Question

1. is the cell pictured above a plant or animal cell? explain. 38. structure a is a golgi body. describe its function. 39. identify the structures labeled b and describe its function. 40. identify structure c and describe its function.

Explanation:

1. The cell is a plant cell. It has a rigid cell - wall (visible as the outer boundary), which is characteristic of plant cells and absent in animal cells.
2. The Golgi body modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell. It also plays a role in the synthesis of cell - wall components in plant cells.
3. Assuming B is a large vacuole (common in plant cells). Its function is to store water, nutrients, and waste products. It also helps maintain turgor pressure in the cell.
4. Assuming C is a chloroplast. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon - dioxide and water.

Answer:

1. Plant cell. It has a cell - wall.
2. Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids; involved in cell - wall synthesis in plants.
3. Large vacuole. Stores water, nutrients, waste; maintains turgor pressure.
4. Chloroplast. Site of photosynthesis.
