Question

identify the statements that are true of cells. (select all that apply.) check all that apply organisms are composed of one or more cells, and the life processes of metabolism and heredity occur in these cells. cells routinely form from nonliving molecules. cells are the smallest living thing, the basic units of organization of all organisms. all living organisms derive from two cells and use metabolism in the cell to sustain life.

Explanation:

• The cell - theory states that organisms are made of one or more cells and life processes like metabolism and heredity occur in cells. Cells are the basic units of life. So the first and third statements are true.
• Cells do not routinely form from non - living molecules as per the principle of biogenesis. The second statement is false.
• All living organisms do not derive from two cells; some are single - celled and others develop from a single cell (zygote) through cell division. The fourth statement is false.

Answer:

Organisms are composed of one or more cells, and the life processes of metabolism and heredity occur in these cells.
Cells are the smallest living thing, the basic units of organization of all organisms.
