CLASS 9th- THE FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF LIFE – ANWAR ACADEMY

Parts of Cell: Cell Membrane/Plasma Membrane
Characteristics:







Thin, elastic/flexible
Living
Outermost covering
Holds the content of cell
Provides a definite shape
Water Filled Balloon
Facilitates movement of some material because it is
selectively permeable
• Composed of organic molecules (Lipids + Proteins)
• Flexibility enables the cell to engulf
• Engulf --> Food/other materials from external
environment

CLASS 9th- THE FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF LIFE – ANWAR ACADEMY

Movement Across Cell Membrane

• 1
...
"
• Rate of diffusion Gases > Liquids > Solids
• Showed by small size substances
Examples: ions/molecules, CO2, Oxygen, Water
• Due to cellular activities, CO2, production takes place
...
Osmosis
• Movement of water from higher
concentration to lower
• Cell absorbs water through osmosis
• No energy is required
• Process lasts up to equilibrium state

Plasmolysis - Shrinkage of living plant cell
due to exosmosis
...
Nucleolus



One or more in numbers
From protein forming centres – Ribosomes

B
...

During cell division, chromatin material gets
organised into chromosomes

Chromatin material

CLASS 9th- THE FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF LIFE – ANWAR ACADEMY
Chromosome
Thread like structure
Visible during cell division




Components

DNA
(Deoxyribonucleic acid)





Protein
(Histones)

DNA consist of genes
Functional segment of DNA are called genes
Genetic information is transfer from one generation to next
