central vacuole
central vacuole

plasma membrane

Answer 1

If the cell is round and incapable of producing its own food, it is likely an animal cell. Among the options provided, the organelle that the cell must have is the plasma membrane, as it is essential for all cells to maintain their integrity and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

The other organelles mentioned (chloroplast, cell wall, central vacuole) are typically found in plant cells. Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis (which requires the ability to produce food), cell walls provide structure to plant cells, and central vacuoles are more common in plant cells for storing materials and maintaining turgor pressure.
