Practice question
Question
Three cells show the following features:
Cell P: cell wall, plastids and a large central vacuole
Cell Q: centrioles but no cell wall or plastids
Cell R: naked circular genomic DNA, 70S ribosomes and no membrane-bound organelles
Which classification is correct?
Explanation
A plant cell possesses a cell wall, plastids and a large central vacuole. Centrioles are characteristic of animal cells and absent from almost all plant cells. Naked circular DNA and absence of membrane-bound organelles identify a prokaryotic cell.
