D The student could be modeling an animal cell, but a cell wall needs to be added.The student could be modeling an animal cell, but a cell wall needs to be added.
E The student could be modeling an animal or a plant cell, and no more structures need to be added

Answer 1

Based on the structures mentioned (cell membrane, nucleus, and mitochondria), the two suitable responses are:

A. The student could be modeling an animal cell.
C. The student could be modeling a plant cell, but more structures should be added.

An animal cell contains all three of these structures, while a plant cell also contains these structures but would additionally need a cell wall and chloroplasts. Thus, A and C are correct choices.
