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.
2. Cell walls: Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, while animal cells lack cell walls.
Locomotion: Animals are generally able to move more freely than plants, which are
mostly stationary.
3. The function of stomata is to regulate the exchange of gases between the plant and the
environment, allowing for the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen and
water vapor.
4. Vascular bundles are specialized tissues in plants that transport water, nutrients, and
organic compounds throughout the plant.
5. Components of phloem:
Sieve cells: These are specialized cells that transport food.
Companion cells: These cells are associated with sieve cells and help regulate their
function.
Phloem fibers: These provide structural support to the phloem tissue.
III:
1. Components of xylem and their functions:
Tracheids: These are long, thin cells with thick walls that transport water and minerals.
Vessel elements: These are wider cells with perforated plates that also transport water
and minerals.
Xylem parenchyma: These cells store starch and other nutrients.
Xylem fibers: These provide structural support to the xylem tissue.
2. Differences between xylem and phloem:
Function: Xylem transports water and minerals upwards, while phloem transports
organic compounds downwards.
Cell types: Xylem contains tracheids and vessel elements, while phloem contains sieve
cells and companion cells.
3. Blood is considered a connective tissue
because it connects different parts of the body, transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste
products, and plays a crucial role in immune response.
4. Function of areolar tissue:
Areolar tissue acts as a packing material, filling spaces between organs and providing
support and cushioning. It also contains white blood cells involved in immune response.
5. Diagram of a neuron:
