Using a microscope, Mabel observed some cheek cells scraped from the inside of her mouth as well as cells from the root hair cells from an onion.

What could she most likely be trying to find out?

• Do all cells in an organism contain the same parts?

• What are the differences between a plant and an animal?

• Are the cell parts of one animal the same as cell parts of another animal?

• How are genetic materials passed down from parent to offspring?

A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that plays a role in the storage and the release of cellular products. How do the vacuoles in animal cells differ from vacuoles in a plant cell?

• Plant cell vacuoles are usually smaller because plants can make their own food.

• Animal cells usually contain less vacuoles because they have an excretory system to eliminate waste.

• Plant cell vacuoles are usually larger because they also provide structural support for the plant tissues.

• Animal cell vacuoles are usually larger because they have to store a lot of glucose from the food they eat for later use

Four students examined the cells in the diagram shown and made the following observations:

Student 1: Cell 1 is a plant cell because it has a cell wall

Student 2: Cell 2 is an animal cell because it has a nucleus

Student 3: Cell 1 is a plant cell because it has chloroplasts

Student 4: Cell 2 is an animal cell because it has a cell membrane

Who are correct?
