Learners Quiz 2023-24

Learners Quiz is a Fun to Learn Quiz Program based on adaptive testing for Class 1 to 12 in Mathematics and Science. Any individual learner from any board all over the India or part of world or any school/institute can participate in this quiz. The best part of the quiz is that the individual learner will overcome his weak points in Science, improve his/her understanding in Science and Maths while participating in the quiz. Regular comparison in the form of rank is helpful in improving skills and learning power. Attractive prizes will be given to learners secure 1st three ranks all over India and in their respective schools (learners who participate on behalf of their schools). Prizes will given in two categories:

Category 1: Kids Class 1-5

Category 2: Class 6-12.

In each category, the prizes will be as follows:

Ist Prize – 10% of the Prize Pool or minimum Rs 4000

2nd Prize – 6% of the Prize Pool or minimum Rs 3000

3rd Prize – 4% of the Prize Pool or minimum Rs. 2400.

8 consolation prizes worth 5% of the Prize Pool will also be distributed among ranks 4 to 11.

For all over India Prizes “Prize Pool” will be total students in each category* 80% of individual fees.

For prizes within a school, “Prize Pool” will be total students from the school in each category* 80% of individual fees

Components of Cell (Biology)



Both animals and plants are made up of cells. Whether a cell belongs to an animal or a cell, every cell has three main components Cell membrane, Nucleus and Nucleoplasm. Lets discuss about the various components of a cell. 

1. CELL MEMBRANE : The cell membrane of the cell is the outer layer of the cell and it is basically a semi permeable membrane. The main function of the cell membrane is to control the molecular activities between the cell & its outer medium which interact with the cell. Cells are enclosed by a thin film like membrane called plasma membrane, cytoplasmic membrane or plasma lemma.

2. CYTOPLASM : It is a part of protoplasm lying between plasma membrane and nucleus, Jelly-like fluid. It participates in the intracellular distribution of nutrients, metabolites and enzymes.

3. CELL WALL : Cells of most fungi, prokaryotes (bacteria and blue-green algae) and plants (except gametes) are surrounded by the cell wall. It is absent in animals. In true bacteria and cyanobacteria, cell wall is of peptidoglycan, in some fungi it is of chitin and in most of the algae and higher green plants it is of cellulose.

4. NUCLEUS : It is discovered by Robert Brown. Every eukaryotic cell consists of at least one, almost spherical, dense, highly specialized structure called nucleus. Although, sieve tube element of mature phloem and RBCs of mammals don’t have nucleus. It contains nucleoplasm (nuclear sap) which contains chromatin. (Chromatin is composed of DNA mainly). Chromatin organizes itself into thread like structures called Chromosomes. The function of chromosomes is to carry genetic information from one cell generation to another. Nucleolus is also present which helps in the production of ribosome. Nucleus controls the metabolic activities of the cell by controlling the synthesis of enzymes.

5. CHROMOSOMES : Waldeyer coined the term chromosome. Sutton and Boveri proved that chromosome is the physical basis of hereditary. Each chromosome is made up of DNA and this DNA by replication gives rise to messenger RNA which carry the genetic information in the form of code. This -RNA comes out of the nuclear wall into the cytoplasm where it helps to form a particular kind of protein needed by the cell or body. Number is constant for a particular species. In humans, the diploid number is 46. Of these, 23 are from egg cell and 23 from sperm cell.

6. MITOCHONDRIA : It is also called as Power house of the cell or energy converting organelles, as oxidation of food occurs in stepwise manner, resulting in the release of chemical energy. This energy is stored in the form of ATP. From mitochondria, ATP molecules are shifted to cytoplasm, which is the chief site of their utilization. They are semi-autonomous organelles. They contain DNA, m-RNA, ribosome and can synthesize some of their own proteins. Each mitochondria is enclosed by a double-membraned envelope, outer and inner. Fluid (called matrix) is there between these two layers

7. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM : It provides an increased surface area for various metabolic activities within the cell. It provides mechanical support to the cytoplasm. It is of two types: Rough and smooth. Both Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum form passages for transport of secretary proteins, lipids and sterols. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum collects and stores the proteins synthesized by its surface bound ribosome. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum also helps in detoxifying any poisonous substance in the cell.

8. GOLGI COMPLEX : The Golgi Complex (Golgi apparatus or Golgi body) is found in most eukaryotic cells. The Golgi apparatus is a major collection and dispatch station of protein products received from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The main functions of Golgi bodies are the processing of proteins synthesized by ribosomes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum,  syn­thesis of certain polysaccharides and glycolipids, and the packaging of secretory materials that are to be discharged from the cell.

9. LYSOSOMES : These are also called Suicidal bags. They contain powerful enzymes (acid hydrolyses), rupture of lissome membrane releases these enzymes. They can digest worn-out or unnecessary parts of the cell, or even whole cells by process called ‘Autophagy’.

10. RIBOSOMES : These are found on Endoplasmic Reticulum. These are made of RNA and proteins in equal amounts. They act as sites of protein synthesis (Ribosome are inactive for protein synthesis, but after combining with mRNA form polyribosome which play important role in protein synthesis).

11. VACUOLES : These are found only in plant cells. Membrane surrounding the vacuole is tonoplast. There main functions are regulation of water, osmoregulation, storage and indigestion.

12. PLASTIDS : They are found in plant cells only. They are of different types:
(i)Chloroplast: These impart green colour as they contains the pigment chlorophyll. They contains the matrix (fluid), stroma which has many flat membranous structures called thylakoids
(ii)Leucoplasts: These are colourless, occur in large no in cells of fruits, seeds, etc. They store nutrients (eg, amyloplasts of potato store starch).
(iii)Chromoplasts: These are colored, containing fat soluble yellow, orange and red pigments (chiefly carotinoids). These are found in flowers and fruits.

13. CENTROSOME : These are found in animal cells and cells of lower plants (eg, Algae) only. The first indication that the cell is about to divide is generally given by the centrosome.
