Assertion-Reason
1. Assertion (A): Robert Hooke used a self-designed microscope.
Reason (R): He observed living cells in pond water.
2. Assertion (A): The discovery of cells led to the formation of cell theory.
Reason (R): Cell theory was proposed by Schleiden and Schwann.
3. Assertion (A): Plasma membrane is selectively permeable.
Reason (R): It allows some substances to pass through while blocking others.
4. Assertion (A): Cell wall is present in animal cells.
Reason (R): It provides rigidity to cells.
5. Assertion (A): Cytoplasm contains all the organelles.
Reason (R): It is a fluid found inside the nucleus.
6. Assertion (A): Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles.
Reason (R): They contain many Golgi bodies and mitochondria.
7. Assertion (A): Nucleus contains DNA.
Reason (R): DNA controls heredity and cell functions.
8. Assertion (A): RER looks rough due to ribosomes.
Reason (R): Ribosomes help in protein synthesis.
9. Assertion (A): Lysosomes are called suicide bags.
Reason (R): They digest the cell when they burst.
10. Assertion (A): Mitochondria are called powerhouses of the cell.
Reason (R): They produce energy in the form of ATP.
11. Assertion (A): Plastids are present in animal cells.
Reason (R): They help in protein synthesis.
12. Assertion (A): Vacuoles provide rigidity and turgidity to plant cells.
Reason (R): They contain cell sap with water and dissolved substances.
13. Assertion (A): Plant cells have large central vacuoles.
Reason (R): These vacuoles maintain internal pressure.
14. Assertion (A): Animal cells have cell walls.
Reason (R): Cell walls allow photosynthesis in animal cells.
15. Assertion (A): Mitosis helps in tissue repair.
Reason (R): Mitosis produces genetically identical cells.
