Question 10 Some components of cells are listed. 1. Cytoplasm 2. Nucleus 3. Chloroplasts 4. Cell Wall Cell membrane Which of the components could be observed using a microscope in a prepared slide of leaf epidermal cells but not in a prepared slide of human cheek cells? Components 2 and 3 only Components 1, 2, and 3 only Components 3 and 4 only Components 1 and 5 only

Answer 1

To determine which components could be observed in a prepared slide of leaf epidermal cells but not in a prepared slide of human cheek cells, let's consider the components listed:

1. Cytoplasm - Present in both leaf epidermal cells and human cheek cells.
2. Nucleus - Present in both leaf epidermal cells and human cheek cells.
3. Chloroplasts - Present in leaf epidermal cells (specifically in mesophyll cells) but not in human cheek cells.
4. Cell Wall - Present in leaf epidermal cells (as they are plant cells) but not in human cheek cells (which are animal cells).
5. Cell Membrane - Present in both leaf epidermal cells and human cheek cells.

The components that can be observed in leaf epidermal cells but not in human cheek cells are Chloroplasts (3) and Cell Wall (4).

So the correct answer is "Components 3 and 4 only."
