You are a biologist looking at samples of pond water. Using a microscope to investigate your samples, you identify a cell with a nucleus. Briefly explain how you know immediately that this is not a prokaryote. Additionally, without further investigation, would you be able to determine if it was a plant or an animal cell?

Answer:

You know it's not a prokaryote, because prokaryotes do not have a nucleus. You would not be able to determine if it was a plant or animal cell without further investigation because both have a nucleus.

Plant cells do have organelles that animals cells don't such as chloroplasts and cell walls, but you would have to investigate further.
