Cell Biology: Parts of the cell.
Animal cells are different from plant cells and fungal cells because they don't have a cell wall or chloroplasts. However, they have all of the other organelles and parts present in other eukaryotic cells.
As we can see in this diagram of an animal cell, they have a nucleus (where the genetic material is), mitochondria (which breaks down the sugar into energy), endoplasmic reticulum (which folds proteins), Golgi apparatus (which modifies and distributes proteins) and, of course, a cell membrane that contains the cytoplasm and all the organelles.
Now, let's compare this information with the statements:
ā¢ Statement a, is true, we can see in the diagram that the mitochondria is found in the cytoplasm.
,
ā¢ Statement b is false because animal cells have both the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum.
,
ā¢ Statement c is false because the mitochondria is the organelle that breaks down sugars.
