Question
Tamia was observing a specimen using a microscope. She observed multiple cells on the slide that seemed to clump together. She also noticed a nucleus in each cell, and the cells were round in shape. The cells all had the same appearance without any structures that would be used for movement. Tamia concluded she was looking at some kind of animal cells. What evidence from her observations best supports this claim? Choose all that apply.(3 points)
Responses

There were multiple types of cells observed in the specimen.

Answer 1

Tamia's observations can be supported by the following pieces of evidence:

1. The cells contained structures found in an animal cell like a nucleus and cell membrane. - This indicates that the cells have characteristics typical of animal cells, which do have a nucleus and cell membrane.

2. The cells did not contain the structures found in plant cells, like a cell wall or chloroplasts. - The absence of these structures suggests that the cells are not plant cells, providing further support for her conclusion that they are animal cells.

3. The cells did not contain structures for movement like those found in unicellular organisms. - This observation suggests that the cells are not from unicellular organisms that typically have movement structures, aligning with her conclusion of observing animal cells.

So, the best evidence from her observations would be the second, third, and fourth options.
