Question

all of the following is true about cells, except ______. all cells are the same size and shape; the tiny structures that make up all living things and are the smallest units able to perform life functions; they are the building blocks of life; they are made of parts called organelles

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on cell biology concepts:

• Option 1 (yellow): Cells vary in size and shape (e.g., nerve cells vs. red blood cells), so this statement is false.
• Option 2 (purple): Cells are the smallest units of life and make up all living things, performing life functions—this is true.
• Option 3 (orange): Cells are the building blocks of life—this is a fundamental cell theory concept, true.
• Option 4 (teal): Cells are composed of organelles (e.g., nucleus, mitochondria)—this is true.

The false statement (the exception) is the one about all cells being the same size and shape.

Answer:

A. all cells are the same size and shape
