Which two structures would provide a positive identification of a plant cell under a microscope?

Question

Question 1 options:

large central vacuole, flagellum

chloroplast, large central vacuole

cytoskeleton, cell wall

endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplasts

Answer 1

To positively identify a plant cell under a microscope, you would look for structures that are characteristic of plant cells. The two structures that clearly indicate a plant cell are:

Chloroplast, large central vacuole

Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis and are a defining feature of plant cells, while the large central vacuole plays a critical role in maintaining turgor pressure and storing substances.
