Students view two different cells under a microscope. They record their observations in the table shown. Based on the organelles observed, the students determine that cell 2 is a plant cell because it has an organelle that ​ (a)  

• produces its own food

• allows water to enter and exit the cell

• contains genetic information

• stores water and nutrients
