Question

Abhi observed the following cell parts of two different cells under a microscope. He recorded his observation in the table given.
$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Parts of cell}& Cell{}^{\prime }{X}^{\prime }& Cell{}^{\prime }{Y}^{\prime }\\ \text{Cell wall}& \text{Present}& \text{Absent}\\ \text{Cytoplasm}& \text{Present}& \text{Present}\\ \text{Nucleus}& \text{Present}& \text{Present}\\ \text{Cell Membrane}& \text{Present}& \text{Present}\\ \text{Chloroplast}& \text{Absent}& \text{Absent}\end{array}$

Identify 'X' and 'Y'

• A. $\begin{array}{cc}X& Y\\ Animalcell& Plantcell\end{array}$
• B. $\begin{array}{cc}X& Y\\ Plantcell& Animalcell\end{array}$
• C. $\begin{array}{cc}X& Y\\ Fungalcell& Animalcell\end{array}$
• D. $\begin{array}{cc}X& Y\\ Animalcell& Fungalcell\end{array}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\begin{array}{cc}X& Y\\ Fungalcell& Animalcell\end{array}$

The characteristics show that ‘X’ is a fungal cell and ‘Y’ is an animal cell. This is because fungi do not contain chloroplast. Fungal cells contain cell wall made up of chitin and have other cellular parts like cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane, etc. and animal cells lack cell wall and do not contain chloroplast.
