Question
select all the true statements.
the cytoplasm of an animal cell has a golgi, endoplasmic reticulum, and chloroplasts.
both plant and animal cells can have a nucleus.
in an animal cell, vacuoles store waste, and lysosomes break down waste.
in an animal cell, the golgi helps ribosomes make proteins, and the endoplasmic reticulum sends proteins to different parts of the cell.
Brief Explanations
- "The cytoplasm of an animal cell has a Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum, and chloroplasts." Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells, not animal cells. So this statement is false.
- "Both plant and animal cells can have a nucleus." Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells, and eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. So this statement is true.
- "In an animal cell, vacuoles store waste, and lysosomes break down waste." In animal cells, lysosomes are responsible for breaking down waste (they contain digestive enzymes), while vacuoles (smaller in animal cells compared to plant cells) can have some storage functions but the main waste - breaking - down organelle is lysosome. So this statement is false.
- "In an animal cell, the Golgi helps ribosomes make proteins, and the endoplasmic reticulum sends proteins to different parts of the cell." Ribosomes make proteins. The endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER, due to ribosomes attached) is involved in protein synthesis and folding. The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins (not helping ribosomes make them). So this statement is false.
