have a life span of at least one week.
CELL TEST REVIEW
An organism called euglena is represented by the diagram. The euglena can be classified as eukaryotic

Part A, which allows the cell to turn sunlight into food
B
Part B, which allows the cell to move itself from place to place
C
Part C, which is centrally located and stores genetic material
D
Part D, which allows the organism to store of water
A characteristic which differentiates eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic cells is eukaryotic cells have –

a cell membrane that controls the flow of materials in and out of the cell.
B
genetic material (DNA) which controls the cell’s activities.
C
a jelly-like substance called cytoplasm that holds the organelles.
D
a centrally located nucleus that contains the DNA of the cell.
