Question

Using a microscope in the science lab, Jill observed two unknown cell: Cell
1 and Cell 2. Cell 1 she identified as a plant cell and Cell 2 as an animal
cell. Her teacher told her she identified the cells correctly. What did Jill most
likely observe to correctly identify the cells?
A. Cell 2 had a cell membrane and Cell 1 did not.
B. Cell 1 had a cell wall and Cell 2 did not.
C. Cell 2 had a chloroplast and Cell 1 did not.
D. Cell 1 had a nucleus and Cell 2 did not.

Answer 1

Answer:
B. Cell 1 had a cell wall and cell 2 did not

Explanation:
Why A,C and D is wrong:

A: Both plant cells and animal cells have cell membrane

C: Plant cell (cell1) had a chloroplast and animal cell (cell2) did not

D: Both plant cells and animal cells have nucleus

Answer 2

Cells are living entities, which are the structural and functional units of life. The cells of the plant and animals differ on the basis of structure and composition.

The correct answer is:

Option B. Cell 1 had a cell wall and Cell 2 did not.

Plant cells are the eukaryotic cells, which consist of the cell organelles like mitochondria, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, and Golgi apparatus. The distinctive feature of the plant cell is the presence of a cell wall.

Animals' cells are also the eukaryotic cells, which consist of mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, nucleus, and cytoplasm. The cell membrane is also found in the animal cell. The cell wall is absent in the animal cell.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B.
