Question

a unicellular organism called a protist
skin cells of a frog, a multicellular organism
which of the following statements are true about the organisms shown in the micrographs above? select all that apply.
the bacterium has many cells, and the frog has only one cell.
the cells of the protist and the bacterium are the same shape.
the bean plant is made up of cells but the frog is not.
the protist has one cell, and the bean plant has many cells.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each statement:

• "The bacterium has many cells, and the frog has only one cell": Incorrect. Bacteria (and the protist shown) are unicellular (one cell), frogs are multicellular (many cells).
• "The cells of the protist and the bacterium are the same shape": Incorrect. Protists (e.g., the shown unicellular organism) and bacteria have different cell structures and shapes.
• "The bean plant is made up of cells but the frog is not": Incorrect. All living organisms, including plants (bean) and animals (frog), are made of cells.
• "The protist has one cell, and the bean plant has many cells": Correct. Protists are unicellular (one - celled), and bean plants are multicellular (many - celled).

Answer:

The protist has one cell, and the bean plant has many cells.
