Lab: Diffusion Across a Semi-permeable Membrane — Unit test

Question 9 • HVA 26-27 IM Biology A

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

Explanation

Chloroplasts are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells, so their presence identifies the cell as eukaryotic. DNA, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane occur in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, so those features alone do not distinguish them. The best choice is that the cell is eukaryotic because it has chloroplasts.
