If the cell is known to be round and incapable of reproducing its own food, it is likely a type of eukaryotic cell, such as an animal cell or certain types of protists. Since the cell cannot produce its own food through photosynthesis or other means, it must have organelles that enable it to obtain and process nutrients from its environment.
One key organelle that you would assume the cell must have is the mitochondrion (plural: mitochondria). Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they are responsible for producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration, which is essential for energy metabolism. This process allows the cell to utilize the nutrients it absorbs from its environment.
Additionally, if this cell were part of a protist or plant-like cell that can't photosynthesize, it might also have a lysosome to help digest nutrients obtained from the environment. However, the presence of mitochondria is a primary assumption for energy acquisition in such cells.
