Multiple Choice

Why do plant cells have chloroplasts but animal cells do not?

• Plant cells do not perform photosynthesis.
• Plant cells make food from the sun's energy.

• Plant cells store water and waste.

Multiple Choice

Emma drew and labeled a cell model for class. However, she made a mistake. What is wrong in the model?

• This is an animal cell, so it should not have cytoplasm.

• This is a plant cell, so it should not have a nucleus.

• This is an animal cell, so it should not have chloroplasts.

• This is a plant cell, so it should not have a cell membrane.

Animal Cells

Multiple Choice

If you were given two cell samples, what would be the best way to categorize them as plant or animal cells?

• Observe the cell samples over time.

• Put the samples together and see how they react.

• Soak the samples in water.

• Look at the samples under a microscope to find identifying features.

Multiple Choice

Can you tell by the image what type of cell this pictured?

• No, because there are not enough structures labeled.

• No, because all of the structures labeled are common in plant and animal cells.

• Yes, because only plants perform photosynthesis and have the chloroplasts.

• Yes, because only animals have mitochondrion to create energy.
