Question 2 Some components of cells are listed 1. Cytoplasm Nucleus 3. Chloroplasts 4. Cell Wall 5. 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 cells? a Components 2 and 3 only Components 1, 2, and 3 only Ос Components 1 and 5 only Components 3 and 4 only

Answer 1

In a prepared slide of leaf epidermal cells, you would be able to observe:

1. Cytoplasm - This is present in all cells and can be seen under a light microscope.
2. Nucleus - This is also visible in most cells, including leaf epidermal cells.
3. Chloroplasts - Specific to plant cells, these organelles can be observed under the microscope and are responsible for photosynthesis.
4. Cell Wall - This provides structure to plant cells and is visible.
5. Cell Membrane - This is not typically visible on light microscopy slides because it's very thin and is often obscured by other structures.

From the options provided, the components that could be observed in leaf epidermal cells (which are specialized plant cells) but not in a prepared animal cell slide (like a typical epithelial cell slide) would be Chloroplasts, since they are found in plant cells but not in animal cells.

Thus, the correct answer would be Components 3 and 4 only (specifically, Chloroplasts and Cell Wall).
