The cell wall of the animal cell is made up of cellulose

• true

• false

Which of the following events would occur if plant cells could not perform the life process of cellular respiration?

• Plant cells make their own carbohydrates, in turn, plant cells would not be able to create their own carbohydrates. The cells would starve, and die if they could not perform the life process of cellular respiration.
• Plant cells reproduce by the nucleus, in turn, the plant cells would not be able to reproduce. The cells would eventually go extinct if they could not perform the life process of cellular respiration.
• Plant cells have cytoplasm that holds all the cells organelles in place, in turn, plant cells would not be able to hold the organelles together. The plant cells would eventually dry up, and die if they could not perform the life process of cellular respiration.
• none of the answers are correct

Chloroplasts are very important within a plant cell. How are chloroplasts vital in maintaining life functions for plant cell activity?

• Chloroplasts provide the plant cell with a thin flexible membrane that surrounds the cell. The cell is able to allow certain materials inside the cell, and release water material outside the cell.
• Chloroplasts provide the plant cell with a gel-like fluid that fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus. The chloroplasts allow for movement within the plant cell.
• Chloroplasts are a rod shaped organelle that converts DNA replication occur. The Chloroplasts allow for cellular division by mitosis. 
• Chloroplasts are an organelle in the plant cell that captures energy from sunlight, and changes it to an energy from that plant cell can use in making food. This process can                  be commonly known as photosynthesis.

Looking at the plant cell above, why is the large central water vacuole important for the function of the plant cell?

• The central water vacuole is a rigid supporting layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms. This organelle is only found in plant cells.
• The central water vacuole is an organelle that is a thin flexible barrier that surrounds a cell and controls which substances pass in and out of the cell. This organelle can be found in both animal and plant cells
• The central water vacuole is a gell-like fluid that fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It moves constantly and supports organelles. This organelle can be found in both animal and plant cells
• The central water vacuole is a a sac-like organelle that stores water that can only be found in plant cells.
