Animal Cell vs Plant Cell

Front

What is a chloroplast?

Back

A chloroplast is an organelle found in plant cells that is responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

Front

What type of cell contains chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy (ATP) through cellular respiration in both plant and animal cells.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is a protective barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell, found in both plant and animal cells.

Front

What is a cell wall?

Back

A cell wall is a rigid outer layer that provides support and protection to plant cells, not found in animal cells.

Front

What is the main difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is a vacuole?

Back

A vacuole is a storage organelle in cells; plant cells typically have one large central vacuole, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles.

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the organelle that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within the cell membrane that contains organelles and is the site of many cellular processes.

Front

What type of cell has a large central vacuole?

Back

Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole that stores water and maintains turgor pressure.
