You are a scientist observing cells with several, small vacuoles. What type of cells would you conclude they are? Plant or animal?
animal cells because plant cells have one large, central vacuole
15
You are a scientist observing cells that ALL contain cell membrane and each has a cell wall. What type of cells would you conclude they are? Plant or animal?
plant cell because animal cells don't have a cell wall
15
You are a scientist observing cells that contain chloroplasts. What type of cells would you conclude they are? Plant or animal?
plant cell because only plant cells contain chloroplasts
