Animal and Plant Cells

What is the main difference between animal cells and plant cells?

• Animal cells have a cell wall, while plant cells do not.

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

• Animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts, while plant cells do.

• Animal cells are larger than plant cells.

What is the significance of chlorophyll in chloroplasts?

• Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis.

• Chlorophyll is responsible for the color of the chloroplasts.

• Chlorophyll helps in the absorption of water in plants.

• Chlorophyll is involved in the respiration process of plants.

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

• Involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

• Responsible for energy production in the cell.

• Acts as a storage site for genetic material.

• Facilitates cell division and replication.

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

• It synthesizes DNA and RNA.

• It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

• It generates ATP through cellular respiration.

• It serves as the site of protein synthesis.

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplasts

• Nucleus

• Ribosomes

What is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?

• Store nutrients and waste products

• Help in photosynthesis

• Provide structural support

• Regulate water intake

What structure provides support and protection to plant cells?

• Cell membrane

• Cell wall

• Nucleus

• Chloroplast

How do plant cells differ in shape compared to animal cells?

• Plant cells are typically round, while animal cells are rectangular.

• Plant cells typically have a more rigid, rectangular shape due to the cell wall, while animal cells are more varied in shape.

• Plant cells are always larger than animal cells, regardless of shape.

• Animal cells have a fixed shape, while plant cells can change shape easily.

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

• Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating energy through cellular respiration.

• Mitochondria are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

• Mitochondria help in the detoxification of harmful substances in the cell.

• Mitochondria are involved in the storage of genetic information.

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

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Ribosome
