Assertion (A): | In a plant cell, the concentration of a number of ions is significantly higher in the vacuole than in the cytoplasm. |
Reason (R): | The tonoplast facilitates the transport of a number of ions and other materials against concentration gradients into the vacuole. |

Assertion (A): | The Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi body, is like a post office. |
Reason (R): | The Golgi apparatus is an important site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |

I: | The major lipids in cell membrane are phospholipids that are arranged in a bilayer. |
II: | The ability of lipids and carbohydrates to move laterally within the membrane is measured by its fluidity. |
III: | In addition to phospholipids, the animal cell membrane also contains cholesterol. |
IV: | Algae have a cell wall, made of cellulose, galactans, mannans, and minerals like calcium carbonate. |
V: | In plants other than algae, cell membrane consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins and proteins |
