Question

select all the true statements. plant cells do not have chromosomes, but animal cells can have them. the cytoplasm of plant cells has mitochondria, vacuoles, and chloroplasts. animal cells do not have chloroplasts, but plant cells can have them. the cell membrane and cell wall separate a plant cell from its surroundings.

Explanation:

• Plant cells do not have chromosomes, but animal cells can have them: This is false. Both plant and animal cells have chromosomes as they are essential for storing genetic information.
• The cell membrane and cell wall separate a plant cell from its surroundings: This is true. The cell membrane (selectively permeable) and cell wall (rigid, provides structure) work together to define the plant cell's boundary.
• Animal cells do not have chloroplasts, but plant cells can have them: This is true. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis and are specific to plant cells (and some protists).
• The cytoplasm of plant cells has mitochondria, vacuoles, and chloroplasts: This is true. Mitochondria (energy production), vacuoles (storage, maintaining turgor), and chloroplasts (photosynthesis) are all present in plant cell cytoplasm.

Answer:

• The cell membrane and cell wall separate a plant cell from its surroundings.
• Animal cells do not have chloroplasts, but plant cells can have them.
• The cytoplasm of plant cells has mitochondria, vacuoles, and chloroplasts.
