Students are examining cells from a certain organism under a microscope. They notice mitochondria, a nucleus, chloroplasts, and ribosomes in each cell. What type of cells are they viewing and how do you know?(1 point)

Question

Responses

Prokaryotic cells due to the observation of mitochondria
Prokaryotic cells due to the observation of mitochondria

Animal cells due to the observation of ribosomes
Animal cells due to the observation of ribosomes

Plant cells due to the observation of mitochondria
Plant cells due to the observation of mitochondria

Plant cells due to the observation of chloroplasts
Plant cells due to the observation of chloroplasts

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Plant cells due to the observation of chloroplasts

This indicates that the cells are from a plant organism, as chloroplasts are organelles specific to plant cells and some algae, responsible for photosynthesis. The presence of mitochondria also supports that they are eukaryotic cells (rather than prokaryotic).
