Cells Yeast Human Insect Tube Problem Bacterial Identify

Front Problem: One tube contains bacterial cells, one contains yeast cells, one contains human cells and the last contains insect cells. Can you identify the cells from each tube if you are given a light microscope?
Back - The prokaryotic bacteria would not have a nucleus, the other cell types would.


- The yeast cell wall would distinguish yeast (plant) cells from human and insect (animal) cells.


- Distinguishing human and insect cells with a simple microscope may not be possible, as the two are very similar.
