Question 14 • Biology

A scientist discovers a cell that has chloroplasts, cytoplasm, DNA, and a cell membrane. Which statement best describes how the cell could be classified?

Answer
A
The cell is eukaryotic because it has chloroplasts.
B
The cell is prokaryotic because it has cytoplasm.
C
The cell is prokaryotic because it has DNA.
D
The cell is eukaryotic because it has a cell membrane.

Explanation

Chloroplasts are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells, such as plant cells and some algae. A cell membrane, cytoplasm, and DNA are also found in prokaryotic cells, so those features alone do not establish that a cell is eukaryotic. The best classification is eukaryotic because it has chloroplasts.
