Question

select all the true statements. plant cells do not have chloroplasts, but animal cells can have them. the nucleus of an animal cell contains the chromosomes but not the vacuoles. in plant cells, mitochondria make sugar using sunlight, and chloroplasts break down the sugar to release energy. both the chromosomes and the vacuoles are inside the nucleus of plant cells.

Explanation:

• Plant cells do not have chloroplasts, but animal cells can have them: This is false. Plant cells have chloroplasts (for photosynthesis), animal cells do not.
• The nucleus of an animal cell contains the chromosomes but not the vacuoles: True. The nucleus contains chromosomes (genetic material), vacuoles are usually not in animal cells (or very small), while plant cells have large vacuoles.
• In plant cells, mitochondria make sugar using sunlight, and chloroplasts break down the sugar to release energy: False. Chloroplasts make sugar (photosynthesis), mitochondria break down sugar (cellular respiration).
• Both the chromosomes and the vacuoles are inside the nucleus of plant cells: False. Chromosomes are in the nucleus, vacuoles are in the cytoplasm.

Answer:

The nucleus of an animal cell contains the chromosomes but not the vacuoles.
