Answer:

C. An onion cell has a cell wall.

Explanation:

  • One of the major difference between onion and cheek cell is the presence of a cell wall in the onion cell.
  • The reason for this is that onion cell is a plant cell whereas cheek cell is an animal cell.
  • A cell wall is absent from an animal cell but it is essential for a plant cell as plants are immobile and thus require the protection of cell wall to survive in conditions such as extreme temperatures, drought, etc.
  • On the other hand, there is no need for a rigid cell wall in animals.

The correct answer is "C".

Onion cell is a plant cell and human cheek cell is an animal cell. Hence, onion cell has a cell wall<span> but not in human cheek cells because animal cells do not have cell wall. Both cells have single nucleus. Since, human cheek cell is an animal cell, chloroplasts are cannot be seen in the human cheek cells.</span>

Why do plant cells have a cell wall and plant cells don’t?
Minchanka [31]
So animal cells can have various shapes, but plant cells only havethe shapes of their cell walls. That's nice for plants, because it gives them the ability to grow up and out, where they can get lots of sunlight for making their food.

In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants tohave rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and supple leaves; and vacuoles allow plant cells to change siz
Exactly why plant cell have wall and animal cell don't :-Cell walls are supporting structures that help the plant to have a fixed shape and protect it from injury. Other than that, it helps to keep the plant turgid so that it can stay firm and upright. Because when it enters a high water potential solution, as water moves in, the water exerts turgor pressure on the cell wall and the cell wall thus exerts an opposing pressure to keep water out. Hence cell wall is needed for the plant.

On the other hand, animal cells do not need to keep the structures, as they have the skeletal system to protect the organs and cushion them against any external Injuries.

Which statement correctly compares the transfer of genetic material during mitosis and meiosis?
Ne4ueva [31]
Mitosis and meiosis are simply cell division processes that occurs differently, they're characteristically divergent from each other according to their function and structure. Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. Meiosis on the other hand is responsible for the cell division of the gametes, spermatogenesis (sperm cells) and oogenesis (egg cells), such haploid cells. i hope that this helps you out, have an amazing day
