Exploring Plant and Animal Cells

What is one main structural difference between plant and animal cells?

• Plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have chloroplasts, while plant cells do not.

• Plant cells have a nucleus, while animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have a large central vacuole, while plant cells do not.

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

How do vacuoles in plant cells differ from those in animal cells?

• Plant cell vacuoles are smaller and more numerous.

• Animal cell vacuoles are larger and store more water.

• Plant cell vacuoles are larger and help maintain cell structure.

• Animal cell vacuoles are involved in photosynthesis.

What is the primary function of the mitochondria in both plant and animal cells?

• To store genetic information

• To produce energy in the form of ATP

• To synthesize proteins

• To conduct photosynthesis

Which organelle is responsible for protein synthesis in both plant and animal cells?

• Golgi apparatus

• Ribosome

• Lysosome

• Endoplasmic reticulum

What is the role of the cell membrane in both plant and animal cells?

• To provide structural support

• To control the movement of substances in and out of the cell

• To conduct photosynthesis

• To store nutrients

Which organelle is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins in both plant and animal cells?

• Nucleus

• Golgi apparatus

• Chloroplast

• Vacuole

What is the function of the nucleus in both plant and animal cells?

• To produce energy

• To store and protect genetic material

• To synthesize lipids

• To transport materials

Which structure is found in plant cells but not in animal cells and is responsible for maintaining cell shape and protecting the cell?

• Cell membrane

• Cell wall

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

What is the primary function of lysosomes in animal cells?

• To conduct photosynthesis

• To digest and break down waste materials

• To store water and nutrients

• To produce proteins
