Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following accurately contrasts the cell types, shapes and sizes of Escherichia coli and Giardia lamblia. And here we have four different answer choices containing different descriptions for the cell type size and shape of both Escherichia Coli and Giardia lamblia. And we want to know is it answer choice? A cell type E coli is a eukaryotic cell and Giardia lamblia is a pro periodic cell size. E coli is larger than Giardia labia and for shape E coli has an amorphous shape. While Giardia labia is rod shaped, answer choice B cell type both are eukaryotic cells for size. Both have similar sizes and for shape, both have similar shapes. Answer choice C for cell type E coli is a pro periodic cell. Giardia labia is a UK cell size. E coli is smaller than Giardia labia and for shape E coli has rod shaped. While Giard labia is amorphous in shape or answer choice D cell type both are prokaryotes or size E coli are larger than Giardia labia and for shape, both are spherical. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer. Choices accurately contrast the cell types shapes and size of E coli and giardia labia. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the cell type shape and size of both E coli and giardia labia to determine which of the following answer choices accurately contrasts their cell types, shapes and sizes. And we can recall that starting with E coli, we note that the cell type of E COLI, a pro Karo, the size of E coli is that it is generally small around 0.5 to two micrometers in diameter and its shape is rod shaped. Whereas Giardia labia, its cell type is that it is a eukaryote. Its size is generally large with a size of 9 to 21 micrometers in diameter. And its shape is that it has multiple flagella and two nuclei. So looking at our answer choices, which of the following correctly contrasts these cell types, the sizes and the shapes of both E coli and Giardia lamblia. And we can identify that answer. Choice. C is the correct answer as it contains the correct contrast of size shape and cell type for E Coli and Giardia labia. In that E coli is a prokaryote. While Giardia labia is a eukaryote, the size E coli is smaller than Giardi labia and the shape E coli is rod shaped. While Giardia Alamia is amorphous in shape. So answer choice C is the only correct answer choice. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
