Answer 1

Answer:

Non living parts of cell:

1) Chromoplasts:

It contains the pigments other than chlorophyll.

2) Vacuole:

Plant cells have one or more vacuoles of variable size. The material contained in vacuole is called as cell sap.

3) Cell sap:

Cell sap is relatively less dense than the surrounding cytoplasm. It contains sugars, salts, proteins and phenols as well as some specific pigments e.g. anthocyanin.

4) Cell wall:

Plant cell is surrounded by a non-living and rigid coat called cell wall. The main function of the cell wall is to pro­vide plant cell a definite shape and mechanical support and strength to tissues and organs

Answer 2

Answer:

The non- living parts of a cell are:

1. Cell sap
2. Vacuoles
3. Chromoplast
4. Cell wall

Explanation:

A cell is made up of an outer plasma membrane that encloses the jelly like substance called the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm contains a variety of cell organelles. Some of them are found to be living while others are non- living.

A few examples of living components of cell are:-

• Mitochondria
• Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Ribosomes
• Golgi bodies
