Question

You are told that a cell contains DNA, ribosomes, proteins, and an outer cell membrane. You don’t know what else is present in the cell. From which organism(s) could this cell come?

A eukaryote, but not a prokaryote

A plant, but not an animal

Any kind of organism

A prokaryote, but not a eukaryote

An animal, but not a plant

Answer 1

Cell wall is the characteristic feature of bacteria and plant cell. As the cell wall is absent here, this is the cell not from bacteria or plant kingdom.

The animal cells doesnot have the cellwalls and they have only outer cell membrane which repesents that the cell is from animal tissue, hence

the answer is

An animal, but not a plant.

As the DNA, ribsomes, proteins and cell membrane is present in every living organism we can not say the option A eukaryote, but not a prokaryote is correct.

As the absence of cell wall, the option A plant, but not an animal is wrong.

As these are the common charcaters between pro and eukaryote, the option i.e. A prokaryote, but not a eukaryote is also wrong.
