Plant and Animal Cells Quiz

Which part of both plant and animal cells controls what enters and exits the cell?

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Membrane

• Cell Wall

What is the jelly-like substance inside both plant and animal cells that holds organelles in place?

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Chloroplast

• Membrane

Look at the two diagrams below. Which shows a plant cell?

• Diagram 1 because it has chloroplasts.

• Diagram 1 because it is has a round shape.

• Diagram 2 because it has a nucleus.

• Diagram 2 because it has a rectangular/box-like shape.

What structures are found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell? Choose ALL that apply.

• Cytoplasm

• Chloroplast

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

• Cell Wall

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

• Produces food for the cell

• Controls the cell's activities

• Holds the cell together

• Provides energy for the cell

Why do plant cells need chloroplasts?

• To control the cell's activities

• To protect the cell from harm

• To make food using sunlight

• To give the plant its shape

Why do plant cells have a cell wall, but animal cells do not?

• Plants need extra support to stand upright.

• Animal cells do not need protection.

• Animal cells already have chloroplasts for structure.

• Plant cells use the cell wall for photosynthesis.

The cell membrane is like:

• A vacuum, because it cleans up waste.

• A power plant, because it creates energy.

• A library, because it stores information.

• A fence, because it controls what can enter or leave.

The cytoplasm in a cell is like:

• A car, because it transports nutrients.

• The water in a swimming pool, because it holds and supports everything inside.

• A house, because it protects the cell.

• A chef, because it makes food.

Chloroplasts are like:

• A light bulb, because they produce light.

• A fan, because they cool things down.

• A garden, because they use sunlight to grow and produce food.

• A backpack, because they carry things.
