You receive a sample slide of an organism. While observing it under a microscope, you notice that the organism is single-celled and green in color. There are multiple individual organisms on the slide. Based on this initial information, you guess that it is either a bacterium or a protist. Which trait is least likely to help you identify the correct group of this organism?
the absence of cell structure membranes
the absence of a nucleus
the presence of different cell shapes
the presence of cell structures in the cell

The presence of different cell shapes is least likely to help identify the correct group of this organism, as bacteria and protists can both have a variety of cell shapes.
