Question

X and Y are two eukaryotic cells. After removing a particular type of organelles from X, it lost its ability to generate energy currency whereas after removing another type of organelles from Y, it lost its ability to store protein granules. Identify the cells X and Y and the organelles removed from these cells.

X	Y
Plant cell : Vacuoles	Animal cell : Mitochondria
Animal cell : Mitochondria	Plant cell : Leucoplasts
Plant cell : Golgi bodies	Animal cell : Mitochondria
Animal cell : Mitochondria	Plant cell : Vacuoles

Answer 1

From the cell X when the organelle is removed, the energy could not be made. So, the organelle is mitochondria and the cell is the animal cell.

From the cell Y when the organelle is removed, protein granules could not be stored, so the organelle is leucoplast and cell is plant cell.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Animal cell: Mitochondria; Plant cell: Leucoplast'
