The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the two types of cells being described based on their characteristics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Characteristics of the First Cell:** - The first cell is described as "bigger," has "abundant food reserve," and possesses a "large irregularly shaped nucleus." - These characteristics are typical of a **vegetative cell** found in pollen grains. The vegetative cell serves as a source of nutrition and support for the generative cell. 2. **Identify the Characteristics of the Second Cell:** - The second cell is described as "small," has a "spindle-shaped nucleus," and contains "dense cytoplasm." - These features are characteristic of a **generative cell**, which is smaller than the vegetative cell and is responsible for producing sperm cells during fertilization. 3. **Conclusion:** - Based on the characteristics provided, the first cell is identified as a **vegetative cell** and the second cell as a **generative cell**. Both of these cells are components of pollen grains. ### Final Answer: The first cell is a **vegetative cell**, and the second cell is a **generative cell**. ---
