Identifying a Cell from Its Organelles

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

This capstone identifies whether an unlabeled microscope sample is prokaryotic, an animal cell, or a plant cell, using only the organelles and structures visible in the image.

Watch for

No single organelle decides a classification alone — a wall, a nucleus, and a chloroplast each rule out different possibilities, and only together do they pin down one category.
