Question

A permanent slide shows thin-walled isodiametric cells with a large vacuole. The slide contains

• A. Parenchyma cells
• B. Nerve cells
• C. Sclerenchyma cells
• D. Collenchyma cells

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Parenchyma cells

The correct option is (A)

Explanation of the correct option:

1. The large vacuoles conclude the cells present are plant cells.
2. Isodiametric resembles relative equal diameter in all planes or roughly circular or polyhedral which is characteristic of parenchyma cells.
3. Thus the cell viewed under a microscope is parenchyma cells.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option B: A nerve cell under a microscope consists of a large cell body with small projections extending called dendrites.

Option C: Sclerenchyma cells have thick lignified cell walls, elongated and polygonal in shape.

Option D: Collenchyma cell has thickened cell wall mostly at the corners, and remains compactly arranged with no intracellular space.

Final answer: A permanent slide shows thin-walled isodiametric cells with a large vacuole. The slide contains parenchyma cells.
