Question

hat would happen if the life of a cell if there was no golgi apparatus? (3) (b) If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution,what
among the following will take place? Explain the reason for your answer.
(i)RBC will burst easily while cells of onion peel will resit the bursting to some extent.
(ii) Both the cells will swell.
(iii) a and b both are correct.
(iv) RBC and onion peel cells will have similarly.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans 1. The golgi apparatus packages proteins into vesicles inside of the cell before sending them to their destinations. ... The secretory activities of the cell would also cease to occur. Also, if there is no golgi apparatus, the plasma membrane would be affected because it needs to be able to grow larger for cell division.

Ans 2. When the cells are kept in a hypotonic solution, endosmosis occur, i.e., inward movement of water. This results in the swelling up of the cells. The RBCs burst easily because they are animal cells and do not have cell wall. The onion peel possess cell wall which makes it resistant to bursting due to swelling caused by endosmosis. Therefore, option (iii) is correct.
