Answer:

The organism is not a bacterium since it contains chloroplasts and nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacterial cells and prokaryotes do not contain a well defined nucleus and do not possess other membrane bound organelles. They usually have a single chromosome which contains circular DNA. They do not possess chloroplasts.

Chloroplasts are present in eukaryotic plant cells which help in the process of photosynthesis. They help absorb sunlight and contain the pigment chlorophyll.

The student is examining a eukaryotic cell.
