Question

the list shows the observations that sarah made while looking at a slide under a microscope.

• each cell looks the same.
• all cells have green ovals in them.
• the cells are not positioned together.
• the cells appear to be moving and working individually.

which does sarah most likely see under the microscope?
a single - celled organisms because each cell contains structures
3 cells of a multi - celled organism because the cells are not positioned together
c cells of a multi - celled organism because all the cells look the same
d single - celled organisms because the cells are functioning individually

Explanation:

• Option A: Single - celled organisms can have structures, but the key observation here is about cell behavior.
• Option B: In multi - celled organisms, cells work together. If cells are moving and working individually (as described in one of the observations), it is more likely a single - celled organism.
• Option C: Cells of a multi - celled organism can have different positions, but the movement and individual working aspect is more relevant.
• Option D: Just because cells look the same doesn't determine if it's single or multi - celled. The movement and working pattern is more important.

Answer:

D. single - celled organisms because the cells are functioning individually
