Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How would one differentiate between a prokaryotic cell, plant cell and an animal cell found at a crime scene.
Concept introduction:
The observation of differences in the structure of different cells can help determining their type. This can be done with the help of a light microscope and observing the cells at different magnifications.

Suppose you find a sample of cells at a crime scene. What criteria might you use to determine if the cells are from prokaryotes, plants, or animals?
What must be the reason why prokaryotes are often called simple cells while eukaryotes as complex cells? Expound the answer. (please do not copy paste explanation from the internet,thank you)
We will perform a gram stain on our samples, so be sure to bring your instructions on gram staining.
Will this procedure stain all cells?
A. Yes, all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells will be stained purple or pink.
B. All prokaryotic cells will be stained.
Eukaryotic cells will not be stained.
C.Mycobacteria and a few other groups with special cell wall structures will not be stained.
All other prokaryotic cells will be stained.
Eukaryotic cells will be stained pink.
D. Mycobacteria and a few other groups with special cell wall structures will not be stained.
All other prokaryotic cells will be stained.
Eukaryotic cells will be stained purple.
