Question
A cell is a unit of the organism bounded by a plasma membrane and processing a: a. nucleus, protoplasm b. organism, protoplasm c. protoplasm, nucleus d. protoplasm, organism
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
A basic definition of a cell is a unit of life bounded by a plasma membrane, containing protoplasm (the living substance), and typically possessing a nucleus (in eukaryotes) or a nucleoid region (in prokaryotes). The phrasing 'processing a protoplasm, nucleus' fits this classic description.
Hint
Think of the two main components inside the cell's boundary: the living material and the control center.
