Unit 2a: Plant & Animal Cells

A student wants to examine the organelles of cells that make up a leaf. How can the students see the organelle?

• With Eyeglasses

• With Eyes Alone

• With a Handheld Lens

• With a Microscope

Which structure directs most of the activities in animal and plant cells?

• The Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Organelles

• The Cell Membrane

Which statement is true?

• A plant cell has organelle, but an animal cell does not

• An animal cell has a cell wall, but a plant cell does not

• A plant cell has chloroplasts, but an animal cell does not.

• Plant and animal cells have membranes, which are the same as cell walls.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• It supports the cell

• It contains cell organelles

• It makes food for the cell

• It controls what enters and leaves the cell

Which statement explains why plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not?

• Plants reproduce from seeds, but animals do not.

• Plants make their own food from sunlight, but animals do not.

• Animals have backbones and muscle support, but plants do not.

• Animals can move from one place to another, but plants cannot

A scientist makes a model of a plant cell. Which parts should she include in her model? (Select ALL that apply)

• Stem

• Seed

• Nucleus

How do scientists know that plants and animals are made up of millions of cells?

• Plants and animals are living things

• Cells are the building blocks of all living things

• Plant cells and animal cells have similar structures

• Plant cells and animal cells can be observed under a microscope.
