Four students discussed how the organelles of an animal cell contribute to the process of removing waste. Use their explanations to answer the question below. Student A: When waste is produced by the cell, the nucleus gives instructions for waste removal to occur in the cell. The mitochondria breaks down the waste, the cytoplasm moves the waste from the lysosome to the cell membrane, which releases it from the cell.

Student B: When waste is produced by the cell, the nucleus gives instructions for waste removal to occur in the cell. The lysosome breaks down the waste and the cytoplasm releases it from the cell.

Student C: When waste is produced by the cell, the nucleus gives instructions for waste removal to occur in the cell. The mitochondria breaks down the waste and the cell membrane releases it from the cell.

Student D: When waste is produced by the cell, the nucleus gives instructions for waste removal to occur in the cell. The lysosome breaks down the waste, the cytoplasm allows the waste to move across the cell from the lysosome to the cell membrane, which releases it from the cell.
