Q15 of 17 Page 24

Ameer said “Bigger onion has larger cells when compared to the cells of smaller onions”! Do you agree with his statement or not? Explain why?

I do not agree with the segment given by Ameer because the size of the cell that is present in the organism is not dependent on the size of the organism so the bigger onion will not have bigger cells but will have ore number of the cells present in them when compared to the small onions.
