PATHOLOGY MCQ

CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
You look at a microscope slide that contains a plant or an animal cell. When you look at the slide you see that there is a cell wall and membrane-bound organelles. You conclude that the cell is what?
A
animal
B
plant
C
either plant or animal
D
neither plant or animal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -The differences between plant and animal cells are that plant cells have chloroplasts and cell walls but animal cells don’t have chloroplasts and have cell membranes.

Detailed explanation-3: -At this point, it should be clear that eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure than do prokaryotic cells. Organelles allow for various functions to occur in the cell at the same time. Despite their fundamental similarities, there are some striking differences between animal and plant cells (see Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell wall, nucleus, vacuoles, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and ribosomes are easily visible in this transmission electron micrograph. (Courtesy of Brian Gunning.)
