Final answer:

In a series circuit, all the parts are connected along the same pathway, with the same current flowing through each resistor, but with different voltage drops across them.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a series circuit, all of the parts - the power source, wires, and resistors - are connected along the same pathway, creating a single closed loop for the current to flow through. This means that the current passing through each component is the same, hence each resistor in a series circuit has the same amount of current flowing through it.

However, the voltage drop, or power dissipation, across each individual resistor in a series is different. The combined total of these voltage drops adds up to the voltage supplied by the power source.

Therefore, the statement is TRUE - all of the parts of a series circuit are connected along the same pathway.
