7.12DE Plant and Animal Cell Organelles (Post)

Which of the following lists includes cellular structures found in both plant and animal cells?

• Chloroplasts, cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm

• Vacuoles, cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria

• Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, cell wall

• Chloroplasts, vacuoles, cell wall, cytoplasm

In an organism, the brain directs the body how to respond to stimuli from the environment. In a cell, this function is performed by the–

• cell membrane.

• chloroplasts.

• mitochondria.

• nucleus.

Two unlabeled slides are viewed under a microscope. Slide A has cells with a visible nucleus, mitochondria, a cell membrane, a cell wall, and chloroplasts. Slide B has cells with a visible nucleus, mitochondria, and a cell membrane. How should these slides be labeled?

• Slide A, animal cells; Slide B, animal cells

• Slide A, animal cells; Slide B, plant cells

• Slide A, plant cells; Slide B, animal cells

• Slide A, plant cells;Slide B, plant cells

Which of the following structures can help differentiate between a plant cell and an animal cell?

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Chloroplast

• Cell membrane

Vacuoles are round organelles found in both plant and animal cells. Their primary function is to -

• produce food and energy for the cell.control the activities of the cell.transport materials between parts of the cell.store water, waste, and nutrients for the cell.

• control the activities of the cell.

• transport materials between parts of the cell.

• store water, waste, and nutrients for the cell.

Plant cells have a strong, rigid outer layer known as the cell wall. The function of the cell wall is to -

• help the cell maintain its shape under changing water pressure.

• convert energy from sunlight into chemical energy.

• regulate the transfer of material into the cell.

• separate genetic material from the rest of the cell.

Plant cells have large, round vacuoles they primarily use for -

• energy production.

• water storage.

• protein synthesis.

• waste removal.

The lysosomes of a cell help to break down larger food molecules into smaller molecules. What organ system functions in this manner?

• Digestive system

• Nervous system

• Lymphatic system

• Integumentary system

What function in plant cells is comparable to an animal eating food?

• Chloroplasts absorbing solar energy for cellular activities

• Nuclei directing cellular activity from information held in

• Vacuoles storing waste, protecting the rest of the cell from contamination

• Cell walls providing rigidity and support for the cell structure
