Question

In an animal cheek cell, the nucleus is generally located _________ .
A. In the centre of the cell
B. On one side of the cell
C. Near the plasma membrane
D. Anywhere in the cell

Answer 1

Hint:- The cells of the human check (also called as the basal mucosa) are said to be
composed of squamous epithelial cells. We can say that these are the cells of the eukaryotic
organisms which contain a nucleus. Also, the other organelles are enclosed in a membrane.

Complete answer:
It is said that the nucleus is located at the center of the cytoplasm in an animal cheek cell. As we
already know that the animal cheek cell does not contain a cell wall and a prominent vacuole. In
In addition, the cytoplasm is denser and granular than plant cells in these animal cheek cells.
However, in plant cells, the nucleus is located on the way to the periphery of the cell as a result of
the presence of a large vacuole. That is the nucleus is present at only one of the cells in plants.
In animals like an amoeba, there is an absence of a distinct nucleus, thus, we can say that the
nucleus can present anywhere in the cell.
Thus, the correct answer is ”In the center of the cell”.

Note:- Due to the reason that the check cells of the animals can be easily shed from the mouth lining, these cells are the study material to scientists. They can be easily obtained for the purpose of observation. The structures of the cell organelles such as the nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm are said to be easily observed in the human cheek cells.
