Q.8. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: (1x4=4)
Cell Membrane: The basic components of a cell are cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. The
cytoplasm and nucleus are enclosed within the cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane.
The membrane separates cells from one another and also the cell from the surrounding medium.
The plasma membrane is porous and allows the movement of substances or materials both inward
and outward. The boundary of the onion cell is the cell membrane covered by another thick
covering called the cell wall. The central dense round body in the centre is called the nucleus. The
jelly-like substance between the nucleus and the cell membrane is called cytoplasm. You have learnt
earlier that the cell membrane gives shape to the cell. In addition to the cell membrane, there is an
outer thick layer in cells of plants called cell wall. This additional layer surrounding the cell
membrane is required by plants for protection.

Q.2. Which of the following organelle is NOT a basic component of a cell?
(a) Cell membrane
(b) Cytoplasm
(c) Cell wall
