1. You are observing an unlabelled cell through a microscope. What cell parts should you look for to determine whether the cell is that of a plant, animal or bacteria?
A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. In bacteria, after gram staining, the nucleus appears as a large black spot in the center where they are not necessarily surrounded by any membrane.
