Exploring Plant and Animal Cells

What is one key structural difference between plant and animal cells?

• Animal cells have a cell wall; plant cells do not.

• Plant cells have lysosomes; animal cells do not.

• Plant cells have a cell wall; animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have chloroplasts; plant cells do not.

Which organelle is responsible for energy production in both plant and animal cells?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Chloroplasts

• Endoplasmic reticulum

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

• The cell wall regulates water intake in plant cells.

• The cell wall is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

• The cell wall functions to provide structural support and protection to plant cells.

• The cell wall allows for nutrient absorption in plant cells.

How do chloroplasts contribute to the process of photosynthesis?

• Chloroplasts are responsible for the respiration process in plants.

• Chloroplasts store energy as fat and release carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

• Chloroplasts capture light energy and convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.

• Chloroplasts absorb nutrients from the soil to produce energy for the plant.

What is the primary function of the nucleus in a cell?

• To produce energy for the cell.

• To transport nutrients across the cell membrane.

• To synthesize proteins for cellular functions.

• The primary function of the nucleus is to store and protect the cell's genetic information.

In a bustling city, there is a factory known for its energy production. The workers often refer to one specific section of the factory as the 'powerhouse' because it generates the most energy for the entire facility. Which section of the factory is known as the 'powerhouse'?

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Chloroplast

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

• Animal cells are usually larger than plant cells.

• Plant cells are usually larger than animal cells.

• Plant and animal cells are the same size.

• Plant cells are smaller than animal cells.

What is the function of the vacuole in plant cells?

• The vacuole transports nutrients to other cells.

• The vacuole is responsible for photosynthesis.

• The vacuole stores substances and maintains turgor pressure in plant cells.

• The vacuole produces energy for the cell.

What is the significance of photosynthesis for plant cells?

• Photosynthesis is only important for animals.

• Photosynthesis occurs only at night in plants.

• Photosynthesis is crucial for plant cells as it enables them to produce energy and oxygen, supporting growth and life.

• Photosynthesis is a process that consumes energy instead of producing it.

What is the difference in the shape of plant cells compared to animal cells?

• Animal cells are always square while plant cells are circular.

• Plant cells are round and animal cells are rectangular.

• Both plant and animal cells have the same shape.

• Plant cells are generally rectangular due to their cell wall, whereas animal cells are more varied in shape and often round.
