Question

You have to choose an organism that can be shown to a bunch of students as an independent living cell. Which of the following would you use?

• A. An amoeba
• B. A plant cell
• C. An animal cell
• D. Cheek cell

Answer 1

The correct option is A

An amoeba

Amoeba, euglena and paramoecium are examples of single-celled organisms. These organisms are made of a single cell capable of carrying out all their life processes. A plant cell, animal cell and a cheek cell are all parts of a multicellular organism and are not independent organisms.
