What type of cells are adapted to perform a specific function?

• All cells

• Animal cells

• Plant cells

• Specialised cells

How is a plant root hair cell adapted for absorbing water from the soil efficiently?

• It has many chloroplasts

• It has lots of mitochondria

• It has a large surface area

• It has a large vacuole

Suggest the job of a cell that has lots of folds on its surface, giving it a large surface area

• Absorption

• Movement

• Protection

• Secretion

Which structure in a plant cell would you not find in a root hair cell?

• Cell wall

• Chloroplast

• Vacuole

• Cell membrane

What cell is this?

• Animal cell

• Plant cell

What is present in plant cells but not in animal cells?

• Vacoules

• Cell membrane

• Nucleus

• Chloroplast

Fluid inside the cell that contains all other organelles. Chemical reactions take place here.

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• vacuole

Strong outer layer of plant cells made from cellulose which supports and strengthens the cell.

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• vacuole

Organelle where genetic material is stored. It controls the activities of the cell.

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• vacuole

Organelle in plant cell that contains a solution of sugar and salts, known as the cell sap. Stores water and helps keep the cell firm
