Which of these is not true of cells? a. they are much like empty rooms. b. they were first discovered in the 1600s. c. they can be found in pond water. d. they contain a huge array of working parts.

The following is NOT true of cells: They are much like empty rooms.  Correct A

In contrast, cell is enclosed by a plasma membrane and the interior of the cell is organized into many specialized compartments, or organelles.

The nucleus of the cell contains the genetic information necessary for cell growth and reproduction.

Option A (they are much like empty rooms) is NOT true for cells.

Further Explanation:

In addition to being the structural and functional unit of life, the cell is also the smallest unit of organization of any living organism each plants and animals.

The cell contains many differently functional organelles within itself. These organelles are principally membrane-bound as an example, the nucleus, Golgi body, ribosome, mitochondria, etc. The DNA is contained that is contained in the nucleus is important for the passing on of parental characters from one generation to another. The Golgi body helps within the packaging of proteins. The ribosome is the site of protein synthesis and the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

The fluid-like substance present everywhere within the cell is named the cytoplasm. All the organelles are present within the cytoplasm. The intracellular half is separated from the extracellular half by the membrane known as the cell wall, there may be the presence of cell membrane ONLY in case of a plant cell. so, it's NOT an empty area.  

Thus, the cells aren't in any respect like empty rooms.
