Which organelles are found in both plant and animal cells?

• cytoplasm and cell membrane

• cell walls and cell membranes

• cell walls and chloroplasts

• cytoplasm and cell walls

What function do the cell wall and cell membrane perform in a plant cell?

• They release energy for the cell.

• They make proteins for the cell.

• They maintain homeostasis for the cell.

• They create a protective boundary for the cell.

What would a plant cell be unable to do when a vacuole is damaged?

• The cell would be unable to store water.

• The cell would be unable to make proteins.

• The cell would be unable to make its own food.

• The cell would be unable to control substances entering and exiting

  the cell.

Why do the lysosomes in an animal cell contain chemicals?

• They keep fungi out of the cell cytoplasm.

• They give off signals that attract food to the cell.

• They break down the nutrients brought into the cell.

• They dilute collected water so it can pass through the cell membrane.

Which statement describes the primary function of the chloroplasts in a

plant cell?

• They capture light energy from the sun and use it, along with water

  and oxygen, to produce sugars for food.

• They release light energy from the leaves and use it, along with

  water and oxygen, to produce sugars for food.

• They capture light energy from the sun and use it, along with water

  and carbon dioxide, to produce sugars for food.

• They release light energy from the leaves and use it, along with

  water and carbon dioxide, to produce sugars for food.
