Maria who is a student of Biotechnology class was
observing a cell using a microscope. The cell she
observing has the following characteristics: it has a
visible dark rounded body which is peripherally located
on the side of the cell, there is a large organelle that
almost occupy the whole cell, there are green oval-shaped
bodies scattered and the shape of the cell is rectangular.
What kind of cell was being observed by Maria? Explain
your answer.
