Each time water in a cell freezes slowly,long sharp crystals spear through the membrane structures of the cell.The most reasonable explanation for the bad taste of meat that has "freezer burn" from repeated freezing is the destruction of

Question 6

The body of a slime mold that flows over a rotten log appears to lack any partitioning into distinct cells; however it does become cellular when it changes form and produces spores.The surfaces of parasitic flatworms and some insect tissues are "syncytial" layers of living material that developed from a single cell but now contains many nuclei but lack partitioning by cell membranes.These tissues actively consume food and produce wastes.Considering that the cell theory states that "all living things are composed of cells," then

Accepted Answer

A)  these tissues are not living because they violate the cell theory.
B)  this proves some vital force is involved beyond normal cell structures in order to give life to living organisms.
C)  these tissues are obviously a bridge between nonliving and primitive living cells.
D)  the general concept of life-is-cellular still holds since sometime in their life these organisms still utilize cells,but this shows cell membranes can be abandoned.
E)  this demonstrates that cell membranes are a necessity to be classified as a living cell.F) B) and E)
G) C) and D)
