Question

students used a high - powered microscope to look at cells sampled from four different of organisms. they recorded their observations about the cells in a table.
which cell sample most likely came from an animal?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze cell features

Animal cells have a nucleus and mitochondria. They lack chloroplasts (for photosynthesis, plants have them). Also, animals are multicellular (so unicellular is out).

Step2: Evaluate each sample

• Sample A: Has chloroplasts (unlikely animal).
• Sample B: Unicellular (animals are multicellular).
• Sample C: Has nucleus and mitochondria, no chloroplasts, not unicellular (matches animal cell traits).
• Sample D: Lacks mitochondria (essential for animal cell energy - production).

Answer:

Sample C
