Q6: Case study based

1. Symbiosis is a relationship in which organisms from two separate species live in close
association and typically exhibit specific adaptations to each other. Endosymbiosis (endo-
= within) is a relationship in which one organism lives inside the other. Endosymbiotic
relationships abound in nature. Scientist have long noticed that bacteria, mitochondria,
and chloroplasts are similar in size. We also know that mitochondria and chloroplasts have DNA
and ribosomes, just as bacteria do. Scientists believe that host cells and bacteria formed
a mutually beneficial endosymbiotic relationship when the host cells ingested aerobic bacteria
and cyanobacteria but did not destroy them. Through evolution, these ingested bacteria
became more specialized in their functions, with the aerobic bacteria becoming mitochondria
and the photosynthetic bacteria becoming chloroplasts.

a) Which of the following organelles are semi-autonomous in nature?

i. Mitochondria
ii. Chloroplast
 iii. Both of these
iv. None of these

b) Select the correct statement from the following

i. Mitochondria manufactures food for the organisms thus provides energy

ii. Chloroplast are responsible for the oxidation process
iii. Mitochondria is a site of cellular respiration. The oxidation of food
during respiration releases energy
iv. Chloroplast are responsible for the generation of energy currency of the cell

c) Mitochondria and Chloroplast are able to synthesis some of their own proteins because
of

i. Presence of their own DNA and ribosomes

ii. Presence of their own nucleus
iii. Presence of double membrane bound envelope
iv. Presence of their own genetic material

d) Terms like ’cristae’ and F1 particles are associated with which cell organelle?

i. Chloroplast
ii. Plastid
iii. Nucleus
iv. Mitochondria

2. Cell is an incredible object. The cell is actually too small to see with the unaided eye. It is
visible when it is being viewed with a very powerful microscope. Cells may be small in size,
but they are extremely important for life. Like all other living things, you are made of cells.
Cells are the basis of life, and without cells, life as we know it would not exist. Cells are the
basic units of the structure and function of living things. They are the smallest units that can
carry out the processes of life. All organisms are made up of one or more cells, and all cells
have many of the same structures and carry out the same basic life processes. Knowing the
structure of cells and the processes they carry out is necessary to understanding life itself.

ii. Leeuwenhoek
iii. Schwann and Schleiden
iv. Rudolf Virchow

i. Only plants are made of one or more cells.
ii. All the life functions of organisms occur within cells
iii. All organisms are made up of more than one cells
iv. Bacteria, plants, animals and viruses are all made up of cells
c) Which type of microscope is used for viewing the detailed structures of cell
components?

 ii. Dissection Microscope
iii. Electron Microscope
