Question

If a cell was observed under the microscope and found to have a rigid cell wall and be green in color that cell is most likely a animal cell plant cell bacterium cell algae cell

Answer 1

Answer: The cell under the microscope is most likely to be plant cell or an algal cell.

Green plants and algae contain a green pigment called chlorophyll that helps in synthesizing food by absorbing sunlight. They also have a rigid cell wall ( mainly made up of cellulose) that provides them structural strength.

Bacteria and animals do not have chlorophyll.

Answer 2

If the cell is green, that would mean that it contains the pigment of chlorophyll (suggesting that it is a plant cell). In addition, a rigid cell wall means the cell is part of a stronger structure, so it is likely a plant cell.
