Question

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

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 B $\begin{array}{cc}X& Y\\ Plantcell& Animalcell\end{array}$

The characteristics show that ‘X’ is a plant cell and ‘Y’ is an animal cell. Plant cells contain cell walls made up of cellulose and have other cellular parts like cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane, etc. and an animal cell lacks a cell wall and does not contain chloroplast. They are dependent on other organisms for their nutrition.
