| Assertion (A): | In a plant cell, the concentration of a number of ions is significantly higher in the vacuole than in the cytoplasm. |
| Reason (R): | The tonoplast facilitates the transport of a number of ions and other materials against concentration gradients into the vacuole. |

| Assertion (A): | The Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi body, is like a post office. |
| Reason (R): | The Golgi apparatus is an important site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

| I: | The major lipids in cell membrane are phospholipids that are arranged in a bilayer. |
| II: | The ability of lipids and carbohydrates to move laterally within the membrane is measured by its fluidity. |
| III: | In addition to phospholipids, the animal cell membrane also contains cholesterol. |
| IV: | Algae have a cell wall, made of cellulose, galactans, mannans, and minerals like calcium carbonate. |
| V: | In plants other than algae, cell wall consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins and proteins |
The famous aphorism ‘omnis cellula-e-cellula’ was added to the cell theory by:

| 3. | prokaryotic. |
| 4. | capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen. |
Consider the two statements:
| Statement I: | Plant cells possess cell walls, plastids and a large central vacuole which are absent in animal cells. |
| Statement II: | Animal cells have centrioles which are absent in almost all plant cells. |
