Naomi was looking at cells with a microscope. She knows the cells are classified as either plant cells or animal cells. How can she tell if these cells are plant cells?

• She should look for a large nucleus in the center of the cells.

• She should look for cytoplasm that is filled with organelles.

• She should look for a cell membrane surrounding the entire cell.

• She should look for a cell wall outside of the cell membrane.

Which of the following organelles is only found in plant cells?

• Cell membrane

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus
