# Test 5 · The microscopic world: cells, the building blocks of life

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
What would you see if you looked at a plant leaf cell and your cheek cell side by side?

<!-- .vintro -->
**Mova's choice:** option 1 · **The right answer:** option 4 · wrong ✗ · **Who acts:** you · **What happens:** see, look

<!-- .vabout -->
This is test 5 of lesson 256 «The microscopic world: cells, the building blocks of life» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives the question's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause, then the 4 options as the student saw them, each with its tree and pragmatics. Every text is parsed by Mova itself. How the student answered it, with the score of every option and why: [the test at school](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/school-run/biology/256-the-microscopic-world-cells-the-building-blocks-of-life/#t5).
