Question

Students used a high-powered microscope to look at cells sampled from four different types of organisms. They recorded their observations about the cells in a table.
Sample A Sample B Sample C Sample D
Have a nucleus ✔ ✔ ✔
Have lysosomes ✔
Have chromosomal DNA in the cytoplasm ✔
Are from a multicellular organism ✔ ✔
Which cell sample most likely came from a plant?

Answer 1

Sample A.

Reason: It has a nucleus (so it's eukaryotic) and is from a multicellular organism, but it lacks lysosomes (lysosomes are typical of animal cells). It also does not have chromosomal DNA in the cytoplasm (so it's not a prokaryote). Those features best match a plant cell.
