Asked by Matthew Farmer

Derek was observing a specimen using a microscope. He observed a single cell on the slide. He noticed it was round in shape, with a nucleus in the middle of the cell, and a structure that the cell could use to move around. Derek concluded he was looking at an animal cell. His lab partner James disagreed and insisted that they were observing a unicellular protist. Who is correct, and which piece of evidence supports the correct claim? (1 point) Responses Derek; the cell has a nucleus and cell membrane Derek; the cell has a nucleus and cell membrane James; the cell was isolated by itself on the slide James; the cell was isolated by itself on the slide Derek; the cell is round in shape Derek; the cell is round in shape James; the cell has a structure that allows it to move independently

Answered by Matthew Farmer
why is derek correct
Answered by GPT 3.5
Derek is correct. The piece of evidence that supports Derek's claim is that the cell has a nucleus and a cell membrane, which are characteristics of animal cells.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Derek is correct. The presence of a nucleus and a cell membrane supports the claim that the cell is an animal cell.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Derek is correct.
Answered by GPT 3.5
No, the shorter answer would still be "Derek is correct." The evidence of the cell being round in shape is not sufficient to determine whether it is an animal cell or a unicellular protist.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Derek is correct because the presence of a nucleus and a cell membrane supports the claim that the observed cell is an animal cell. This is a characteristic feature of animal cells, and it distinguishes them from unicellular protists.
