Question

get 4 of 5 correct human cells. the cells were formed when other human cells divided. each cell contains parts that work together to carry out processes necessary for life. the cells cannot be represented by models because their structures are too complex. each cell has a cell membrane and a cytoplasm that contains cell parts.

Explanation:

To determine the incorrect statement about human cells, we analyze each option:

1. "The cells were formed when other human cells divided."

This is correct. Human cells reproduce via cell division (e.g., mitosis for somatic cells, meiosis for gametes).

1. "Each cell contains parts that work together to carry out processes necessary for life."

This is correct. Cells have organelles (e.g., nucleus, mitochondria) that collaborate to perform life-sustaining functions (e.g., energy production, protein synthesis).

1. "The cells cannot be represented by models because their structures are too complex."

This is incorrect. Scientists use models (e.g., 3D models, diagrams, computer simulations) to represent cell structures, even for complex cells. Models simplify or illustrate key features to aid understanding.

1. "Each cell has a cell membrane and a cytoplasm that contains cell parts."

This is correct. All human cells have a cell membrane (to regulate transport) and cytoplasm (a gel-like substance housing organelles).

Answer:

The cells cannot be represented by models because their structures are too complex.
