Question

cells can be represented by a type of model called a cell diagram. scientists use cell diagrams to show the parts that make up a cell. cell diagrams usually show one cell, even if the cell is from a multicellular organism.
the images below show a micrograph and a cell diagram of yeast, a unicellular fungus. compare the micrograph to the cell diagram, then answer the question.
which of the following statements are true? select all that apply.
the yeast cell diagram represents a yeast cell of the same type as the cell shown in the micrograph.
the nucleus in the yeast cell diagram is the same color as the nucleus in the yeast cell micrograph.
both the micrograph and the diagram show that a yeast cell has cell parts that are orange.
cell diagrams can be used to represent cells from both unicellular and multicellular organisms.

Explanation:

• The first statement is true because the diagram is of a yeast cell, same type as in micrograph (both yeast cells).
• The second statement is false as nucleus in micrograph is black and in diagram is yellow.
• The third statement is false as micrograph is in grayscale (no orange parts shown).
• The fourth statement is true as cell diagrams can represent any cell type (unicellular or multicellular) as per the initial text ("Cell diagrams usually show one cell, even if the cell is from a multicellular organism").

Answer:

The yeast cell diagram represents a yeast cell of the same type as the cell shown in the micrograph.
Cell diagrams can be used to represent cells from both unicellular and multicellular organisms.
