Plant and Animal Cells PRACTICE

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell, providing protection and support.

Front

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

Back

The cell wall provides structure, support, and protection to the plant cell.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, using sunlight to make food for the plant.

Front

What is the nucleus often referred to as?

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within the cell membrane that contains organelles and is where many cellular processes occur.

Front

What is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?

Back

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

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplasts that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

How do plant cells differ from animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and larger vacuoles, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouses' of the cell, generating energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.
