Question

identify the characteristics of a cell.
check all that apply.
measures 3-500 micrometers
infects all forms of living cells
grows and reproduces
responds to stimuli
contains dna or rna, not both
contains a cell membrane
retry

Explanation:

• Most cells range from 3-500 micrometers in size, which fits this characteristic.
• Infecting living cells is a trait of viruses, not cells themselves.
• Growth and reproduction are core life processes of cells.
• Cells can detect and respond to external stimuli (e.g., movement toward nutrients).
• Cells contain both DNA and RNA; having only one is a viral trait.
• All cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) have a cell membrane (plasma membrane) that encloses their contents.

Answer:

• measures 3-500 micrometers
• grows and reproduces
• responds to stimuli
• contains a cell membrane
