Which statement is TRUE?

• A plant cell has organelles, but an animal cell does not.

• An animal cell has a cell wall, but a plant cell does not.

• A plant cell has chloroplasts, but an animal cell does not.

• Plant and animal cells have membranes, which are the same as cell walls.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• It supports the cells.

• It contains cell organelles.

• It makes food for the cell.

• It controls what enters and leaves the cell.

How can a student distinguish a plant cell from an animal cell?

• if the cell has a cell wall, it must be from a plant.

• If the cell has cytoplasm, it must be from a plant.

• If the cell has a nucleus, it must be from an animal.

• If the cell has a cell membrane, it must be from an animal.

Which statement explains why plant cells have chloroplasts but animals do not?

• Plants reproduce from seeds, but animals do not.

• Plants make their own food from sunlight, but animals do not.

• Animals have bones and muscles for support, but plants do not.

• Animals can move from one place to another, but plants can not.

A scientist plans to make models of three kinds of cells: oak leaf, squirrel muscle, and fern leaf. Which model(s) will have organelles that contains chlorophyll?

• only the fern leaf cell

• only the squirrel muscle cell

• the fern leaf and the oak leaf cell

• the oak leaf cell, the squirrel muscle cell, and the fern leaf cell
