Question

ariana garcia apontes practice r.6 compare cells and cell parts select all the true statements. animal cells have cytoplasm, but plant cells do not. the nucleus of a plant cell contains the chromosomes but not the vacuole. animal cells do not have mitochondria, but plant cells can have them. both chromosomes and vacuoles are inside the nucleus of an animal cell.

Explanation:

To determine the true statements, we analyze each one based on cell biology concepts:

1. "Animal cells have cytoplasm, but plant cells do not."

Both animal and plant cells have cytoplasm (the gel - like substance within the cell). So this statement is false.

1. "The nucleus of a plant cell contains the chromosomes but not the vacuole."

In a plant cell, the nucleus holds chromosomes (genetic material). Vacuoles are separate organelles (usually large and for storage), not inside the nucleus. So this statement is true.

1. "Animal cells do not have mitochondria, but plant cells can have them."

Mitochondria are present in both animal and plant cells (they are the “powerhouses” of the cell, producing energy). So this statement is false.

1. "Both chromosomes and vacuoles are inside the nucleus of an animal cell."

Chromosomes are in the nucleus of an animal cell, but vacuoles in animal cells are small and located in the cytoplasm (not the nucleus). So this statement is false.

Answer:

The only true statement is: "The nucleus of a plant cell contains the chromosomes but not the vacuole."
