Plant and Animal Cells Quiz

What is a major difference between plant and animal cells in terms of cell structure?

• Plant cells have a cell wall; animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have chloroplasts; plant cells do not.

• Animal cells are generally larger than plant cells.

• Plant cells have multiple nuclei; animal cells have one.

What shape do plant cells generally have?
