keeps the organelles inside of the cell

responsible for directing the activities of a cell

19.

Choose the statement below that is TRUE.

a)

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

b)

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