A student is comparing the organelles found in the cells of a milkweed plant and in the cells of a butterfly, using the Venn diagram shown below. Where should the student place the terms “chloroplasts” and “mitochondria”?

• Chloroplasts and mitochondria should be placed in the section labeled “Both.”

• Chloroplasts should be placed in the section labeled “Both,” while mitochondria should be placed in the section labeled “Milkweed Plant.”

• Chloroplasts should be placed in the section labeled “Milkweed Plant,” while mitochondria should be placed in the section labeled “Both.”

• Chloroplasts should be placed in the section labeled “Butterfly,” while mitochondria should be placed in the section labeled “Both.”

The diagram below shows a cell. Kevin has to identify the diagram as either a plant cell or an animal cell. Which statement best describes the diagram?

• It is an animal cell because plant cells do not have a nucleus.

• It is a plant cell because plant cells do not contain a cell membrane.

• It is an animal cell because it has a round shape, lacks a cell wall, and has small vacuoles.

• It is a plant cell because it has a round shape, is surrounded by a cell wall, and has chloroplasts.

Why is the absence of a cell wall an advantage for animal cells?

• Animal cells can remain in a fixed position.

• Animal cells are photosynthetic without a cell wall.

• Animal cells have greater protection without a cell wall.

• Animal cells can move more to accomplish necessary life functions.

Which organelle is present in plant cells but absent from animal cells?

• cell membrane

• mitochondrion

• cell wall

• vacuole

Which protects plant and animal cells from outside agents?

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

• vacuole

• nucleus

Which statement best differentiates between an animal and a plant cell?

• An animal cell has a cell wall, while they are absent in a plant cell.

• A plant cell has lysosomes, while they are absent in an animal cell.

• An animal cell has chloroplasts, while they are absent in a plant cell.

• A plant cell has chloroplasts, while they are absent in most animal cells.
