B. Cells cannot process energy.
C. Cells cannot remove wastes.
D. Cells cannot absorb food.
E. Cells cannot make proteins.

Answer 1

Answer: Option A is the correct option.

Cell cannot divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cell cannot divide if centriole is impaired because centriole is cylindrical tube like organelle that is found in eukaryotic cells and it is made up of microtubules and this centrioles help in cell division by cause the chromosomes to separate. They are located close to the nucleus and help in cell division. Therefore, if the centriole is impaired, it will not be able to facilitate cell division since it's ability to to form spindle fiber which separate chromosomes .
