Question

If you observed a cell under a microscope and saw that it contained a plasma membrane, cell wall, and ribosomes, but no other organelles, what could you conclude?

A. Its an animal cell
B. its a prokaryotic cell
C. its a plant cell

Answer 1

The correct answer to this question is B - if you observed a cell under a microscope and saw that it contained a plasma membrane, cell wall and ribosomes, but no other organelles, you could conclude that it is a prokaryotic cell. Organelles are the structures within cells such as the mitochondria that are not needed within prokaryotic cells.
