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)

Question

Responses

nucleus

endoplasmic reticulum

chloroplasts

cell wall

central vacuole

Answer 1

The three answer choices that would indicate the organism is a plant, not an animal, are:

1. Chloroplasts - These organelles are involved in photosynthesis and are found in plant cells.
2. Cell wall - Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, which is not present in animal cells.
3. Central vacuole - Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole that helps maintain cell turgor pressure and stores substances.

The other options, nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum, are found in both plant and animal cells.
