Question 3 • AISD-Biology A CR - (25-26)

A scientist is observing onion cells and human cheek cells under a microscope.Which observation does she most likely make?

Answer
A
The onion cells have ribosomes, and the cheek cells do not.
B
The cheek cells have mitochondria, and the onion cells do not.
C
The cheek cells have a nucleus, and the onion cells do not.
D
The onion cells have a cell wall, and the cheek cells do not.

Explanation

Onion cells are plant cells, so they have a rigid cell wall outside the cell membrane. Human cheek cells are animal cells and do not have a cell wall. Both types of cells have ribosomes, mitochondria, and a nucleus, so the observation that distinguishes them is that onion cells have a cell wall and cheek cells do not.
