You can tell that the cells you're observing are animal cells because you do not see which of the following?

A. A cell wall and chloroplasts
B. A cell membrane and chloroplasts
C. A nucleus in a cell wall
D. A nucleus and a cell membrane

Animal cells can be identified by the absence of a cell wall and chloroplasts. Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose which provides structure to the plant, and chloroplasts that allow for photosynthesis. Animal cells do not have either of these structures. However, both animal and plant cells have a nucleus and cytoplasm.

Animal cells can be identified by the absence of a cell wall and chloroplasts, which are present in plant cells. Therefore, the correct answer is option A: A cell wall and chloroplasts. Both cell types have a nucleus and cell membrane, which are not distinguishing features.
