CLASS-IX SCIENCE
Discovery of Cell: In 1665 Robert Hooke – an English Scientist, Saw
Cells in a thin slice of cork with his crude microscope.
His discovery indicated for the first time that living organisms consisted of
number of small structures or units.
Shape and Size of cells: Shape and size of cells vary but all of these are
ultimately determined by the specific function.
Some cell can change their shapes amoeba, WBC but plants and animals
have almost fixed shapes.
Smallest cell=
PPLO(mycoplasma)
Cell is basic unit of life: It performs all life function like intake of food
materials, excretion, metabolism, respiration, irritability, etc.,

Protein synthesis
Lipid synthesis
The outer most delicate elastic membranous covering of the cell that
separates its contents from the external environment is called Plasma
Membrane
Diffusion
Osmosis
Importance of Diffusion:

sides of the membrane.
Endosmosis
Exosmosis
When we place the cell in higher concentration the water comes out of the
cell by a process called exosmosis.
Cell Wall:
Cell wall possesses small pores through which adjacent cells remain
connected called Plasmodesmata.
One nucleus (uninucleate) is present in most of cells but some cells may
have more than one (multi nucleate).

The internal compartment, called the lumen, is a separate part of the cell
with a distinct protein and ion composition.
The ER’s folding generates a surface area much greater than that of the
plasma membrane.
SER in liver cells takes part in detoxifying many poisons and drugs.
Functions of Golgi:
Lysosomes-suicide bags:
Functions
Intracellular Digestion
Time of metamorphosis
Commonly called “Power House of the Cell” because they contain enzymes
necessary for the total oxidation of food and for release of high amount of
energy in the form of ATP.

Plastids:
Plastids are large cell organelles found only in plant cells which are
specialized to synthesize and store organic substances.
Plastids are classified on the basis of pigment present in them two types
Stroma contains enzymes for dark reaction; DNA, RNA and ribosomes,
latter make the chloroplasts semiautonomous.
Vacuoles-store house of the cell: They are fluid filled or solid filled and
membrane bounded spaces. They are a kind of storage sacs.
Functions:
