Multiple Choice
In the context of eukaryotic cell architecture, what type of cell is a human cheek cell?
A
A prokaryotic bacterial cell
B
A eukaryotic animal epithelial cell
C
An archaeal cell lacking a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
D
A plant parenchyma cell with a rigid cell wall and chloroplasts
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the basic classification of cells into prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have these features.
Step 2: Recognize that human cells are eukaryotic because they contain a nucleus and various membrane-bound organelles.
Step 3: Identify the tissue type of the human cheek cell. Cheek cells are part of the lining of the mouth, which is an epithelial tissue.
Step 4: Recall that epithelial cells in animals form protective layers and do not have cell walls or chloroplasts, distinguishing them from plant cells.
Step 5: Conclude that a human cheek cell is a eukaryotic animal epithelial cell, not a prokaryotic bacterial cell, archaeal cell, or plant cell.
