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?

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 X and cell Y

one has chloroplast the other does not

food vacuole is big in one while it is smaller in the other

Explanation:

Hello. You forgot to add the answer options. The options are:

"A. Cell X has a cell membrane, and Cell Y does not.

B. Cell Y has a cell membrane, and Cell X does not.

C. Cell Y has a larger vacuole than Cell X.

D. Cell X has a larger vacuole than Cell Y."

C. Cell Y has a larger vacuole than Cell X.

Explanation:

From the observations made by Alyssa, we can state that:

X cell - has lysosomes, has no cell wall and has ribosomes.

Y cell - does not have lysosomes, has endoplasmic reticulum, has nucleus.

We can conclude that cell Y is a plant cell and consequently the vacuole of cell Y is large and occupies a large space within the cell, since the plant is a complex organism.

Cell X is probably a fungal cell that has small vacuoles, smaller than those found in plant cells.
