During a class investigation on cells, students observed different cell types using a compound light microscope and prepared slides. An ​ (a)   is a ​ (b)   that has an outermost rigid cell wall and a large vacuole. They appear brick-like in shape. On the other hand, a ​ (c)   is an ​ (d)   having a rounded structure but lacking a cell wall.

The three pieces of Cell Theory are

• 1. All organisms are made of two cells.

  2. the cell is not the basic building block of life.

  3. every cell comes from 2 existing cells

• 1. All organisms are made of cells (one or more). 

  2. The cell is the basic building block of life (in structure and function).

  3. Every cell comes from another existing cell (cells divide to form new cells).
