    TUTORIAL 6
    CELL BIOLOGY AND BASIC HISTOLOGY I

    [Source: Final Assessment for Apr 2021]


    Q1. (a) Figure 1 shows a plant cell as seen under microscope M.

    Electron microscope

    Figure 1

    (i) State TWO (2) advantages and TWO (2) disadvantages of microscope
    M. Answer in not more than 60 words. (4 marks)

    Advantages Disadvantages
    -Higher range of magnification -Inability to analyse live specimens
    -Higher resolution -Black and white image
    -Higher quality images -Expensive
    -Size are large

    (ii) Lily Mae wants to isolate organelle K from the cell. Explain the
    principle involved in isolating organelle K from the cell. Answer in not
    more than 130 words. (9 marks)

    (b) Treacher Collins syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by distinctive


    abnormalities to the head and face. Mutation to a few numbers of genes in the
    patient causes a reduced production of ribosomal RNA. With justification,
    identify ONE (1) structure of a cell most likely to be affected by this mutation.
    In your answer, discuss how the reduced production of ribosomal RNA affects
    cellular activity. Answer in not more than 70 words. (5 marks)

    Q2 Plant cells are eukaryotic cells found in the organisms within the kingdom Plantae.

    1
    202105

    (a) State TWO (2) characteristics of a eukaryotic cell. (2 marks)


    Eukaryotic cell has DNA in nucleus which is bound by a membranous nuclear
    envelope. It is membrane-bound organelles. It has cytoplasm in the region
    between the plasma membrane and nucleus.

    (b) Identify any THREE (3) parts or content of a plant cell nucleus. State their
    functions. (6 marks)
     Chromatin condenses to form discrete chromosomes.
     Nuclear envelope encloses the nucleus, separating it from the cytoplasm.
     Nucleolus is the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis.

    Q3. Figure 2 shows electron micrographs of four organelles in a eukaryotic cell, A, B, C
    and D.

    Figure 2

    State the name and function of each organelle (A, B, C and D) in Table 1. (8 marks)

    Table 1
    Organelle Name Function
    A Mitochondria Sites of cellular respiration.
    B Golgi apparatus -Modifies products of the ER.
    -Manufactures certain macromolecules.
    -Sorts and packages materials into transport
    vesicles.
    C Chloroplast Site of photosynthesis.

    Q4. White blood cells and red blood cells are some of the components of the human
    blood. Red blood cell lacks a nucleus and most organelles. Meanwhile white blood
    cell consists of a nucleus and is abundant with bound ribosomes and Golgi apparatus.
    Discuss how the organelles found in a white blood cell accommodate to its function.
    Answer in not more than 150 words. (7 marks)
