You are a scientist working in a research lab. You receive a new cell specimen that you must examine under a microscope. After staining the cell to highlight its structures and
examining it under a microscope, you notice a small, dark circle in the center of the cell.
Next, you measure the cell and determine that it is 100 um long. Finally, you learn that
the sample was taken from a recently discovered animal species. Use this information to
answer the question below.
Would you classify the mystery cell as a prokaryote or a eukaryote? Explain. Your
reasoning should be based off of the characteristics of prokaryotes and
eukaryotes that you learned in class this week.
