cell wall

nucleus

endoplasmic reticulum

central vacuole
central vacuole

chloroplasts

Answer 1

The three answer choices that would indicate the organism is a plant, not an animal, are:

1. Cell wall - Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, which is not present in animal cells.

2. Central vacuole - Plant cells typically contain a large central vacuole that helps maintain cell turgor, which is often absent or much smaller in animal cells.

3. Chloroplasts - Chloroplasts are organelles that carry out photosynthesis in plant cells, allowing them to produce their own food, which is not found in animal cells.

So, the correct answers are cell wall, central vacuole, and chloroplasts.
