    1.The Chromosome
    2.The Cell
    3.The Cell wall
    4.The Plasma
    5.None of these
    Answer – 2.The Cell
    Explanation :
    The Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life and is often called the building block of life.

  2. The first living cell was discovered by ……………….
    1.Leeuwenhoek
    2.Theophrastus
    3.Aristotle
    4.Lamarck
    5.None of these
    Answer – 1.Leeuwenhoek
    Explanation :
    The cell walls observed by Hooke gave no indication of the nucleus and other organelles found in most living cells. The first man to witness a live cell under a microscope was Anton van Leeuwenhoek, who in 1674 described the algae Spirogyra.

    Answer – 4.Cytology
    Explanation :
    The study of cell structure came to be called cytology and that of tissues histology. In the 20th cent. appreciation of the biochemistry of the cell has flourished, along with a better understanding of its structure;cell biology now integrates both chemical and structural information
