Ling made a study chart for science class.



Alyssa is observing two cells, X and Y. Each cell is from either a plant or an animal. She records some of her observations in a chart.

Cell Observations
Cell X Cell Y
has lysosomes lacks lysosomes
lacks a cell wall has endoplasmic reticulum
has ribosomes has a nucleus
Which additional observation will Alyssa most likely make?

Cell X has a cell membrane, and Cell Y does not.
Cell Y has a cell membrane, and Cell X does not.
Cell Y has a larger vacuole than Cell X.
Cell X has a larger vacuole than Cell Y.

Alyssa's additional observation would be cell Y having a larger vacuole than cell X. The third option is the correct one.

Plant cell vs animal cell

From the observations, both cells are eukaryotic. This is because:

  • cell X has lysosomes which are only found in eukaryotic cells
  • cell Y has a nucleus which also peculiar to eukaryotic cells only

Lysosome houses digestive enzymes and is found mostly in animal cells. Only a few plant cells have lysosomes.

Thus, the lack of a lysosome means that cell Y is a plant cell while the presence means that cell X is an animal cell.

Generally, plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells.
