TOne possible conclusion that can be drawn about the activity of these two cells is that

(1) more active transport occurs in cell B than in cell A
(2) more active transport occurs in cell A than in cell B
(3) cell B uses some of the extra mitochondria to make food
(4) cell A is a plant cell since it has a cell wall Mitochondria Cell

Answer:

(2) more active transport occurs in cell A than in cell B

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose you meant the cells picture I attached.

(1) more active transport occurs in cell B than in cell A;

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. For this movement to occur, it requires cellular energy. From the diagram, cell B possess less mitochondria than cell A.

(2) more active transport occurs in cell A than in cell B;

From the above explanation, it is clear that cell A possess more mitochondria than cell B, active transport moves against a concentration gradient and therefore require energy which must be supplied by the cell. Due to this the cells capable of active transport usually have more mitochondria, in which respiration takes place than other cells.

(3) cell B uses some of the extra mitochondria to make food

From the diagram, it does not indicate the cell using any extra mitochondria to make food. Mitochondria produce energy by cellular respiration.

(4) cell A is a plant cell since it has a cell wall Mitochondria Cell

Animal cells do not have a cell wall but have a cell membrane. Plant cells have a cell wall composed of cellulose as well as a cell membrane; however, from the diagram, this information is invalid.
