Cell theory and cell structure review

Plant and animal cells have many similarities in structure and function, however plant cells have several organelles that animal cells do not. Which of the following identifies a process that a plant cell is able to complete due to one of the additional organelles?

• Make its own food

• Make new cells and reproduce

• Generate energy for cell processes

• Scare off predators

A city has many parts that work together, like a cell. The mayor controls the operations of the city, a fence protects it, grass and sidewalks flow throughout it, and an electrical company provides power for the city. If the fence of a city is like a cell membrane, controlling what enters and leaves the cell, what part of a cell is most like the mayor?

• Chloroplast

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

The nucleus is

• a gel like substance that holds organelles in place

• the "powerhouse" of the cell

• an organelle that provides support for a plant cell

• the organelle that controls all processes of a cell/ contains DNA

• the site of photosynthesis/contains green pigment called chlorophyll
