wednesday 9/24: identifying different types of cells sep 24 at 8:52pm quiz instructions organelles are like the \little workers\ inside a cell that keep everything running smoothly. each one has a special job - for example, the nucleus can stay balanced and healthy. this balance is called homeostasis, and its what allows the cell (and the whole organism) to survive, grow, and directions: show what you have learned during this lesson, by completing the 18 multiple choice questions that follow. you may use the prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cells organelles as a resource. question 1 while looking through a powerful microscope, you notice a type of one - celled organism you have not seen before. which of the following would help you distinguish the organism as prokaryotic or a eukaryotic? presence of ribosomes presence of a cell membrane presence of membrane - bound organelles (organelles wrapped around a membrane) presence of cilia or flagella

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles while eukaryotic cells have them. Ribosomes are present in both, cell membranes are also present in both, and cilia or flagella can be present in both types too. So the presence of membrane - bound organelles is a key differentiator.

Answer:

C. Presence of membrane - bound organelles (organelles wrapped around a membrane)
