Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of a cell wall and chromosomes but no nucleus indicates that the cell is a prokaryotic cell. Bacteria are the only prokaryotic cells among the answer choices, and therefore the correct answer is C, a bacterium recovered from the large intestine of a mammal. Human muscle cells and skin cells from potatoes are eukaryotic cells and possess a nucleus, while cells from the leaf of a maple tree are also eukaryotic and possess both a nucleus and a cell wall made of cellulose.
