Cell Organelles and Cell Theory

What is the cell theory?

• All living things are made of cells, and cells are the basic unit of life.

• Cells are the smallest unit of matter in the universe.

• All cells can spontaneously generate from non-living matter.

• Cells are only found in multicellular organisms.

What is the role of vacuoles in a cell?

• Vacuoles are responsible for protein synthesis in cells.

• Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

• Vacuoles are involved in cellular respiration.

• Vacuoles provide structural support to animal cells.

What is the difference between plant and animal cells regarding cell walls?

• Plant cells have a rigid cell wall for structure, while animal cells do not have a cell wall.

• Both plant and animal cells have rigid cell walls.

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

• Plant cells have a cell membrane, while animal cells have a cell wall.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• The cell membrane provides structural support to the cell.

• The cell membrane protects the cell and controls what enters and exits the cell.

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

• The cell membrane facilitates cell division.
