Question

A scientist at the polar ice cap was studying an ice sample from hundreds of meters below the surface. While examining the ice, the scientist found some cells from many years ago. Using an electron microscope, the scientist identified these cell structures: a cytoskeleton, mitochondrion, nucleus, cell wall, and ribosomes. What kind of organism did the scientist find?

Question 18 options:

animal

bacteria

plant

He did not have enough information.

Answer 1

The correct option is C) Plants

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is false because the cell cannot be an animal cell. This is because an animal cell does not possess a cell wall.

Option B is false because the cell cannot be a bacterial cell. This is because a bacterial cell does not have a nucleus. Their genetic material is dispersed inside the cytoplasm.

Option C is correct because all the organelles, a cytoskeleton, mitochondrion, nucleus, cell wall, and ribosomes, are present inside the plant cells.
