A cell has membrane-bound organelles, but it does not have a cell wall. Which of the following could the cell possibly belong to?

Question

Responses

A thermophilic archaea because the cell does not have a nucleus
A thermophilic archaea because the cell does not have a nucleus

Bacteria because the cell has membrane-bound organelles
B acteria because the cell has membrane-bound organelles

A pine tree because the cell does not have a cell wall.
A pine tree because the cell does not have a cell wall.

A chicken because the cell does not have a cell wall.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A chicken because the cell does not have a cell wall.

Here's the reasoning:

1. Thermophilic archaea: Archaea are generally prokaryotic organisms, which means they typically do not have membrane-bound organelles, even if they sometimes exhibit characteristics similar to eukaryotes. They also often have a cell wall.

2. Bacteria: Similar to archaea, bacteria are also prokaryotic and do not possess membrane-bound organelles. Thus, this option is incorrect since it contradicts the presence of membrane-bound organelles.

3. Pine tree: Pine trees are eukaryotic organisms and have cell walls made of cellulose, so this option is also incorrect.

4. Chicken: Chickens are eukaryotic organisms and their cells do not have cell walls. They do, however, have membrane-bound organelles.

Therefore, the only valid option based on the provided characteristics is that the cell could possibly belong to a chicken.
