Elliptical galaxies can be described by the following two correct statements:
1. **They have a smooth, featureless light profile**: Unlike spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies lack well-defined structures such as arms or disks. They typically appear more uniform and oval in shape, reflecting their smooth distribution of stars.
2. **They contain older stars and less interstellar gas and dust**: Elliptical galaxies are generally composed of older stars and have low levels of star formation. They contain less gas and dust compared to spiral galaxies, which contributes to their characteristics and stellar population.
