Question

A science student is using a microscope to study the cells of an organism. Identifying which organelles or other cell parts would show that the organism is a plant, not an animal? Select THREE answer choices. (1 point)

cell wall

central vacuole

endoplasmic reticulum

chloroplasts

nucleus

Answer 1

To identify that the organism is a plant rather than an animal, the following three organelles or cell parts would provide that indication:

1. **Cell wall**
2. **Central vacuole**
3. **Chloroplasts**

These features are characteristic of plant cells, as animal cells do not have cell walls, typically do not have large central vacuoles, and do not contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
