Answer 1

Muscle cells and bone cells are distinct cell types with different functions, but they do have some similarities. Based on the options you've provided, the most relevant similarity is:

**Both make it possible for you to respond to your environment by moving.**

Muscle cells are responsible for contraction and movement, while bone cells play a structural role that supports muscle function and overall movement.

The other statements listed do not accurately represent a similarity between muscle and bone cells:

- They do not both control involuntary movements; muscle cells can be voluntary (skeletal muscle) or involuntary (cardiac and smooth muscle), but bone cells do not have this function.
- Neither type of cell releases sweat; that function is related to sweat gland cells.
- Bone cells do not gather information; that role is more applicable to nerve cells.

So, the best comparison regarding similarities is in their collective contribution to movement.
