Surrounds the cell; regulates what enters/leaves cell; maintains homeostasis

• vacuole
• cell wall
• cell membrane
• lysosome

Control the cell's activities; contains the cell's DNA

• nucleus
• golgi body

Breaks down glucose to release energy for the cell

• nucleus
• lysosomes
• mitochondria
• vacuole

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus and Eukaryotic cells do not
• Prokaryotic cells are unicellular and Eukaryotic cells are multicellular.
• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, Eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus.
• Prokaryotic cells are plant cells and Eukaryotic cells are animal cells.

The main function of chloroplasts is:

• To control what enters and leaves the cell.
• To break down food to release energy for the cell.
• To control all activities of the cell.
• To produce food for the cell using the sun's energy.

The cytoplasm

• Is  the gel-like fluid that holds other organelles in place.
• Breaks down food to produce energy for the cell.
• Is known as the "brain" of the cell.
• Is where photosynthesis takes place.

Identify which of these is NOT a major difference between plant and animal cells.

• Only plant cells have a cell wall.
• Only animal cells have mitochondria.
• Animal cells do NOT contain chloroplasts.
• Plant cells have a large central vacuole.

Ribosomes are the cell organelle that

• Break down food to produce energy for the cell.
• Produce proteins for the cell.
• Break down broken cell parts.
• Make food for the cell using the sun's energy.
