Of the three cells that you observed under the microscope, there were some similarities between the cells. 

Which of the following do all three cells (plant, bacteria, and animal) have in common?

Select all choices that apply. 

• plasma membrane (aka cell membrane)

• cytosol (cytoplasm)

Which of the cells were prokarytoic? 

Select all choices that apply. 

bacteria cell

Which of the cells were eukaryotic?

Select all choices that apply. 

• cheek cell

• elodea leaf

• onion cell

How do you know which cells were eukaryotic?

Meaning, what was the most distinguishing feature that the eukaryotic cells had that the prokaryotic cells did not have.  

Select all choices that apply.

if the cell had a nucleus

The Elodea leaf cell that you observed had a structure that the other cells did not, called a chloroplast. 

What is this organelle used for?

making sugars that the cell can use for energy

True or False: 

You did not observe a chloroplast in the cheek cell slide because this particular organelle was too small to view in this cell. 

false
