What is an animal cell?

Back

An animal cell is a type of cell that is found in animals. It does not have a cell wall or chloroplasts, and it has smaller vacuoles compared to plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides structure and protection to the plant cell, helping to maintain its shape.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

Front

What is the function of the vacuole?

Back

The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is a protective barrier that surrounds the cell, controlling what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance inside the cell where organelles are suspended and chemical reactions occur.

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the cell's genetic material (DNA) and regulating cell activities.

Front

What are red blood cells?

Back

Red blood cells are specialized cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

Front

What are skin cells?

Back

Skin cells are cells that make up the outer layer of the skin, providing protection and regulating temperature.
