Miguel is looking at cells through a microscope. His teacher, Mrs. Sheng, has told him he is either viewing a plant or animal cell. Read the information above, Mrs. Sheng would like Migues to figure out what what cell he is viewing. What cell structures should Miguel be looking for to determine if the cell came from a tomato plant or a animal cell?
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplasts
C
Ribosomes
D
DNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal cells are mostly round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes. Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic cells, so they have several features in common, such as the presence of a cell membrane, and cell organelles, like the nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-3: -In animal cells, you’ll see a round shape with an outer cell membrane and no cell wall. Plant cells will look green, due to round structures called chloroplasts, and will have a thick cell wall outside their cell membrane and be arranged in a grid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Place the glass slide onto the stage. Be careful pushing it under the clips that the cover slide doesn’t move or crack. Turn the coarse focus knob slowly until you are able to see the cells. Turn the fine focus knob slowly until the cells are in focus and you can see them clearly.
