Some components of cells are listed.
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Chloroplasts
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?
a
Components 3 and 4 only
b
Components 1 and 5 only
c
Components 1, 2, and 3 only
d
Components 2 and 3 only
c Components 1, 2, and 3 only
In a prepared slide of leaf epidermal cells, you would be able to observe cytoplasm, nucleus, and chloroplasts. These three components are specific to plant cells and are not typically found in animal cells such as human cheek cells. The other components listed, cell wall and cell membrane, would not be visible in either type of cell using a light microscope.
