Sagot :

Answer: C. Cells grow and reproduce.

"All cells grow and reproduce. Eukaryotic cells reproduce through mitosis and meiosis, while prokaryotes reproduce through binary fission."  

Explanation:

A. "Some essential nutrients are required for cellular function but cannot be produced by the animal body. These include vitamins, minerals, some fatty acids, and some amino acids. Food intake in more than necessary amounts is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscle cells, and in fat cells."

B. "Chloroplasts and mitochondria are subcellular bioenergetic organelles with their own genomes and genetic systems. DNA replication and transmission to daughter organelles produces cytoplasmic inheritance of characters associated with primary events in photosynthesis and respiration."

D. "Instead of cells, a non-living thing is made up of elements or compounds that form from chemical reactions. Examples of non-living things are rocks, water, and air."
