Question

select all the true statements.
the nucleus of an animal cell contains the chromosomes but not the lysosomes.
animal cells have cytoplasm, but plant cells do not.
both plant and animal cells can have chloroplasts.
both plant and animal cells can have mitochondria.

Explanation:

• Both plant and animal cells can have mitochondria: Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, responsible for producing ATP (energy). Both plant and animal cells need energy for various cellular processes, so they both have mitochondria.
• Animal cells have cytoplasm, but plant cells do not: This is incorrect. Both plant and animal cells have cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is the jelly - like substance within the cell membrane where all the organelles are suspended.
• The nucleus of an animal cell contains the chromosomes but not the lysosomes: The nucleus contains chromosomes (genetic material). Lysosomes are membrane - bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They are not part of the nucleus but are present in the cytoplasm of animal cells.
• Both plant and animal cells can have chloroplasts: Chloroplasts are specific to plant cells (and some algae). They are responsible for photosynthesis. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts as they do not perform photosynthesis.

Answer:

Both plant and animal cells can have mitochondria.
