Question

A) X and Y are two types of cells. The cells X have a well organised nucleus which is separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear membrane. On the other hand, cells Y do not have the real nucleus, their nuclear material is in direct contact with the cytoplasm and is called nucleoid. 1. What types of cells X and Y are ? 2. Give one difference in the organisation of chlorophyll in X and Y cell types. B) Draw well labelled diagram of cell Y

Answer 1

Answer:

X is a eukaryote and Y is a prokaryote.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells do not contain a distinct nucleus, bounded by a nuclear envelope, in contrast to eukaryotic organisms that do have distinct nuclei. Prokaryotes include both the bacteria and the archaea, which appear to be only distantly related to bacteria. Example: E. coli, Streptococcus Bacterium.

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, unlike prokaryotes which have no membrane-bound organelles. Examples of eukaryotes are yeast, amoebae, grass, potatoes, tapeworms, humans, etc."

1. X is a eukaryote and Y is a prokaryote.

2. E. coli is a eukaryote and amoeba is a prokaryote.
