chek out on/11 variant 11
qn 14 ans is D :S
THats easy .. water always enter the cell by osmosis (because its fresh water it has high water potential ) but in plants the cell becomes turgid and then cell wall pushes outwards and therefore no more water can enter the plant so , the cell wall actually restricts flow of water into the cell.
For animal cells water enters by osmosis and causes cell to burst ( lysis ) but the vacuole prevents it from bursting :D

what is the difference between a plant cell wall being impermeable and a plant cell wall restricting?
and what is the difference between a cell membrane being permeable and a cell membrane allowing free entry?????

Water is like a government soldier it comes in to cells and leaves as it likes to ... in a turgid plant cell it is practically 'full' of government soldiers so no room for extra soldiers so the soldiers are RESTRICTED to enter the cell. But at first the water enters the cell through cell wall so cell wall is permeable to water.
But in an animal cell no cell wall for water keeps entering the cell till it bursts :/

In your second choice without Hcl the colour is orange but with HcL the colour is green. In order of increasing intensity of reducing sugar in a solution orange shows a higher intensity of reducing sugar. So since after boiling the intensity actually reduces ( from orange to green) it cannot be a non- reducing sugar. If a non-reducing sugar was present the colour would be brick-red becuse more reducing sugar will e available.

Hey i still don't get it properly:( i mean the difference between impermeability and restriction for the cell wall
and the permeability and free entry of cell membrane
coz to me they sound like very similar things:S:cry:

I'll try to clarify this point:
A cell wall always allows water to pass through. But once it is completely full of water (turgid), then no more water can pass through.

Permeability is whether a substance is ALLOWED TO ENTER OR EXIT through a membrane. Since Cell wall is FULLY permeable( OL biology :p ) it allows ANYTHING TO PASS THROUGH IT. Whereas a cell membrane is PARTIALLY PERMEABLE which means of selective substances can enter and leave cell through it. I dont know anything COMPLETELY UNPERMEABLE but it means nothing can move across it ( like lignin i think ).

Free Entry is when something is ALLOWED to passed through a membrane.

Water is always allowed to enter or leave cell so cell wall is allows water to move across it and cell membrane also allows water to move across it.
