Cells and Cell Theory

A group of students conducted a lab experiment to determine the differences between plant and animal cell features. The teacher did not specify which slides were plant cells and which were animal cells. What knowledge can the students recall to determine these differences?

• the students know that Eukaryotic cells perform tasks for the growth of the cell.

• the students know that plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole where animals do not.

• Students can recall that all cells are the building blocks of life

• The students know that animal cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole whereas plant cells do not.

Which of the following statements are part of the cell theory?

• 1 only

• 2, 3, and 4

• 1, 2, and 4

• 1, 2, 3, and 4
