Question

question 1-6
which of the following statements is not an example of a component of the cell theory?
divide to repair a wound.
cells use flagella and cilia to move.
cell organelles cannot exist outside the cell.
a scientist observes cells in plants and animals under a microscope.

Explanation:

The Cell Theory has three main components: all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and new cells come from pre - existing cells. Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1 (cells divide to repair a wound): This shows new cells coming from pre - existing cells (cell division), so it's part of cell theory.
• Option 2 (Cells use flagella and cilia to move): This is about cell movement mechanisms, not a component of the Cell Theory.
• Option 3 (Cell organelles cannot exist outside the cell): It supports the idea that the cell is the basic unit as organelles need the cell environment, related to cell theory.
• Option 4 (A scientist observes cells in plants and animals under a microscope): This is related to the discovery that all living things (plants and animals) are made of cells, part of cell theory.

Answer:

B. Cells use flagella and cilia to move.
