To best support Tamia's claim that she was looking at animal cells, the following observations provide strong evidence:
-
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.
-
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, reinforcing the idea that they are likely animal cells.
-
The cells did not contain structures for movement like those found in unicellular organisms. - This observation supports the notion that these cells are not from unicellular organisms, which often have structures for movement, further pointing towards them being animal cells.
Therefore, the correct responses to support her conclusion are:
- The cells contained structures found in an animal cell like a nucleus and cell membrane.
- The cells did not contain the structures found in plant cells, like a cell wall or chloroplasts.
- The cells did not contain structures for movement like those found in unicellular organisms.
