Match the statements in column A with those in column B: Column A Column B 1. Cells a. Outermost covering in the plant cells. 2. Nucleus b. Tiny structures inside cells. 3. Cell wall c. Units of the living body. 4. Chloroplast d. Boss of the cell. 5. Cytoplasm e. Photosynthetic units. 6. Organelles f. Jelly-like substance between the nucleus and the cell membrane.

1 - c Cells are the structural and functional units of life. All living organisms are made up of cells. Based on the cell number, organisms can be of two types: Unicellular [ Amoeba ] and multicellular [Human]. 2 - d The nucleus is a double membranous cell organelle that encloses the genetic material. It is centrally located. It consists of the nucleolus and chromosomes. It controls all the activities of the cell due to which it is also known as the boss of the cell or brain of the cell. 3 - a The cell wall is a freely permeable membrane that allows most of the molecules to pass through it. It is present in the plant, bacterial and fungal cells. It is absent in animal cells. It is made up of cellulose in plant cells. 4 - e Plant cells have specialized double membranous structures called plastids. They are of different types, out of which, the chloroplast is a green colour plastid that has a green pigment called chlorophyll. This pigment absorbs sunlight to prepare food by the process of photosynthesis using oxygen, carbon dioxide and water. 5 - f The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that is present in between the nucleus and the cell membrane. It is the site where all the cellular reactions take place. 6 - b The cell is made up of various tiny structures called cell organelles. These cell organelles perform a specific function. Mitochondria, golgi bodies, rough or smooth endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes are the types of cell organelles. Column A Column B 1. Cells c. Units of the living body. 2. Nucleus d.
