A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/14/M/J/25
Question 7 from 9700/14/M/J/25

Explanation

Classifying unicellular organism as eukaryotic

Steps:

  • Examine diagram for key organelles: presence of nucleus and mitochondria, absence of cell wall.
  • Recall prokaryotes lack nucleus; eukaryotes have membrane-bound nucleus.
  • Confirm organism fits eukaryotic criteria due to nucleus.
  • Eliminate options contradicting definitions of cell types.

Why A is correct:

  • Prokaryotes are defined by absence of nucleus; presence of nucleus confirms eukaryotic nature.

Why the others are wrong:

  • B: Plants are eukaryotic and contain mitochondria for energy production.
  • C: Eukaryotes like fungi and plants have cell walls; lack of wall does not determine eukaryotic status.
  • D: Unicellular eukaryotes include protists, not just bacteria.

Final answer: A

Topic: Cells as the basic units of living organisms
