Four students studied the drawings of a plant cell and an animal cell. Each student made an observation about one of the cells. Which students have chosen the correct explanations?

• Students 1 and 2

• Students 2 and 3

• Students 1 and 3

• Students 2 and 4

Students conducted an investigation in science class today using a microscope to identify the features of two cells. The cells were stained so the organelles were easily seen. Together, they completed a table identifying the organelles seen in each cell. After they completed the table, they were instructed to determine if each cell was from an animal or a plant. Which student correctly identified both cells?

• Fernando says cell A is an animal cell, and cell B is a plant cell.

• Jordan says both cell A and cell B are both plant cells.

• Isabella says cell B is the animal cell, and cell A is the plant cell.

• Kim says both cell A and cell B are animal cells.
