Question

ariana garcia apontes practice p.6 compare cells and cell parts select all the true statements. the nucleus of an animal cell contains the chromosomes but not the lysosomes. animal cells do not have chromosomes, but plant cells can have them. plant cells do not have vacuoles, but animal cells can have them. both the chromosomes and the vacuoles are outside the nucleus of plant cells.

Explanation:

To determine the true statements, we analyze each one:

1. "The nucleus of an animal cell contains the chromosomes but not the lysosomes."

• Chromosomes are in the nucleus (they carry genetic info). Lysosomes are organelles in the cytoplasm (not in the nucleus). This is true.

1. "Animal cells do not have chromosomes, but plant cells can have them."

• Both animal and plant cells have chromosomes (they contain DNA). So this is false.

1. "Plant cells do not have vacuoles, but animal cells can have them."

• Plant cells have large central vacuoles, and animal cells can have small vacuoles. So this is false.

1. "Both the chromosomes and the vacuoles are outside the nucleus of plant cells."

• Chromosomes are inside the nucleus (in plant cells, the nucleus holds genetic material). Vacuoles are in the cytoplasm (outside the nucleus). So chromosomes are not outside the nucleus—this is false.

• Analyzed each statement against cell structure knowledge (nucleus, chromosomes, lysosomes, vacuoles in animal/plant cells).
• Only the first statement is true.

Answer:

The true statement is: "The nucleus of an animal cell contains the chromosomes but not the lysosomes." (The other statements are false.)
