O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/M/J/24

Explanation
Matching labels to plant cell organelles
Steps:
- Identify the sap vacuole as the large central fluid-filled space in plant cells.
- Locate the nucleus as the spherical structure near the cell periphery, containing genetic material.
- Spot the chloroplast as the lens-shaped organelle with stacked thylakoids for photosynthesis.
- Assign labels based on diagram positions: X to vacuole, Z to nucleus, Y to chloroplast.
Why B is correct:
- Option B (X, Z, Y) precisely matches the standard positions: X for sap vacuole, Z for nucleus, Y for chloroplast, aligning with plant cell anatomy definitions.
Why the others are wrong:
- A misorders as vacuole-nucleus-chloroplast, swapping nucleus and chloroplast labels.
- C starts with Y (chloroplast) as vacuole, inverting the sequence incorrectly.
- D begins with Z (nucleus) as vacuole, mismatching all assignments.
Final answer: B
