Question

a scientist is comparing the outer structure of an onion cell, structure x, to the outer structure of a human skin cell, structure y. which generalization is true about the types of structures being examined? structure x is not living, and structure y is living. structure x can be found in some human cells, and structure y can be found in some plant cells. structure x is only found in plant cells, and structure y is found in plant and animal cells. structure x is semipermeable, and structure y is selectively permeable.

Explanation:

The outer - structure of an onion cell (plant cell) is a cell wall which is only found in plant cells. The outer - structure of a human skin cell (animal cell) is a cell membrane which is found in both plant and animal cells.

Answer:

Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.
