Plant and Animal Cells

What is the function of ribosomes?

• They are responsible for making proteins in the cell.

• They help in the digestion of food.

• They store genetic information.

• They transport oxygen in the blood.

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

• The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and controls the cell's activities.

• The nucleus is responsible for energy production in the cell.

• The nucleus helps in the synthesis of proteins.

• The nucleus regulates the cell's waste disposal.

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do not.

• Prokaryotic cells are larger than eukaryotic cells.

• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do.

• Prokaryotic cells reproduce sexually, while eukaryotic cells reproduce asexually.

Name two structures found in plant cells but not in animal cells.

• Cell wall and chloroplasts

• Mitochondria and ribosomes

• Nucleus and lysosomes

• Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus

What is the function of the cell membrane in terms of homeostasis?

• The cell membrane helps maintain homeostasis by regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

• The cell membrane provides structural support to the cell only.

• The cell membrane is responsible for energy production within the cell.

• The cell membrane acts as a storage unit for nutrients.

What do vacuoles do in plant cells?

• Store food, water, and waste products in plant cells.

• Help in photosynthesis by capturing sunlight.

• Provide structural support to the cell.

• Transport nutrients throughout the plant.

What is the jelly-like substance inside the cell called?

• Cell membrane

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

How do plant cells differ from animal cells in terms of shape?

• Plant cells are round while animal cells are boxy.

• Plant cells have a boxy shape due to the presence of a rigid cell wall, while animal cells are more round or irregular.

• Animal cells have a rigid cell wall, making them boxy.

• Plant cells and animal cells have the same shape.

What is the function of the cell wall in plant cells?

• To provide energy for the cell

• To facilitate photosynthesis

• To provide protection and support to the plant cell

• To store nutrients for the cell

What are organelles?

• Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions.

• Organelles are the outer membranes of cells that protect them from external damage.

• Organelles are the genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell.

• Organelles are the energy-producing components of a cell that generate heat.
