Answer 1

To determine the correct conclusion about the cells based on the provided observations, we need to analyze the characteristics of each cell:

• Cell A:

  • Shape: Rectangular
  • Observed Organelles: Plasma membrane, cell wall, nucleus, central vacuole

• Cell B:

  • Shape: Round
  • Observed Organelles: Plasma membrane, nucleus

In biology, we know that:

• Plant cells typically have a cell wall, a central vacuole, and are usually more rectangular in shape.
• Animal cells do not have a cell wall or central vacuole, and are often more rounded.

Based on the above characteristics:

• Cell A has a cell wall and a central vacuole, indicating that it is likely a plant cell.
• Cell B does not have a cell wall and lacks a central vacuole, suggesting that it is an animal cell.

Given this analysis, the correct conclusion is:

Cell A is a plant cell, and Cell B is an animal cell.
