Plant and Animal Cells

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

• To provide protection and support to the plant cell.

• To facilitate photosynthesis in the cell.

• To store nutrients and waste products.

• To regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

What do vacuoles do in plant cells?

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

• Provide structural support to the cell.

• Conduct photosynthesis in the chloroplasts.

• Transport nutrients throughout the plant.

What is the control center of the cell called?

• Cell membrane

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosome

What is the purpose of mitochondria in cells?

• To produce energy through cellular respiration

• To store genetic information

• To synthesize proteins

• To regulate cell division

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 and more complex 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.

What is the role of the cell membrane?

• The cell membrane acts as a barrier between the cell and its environment, controlling what goes in and out of the cell.

• The cell membrane provides structural support to the cell and helps maintain its shape.

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

• The cell membrane facilitates the movement of genetic material during cell division.

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 is photosynthesis?

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

• Photosynthesis is the process by which animals convert food into energy.

• Photosynthesis is the method by which plants absorb nutrients from the soil.

• Photosynthesis is the way in which plants reproduce sexually.

What are organelles?

• Organelles are the basic units of life.

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

• Organelles are the building blocks of proteins.

• Organelles are the outer membrane of a cell.

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

• Plant cells are round and 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.

• Plant cells are irregularly shaped and animal cells are boxy.

• Both plant and animal cells have the same shape.
