Question

Derek was observing a specimen using a microscope. He observed a single cell on the slide. He noticed it was round in shape, with a nucleus in the middle of the cell, and a structure that the cell could use to move around. Derek concluded he was looking at an animal cell. His lab partner James disagreed and insisted that they were observing a unicellular protist. Who is correct, and which piece of evidence supports the correct claim?  (1 point) Responses  Derek; the cell has a nucleus and cell membrane Derek; the cell has a nucleus and cell membrane  James; the cell was isolated by itself on the slide James; the cell was isolated by itself on the slide  Derek; the cell is round in shape Derek; the cell is round in shape  James; the cell has a structure that allows it to move independently

GPT 3.5 · Answer

Derek is correct. The piece of evidence that supports Derek's claim is that the cell has a nucleus and a cell membrane, which are characteristics of animal cells.

whats the short answer

GPT 3.5 · Answer

Derek is correct. The presence of a nucleus and a cell membrane supports the claim that the cell is an animal cell.

Matthew Farmer · Answer

what is the shorter answer

GPT 3.5 · Answer

Derek is correct.

Matthew Farmer · Answer

is it Derek; the cell is a round shape.

GPT 3.5 · Answer

No, the shorter answer would still be "Derek is correct." The evidence of the cell being round in shape is not sufficient to determine whether it is an animal cell or a unicellular protist.

Matthew Farmer · Answer

why is derek correct

GPT 3.5 · Answer

Derek is correct because the presence of a nucleus and a cell membrane supports the claim that the observed cell is an animal cell. This is a characteristic feature of animal cells, and it distinguishes them from unicellular protists.
