Question 11

Charlie looks at human red blood cells and a plant cell under a microscope. He sees the following in the microscope. What can Charlie tell about the two types of cells by their different shapes?

Accepted Answer

The plant cell performs a different function than human red blood cells.

Answer

Only the human red blood cells have been attacked by a virus.

Answer

The human red blood cells are more important than the plant cell.

Answer

Only the plant cell needs to be supplied with energy to function.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

B. Plant cells have cell walls and animal cells do not.

Answer

A. Plant cells look more orderly than animal cells

Answer

C. Plant cells have nuclei and animal cells do not.

Answer

D. Plant cells are smaller in size than animal cells.

Question 13

Which of the following is NOT correct about the cytoplasm within cells? Mark only one oval.

Accepted Answer

It is only found in animal cells.

Answer

It holds components that help move materials around the cell.

Answer

It helps dissolve cellular wastes.

Answer

It appears as a gel-like liquid surrounding the organelles in the cell.

Question 14

What structure is present in plant cells but NOT in animal cells?

Accepted Answer

chloroplast

Answer

cell membrane

Answer

mitochondria

Answer

nucleus

Question 15

Both the cell membrane and the cell wall act to protect the organelles within a cell. Which of the following BEST describes how the cell membrane is different from the cell wall?

Accepted Answer

The cell wall is only found in plant cells, while the cell membrane is found in plant and animal cells.

Answer

The cell membrane is a single-layered membrane, while the cell wall is a double-layered membrane.

Answer

The cell membrane is made of a tough cellulose fiber, while the cell wall is made of a flexible glycogen fiber.

Answer

The cell membrane only controls what crosses into the cell, and the cell wall only maintains a cell's rigidity.
