A group of students conducted a lab experiment to determine the differences between plant and animal cell features. The teacher did not specify which slides were plant cells and which were animal cells. What knowledge can the students recall to determine these differences?

• the students know that Eukaryotic cells perform tasks for the growth of the cell.

• the students know that plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole where animals do not.

• Students can recall that all cells are the building blocks of life

• The students know that animal cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole whereas plant cells do not.

Use this information to answer the question.

1. All living things are made of cells.
2. The cell is the fundamental unit of life.
3. All cells reproduce asexually.
4. All cells come from pre-existing cells

Which of the following statements are part of the cell theory?

• 1 only

• 2, 3, and 4

• 1, 2, and 4

• 1, 2, 3, and 4

Plant cells have a strong rigid outer layer known as the cell wall. The function of the cell wall is to provide structure and support. What body system has a similar function?

• Digestive System

• Skeletal System

• Excretory System

• Circulatory System

Chloroplasts are oval disks containing green chlorophyll in plant cells. Animal cells lack chloroplasts because

• they do not perform photosysnthesis

• they have cilia for movement

• they use mitochondria for photosynthesis

• they do not have cell walls.
