Question

james is making models of plant and animal cells using objects supplied by his teacher to represent organelles. for one cell, he will place the objects in a shoebox. first he fills a balloon with water and places it in the shoe box. he also drops a handful of marbles into the box. which statement most likely describes the structures he has represented so far? he is making an animal cell. the box is the cell membrane, and the balloon represents the large vacuole. the marbles are the endoplasmic reticulum. he is making a plant cell. the box is the cell wall, and the balloon represents the large vacuole. the marbles are the tiny ribosomes. he is making a plant cell. the box is the cell wall, and the balloon represents the nucleus. the marbles are the centrioles. he could be making either a plant or animal cell. the box is the cell wall, and the balloon represents the large vacuole. the marbles are the centrioles.

Explanation:

Plant cells have a cell wall, a large central vacuole. The shoe - box can represent the cell wall, the water - filled balloon can represent the large vacuole, and marbles can represent tiny ribosomes. Animal cells don't have a cell wall and large central vacuole like plant cells. Centrioles are not represented by marbles and are mainly found in animal cells. Endoplasmic reticulum is not represented by marbles.

Answer:

He is making a plant cell. The box is the cell wall, and the balloon represents the large vacuole. The marbles are the tiny ribosomes.
