Question

These two cells have several features in common. They also differ in several ways. The two cells share all but one feature listed below. What is that feature?
A) contain DNA
B) enclosed in protein capsule
C) undergo cellular respiration
D) produce proteins in ribosome

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B) Enclosed in protein capsule.

Explanation:

If you look at all the other options, they are present in all the cell types. Be it a plant cell or an animal cell or bacterial cell, they all contain the genetic material DNA, they undergo or exhibit cellular respiration which is responsible for the release of energy and all the cell types contain ribosomes which is the site of protein synthesis. Only some cell types are enclosed by protein capsule like some viruses but not all cell types, thus the answer is B.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) enclosed in a protein capsule

Almost all living cells contain DNA as their genetic material. DNA control and coordinates the function of the cell. The two cells also must contain the DNA.

Cellular respiration refers to the set of biochemical reactions by which the cell generates ATP or energy. All the living cells produce energy through cellular respiration, however, they may utilize the aerobic or anaerobic form of respiration.

A ribosome is found in all the living cells including animal cells, plants, bacteria et cetera. They form the site for protein synthesis in all the cells.

The protein capsule is not a universal feature of all living cells. Thus, it may be present in one cell type and absent in another cell type.
