Students observe structures in a cell on a microscope slide. The students identified a cell

membrane, a cell wall, and DNA floating freely in the cytoplasm. Based on the students'

observations, which statement below correctly identifies the cell on the microscope slide?

• The cell is a prokaryote because there is a cell wall and a cell membrane.

• The cell is a eukaryote because there is a cell wall and a nucleus.

• The cell is a eukaryote because there is a cell membrane and no nucleus.

• The cell is a prokaryote because there is DNA and no nucleus.
