The diagram above represents two cells, X and Y. Which statement is correct concerning Cell X?
(1 point)
It has an organelle that undergoes photosynthesis.
It is a plant cell.
It obtains its energy through cellular respiration in the mitochondria.
It does not have a nucleus.
The statement that is correct concerning Cell X is: It is a plant cell.
Based on the information provided, the correct statement concerning Cell X is: It obtains its energy through cellular respiration in the mitochondria.
To determine the correct statement concerning Cell X, we need to carefully analyze the given information.
The diagram represents two cells, X and Y. We can begin by eliminating statements that are not supported by the diagram.
The option "It does not have a nucleus" cannot be confirmed or refuted by the diagram alone. The presence or absence of a nucleus is not indicated in the diagram.
The option "It is a plant cell" cannot be confirmed either. While plant cells typically have specific structures like a cell wall or chloroplasts, the diagram does not provide sufficient information to determine if Cell X is indeed a plant cell.
Now, let's analyze the remaining options:
1. "It has an organelle that undergoes photosynthesis."
2. "It obtains its energy through cellular respiration in the mitochondria."
To determine which statement is correct, we need to understand the organelles involved in photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast, an organelle present in plant cells that converts light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen. However, since we cannot confirm that Cell X is a plant cell, we cannot determine if it has an organelle undergoing photosynthesis.
On the other hand, cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria, a vital organelle found in both plant and animal cells. It is responsible for converting glucose and oxygen into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which provides energy for cellular processes.
Since the diagram does not indicate whether Cell X is a plant cell, we cannot definitively state if it undergoes photosynthesis. However, we can safely say that Cell X obtains its energy through cellular respiration in the mitochondria, as this is a fundamental process for all cells.
Therefore, the correct statement concerning Cell X is:
- It obtains its energy through cellular respiration in the mitochondria.
