and chromosomal material that is not found in a nucleus. Based on this information, the cell
could be a
bacterial cell.
cell from a fish.
cell from a cactus.
cell from a mushroom.
cell from a paramecium. - correct answer-bacterial cell.

organism. The best device to do this would be a
light microscope.
magnifying glass.
unaided eye.
dissecting microscope.
