Question 1 • Anatomy & Physiology A

Which of following statements are true? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The human body consists of only eukaryotic cells.
B
Human cells can be both prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
C
The human body consists of eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells.
D
Many of the prokaryotes that live in the body have no noticeable positive or negative effect.

Explanation

Human cells are eukaryotic, but the body also hosts prokaryotes such as bacteria. So the body contains both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, making C true; this does not mean human cells themselves can be prokaryotic, so B is false. Many prokaryotes living in the body are harmless commensals with no noticeable positive or negative effect, making D true.
