Question

question 6 of 20 : select the best answer for the question. 6. the recycling truck comes every friday to gather what has been put into the trash cans. this is similar to ______ in eukaryotic cells. a. cytoplasm b. lysosomes c. golgi apparatus d. chromatids mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page) << previous question next question >>

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Cytoplasm is the fluid - like substance in cells where organelles are suspended. It doesn't have a "recycling" function like the recycling truck, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Lysosomes in eukaryotic cells contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, similar to how a recycling truck gathers and processes (in a sense of dealing with waste) trash. This matches the analogy.
• Option C: The Golgi apparatus is mainly involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids. It's not related to waste recycling, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Chromatids are part of a chromosome and are involved in cell division, not waste management. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. lysosomes
