The DNA of a cell is found in the __________.

• mitochondria

• lysosome

• nucleus

• vacuole

Choose the statement below that is TRUE.

• Plant and animal cells both have cell walls so the cell can maintain its shape.

• Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because animals do not require the use of photosynthesis to produce their food.

• Plant cells do not have a nucleus because plants are not living organisms like animals are.

• Animal cells do not have cytoplasm because an animal cell's organelles are free to move around as they please.
