Question

leaf cells of a bean plant, a multicellular organism
a unicellular organism called a bacterium
a unicellular organism called a protist
skin cells of a frog, a multicellular organism
which of the following statements are true about the organisms shown in the micrographs above? select all that apply.
the bean plant is made up of cells but the frog is not.
the bacterium has many cells, and the frog has only one cell.
the cells of the protist and the bacterium are the same shape.
the protist has one cell, and the bean plant has many cells.

Explanation:

• All living organisms are made of cells. The bean plant and the frog are multicellular, so the statement "The bean plant is made up of cells but the frog is not" is false.
• Bacteria are unicellular, and frogs are multicellular. So the statement "The bacterium has many cells, and the frog has only one cell" is false.
• Protists and bacteria have different cell shapes. So the statement "The cells of the protist and the bacterium are the same shape" is false.
• Protists can be unicellular (as shown in the micrograph), and bean plants are multicellular. So the statement "The protist has one cell, and the bean plant has many cells" is true.

Answer:

The protist has one cell, and the bean plant has many cells.
