• Chloroplast

What do vacuoles do? 

• They actually do not have an important role
• They protect the cell
• They are the brain of the cell
• storage area for cells; water storage in plants

If you were some bad guy trying to sneak into an animal cell, who would be there to stop you?

• nucleus
• mitochondria
• cell membrane
• cell wall

Which of the following, found ONLY in plant cells, provides structure?

• cell wall
• chloroplast
• mitochondria
• vacuole

What is one basic function of the vacuoles?

• circulating oxygen
• producing food
• controlling cell processes
• storing water

Chloroplasts in plant cells allow the plant to perform a function that animal cells cannot do.  What is the main function of the chloroplasts found in plant cells?

• to absorb light energy and manufacture food
• to remove waste materials by active transport
