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) Responses chloroplasts chloroplasts central vacuole central vacuole cell wall cell wall nucleus nucleus endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 1

To identify that the organism is a plant and not an animal, the student should look for the following three organelles or cell parts:

1. **Chloroplasts** - These organelles are responsible for photosynthesis and are found in plant cells.
2. **Central vacuole** - This large vacuole is prominent in plant cells and helps maintain turgor pressure.
3. **Cell wall** - Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, which is not present in animal cells.

So, the three correct choices are:
- Chloroplasts
- Central vacuole
- Cell wall
