Why is the vacuole in a plant cell larger than the vacuole in an animal cell?

• Plant cells produce more waste

• Plant cells need to hold more water to use during photosynthesis

• Animal cells must be able to hold more water

• Plant cells have a smaller surface than animal cells

Which is an important difference between plant and animal cells?

• Animal cells have a cell wall but plant cells do not

• Plant cells have a cell wall but animal cells have a cell membrane

How do the cell membrane and nuclear membrane compare?

• Both form a barrier that lets some materials pass through

• Both form an impenetrable barrier in the cell

Why does a plant cell need a cell wall?

• The rigid cell wall absorbs nutrients from the soil

• The cell wall collects light energy

• The cell wall produces proteins

• The rigid cell wall provides structure for the plant as it grows.

Which type of cell is pictured?

• It is an animal cell because plant cells do not have a nucleus

• It is a plant cell because it does have a nucleus

• It is an animal cell because it lacks a cell wall and has smaller vacuoles
