SECTION-E (4x3 = 12)
Question No- 37 to 39 are case- based/data based question with 2 to 4 short sub parts.
37.All living organisms are made up of cells and these cells perform all the functions
essential for the survival of the organism e.g., respiration, digestion excretion, etc.
In unicellular organisms, a single cell carries out all these functions and in multicellular
organisms different group of cells carry out different functions.
Cells were first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He observed the cells in a cork slice
with the help of a primitive microscope. Leuwenhoek (1674) ,with the improved
microscope , discovered the free living cells in pond water for the first time. It was Robert
Brown in 1831 who discovered the nucleus in the cell. Purkinje in 1839 coined the term
‘protoplasm’ for the fluid substance of the cell.

there are some substances known which on heating directly change their state from solid
to gas.
