1. Question:

Iris observed Cells A and Cells B through a microscope and drew what she saw as shown below.

She concluded that Cells A are plant cells but not Cells B. Do you agree with her? Give a reason.

2. Topic(s):

Cells

3. Key words:

Cells A, plant cells, Cells B, not plant cells, agree, explain

4. Answer:

Yes. Plant cells have cell walls which give them a regular shape. Thus, Cells A are plant cells while Cells B are not plant cells.

5. Tip(s):

Give comparison.

Note that writing plant cells have “rectangular” shapes are not acceptable, as some plant cells can be hexagonal in shape. A more accurate answer should be “regular shape”.
