How does the structure of the cell membrane contribute to its function?

• It is rigid, providing structural support.

• It is selectively permeable, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

• It stores water and nutrients.

• It contains chlorophyll for photosynthesis.

Explain why plant cells have a large central vacuole.

• To store genetic material

• To maintain cell shape and store nutrients/water and waste products

• To produce energy

• To control cell division

What is the main difference between the cell wall and the cell membrane?

• The cell wall is found in animal cells, while the cell membrane is found in plant cells.

• The cell wall is rigid and provides support, while the cell membrane is flexible and controls entry and exit of substances.

• The cell wall is involved in energy production, while the cell membrane stores nutrients.

• The cell wall contains chlorophyll, while the cell membrane does not.

Which of the following is a function of the cytoplasm in both plant and animal cells?

• It stores genetic information.

• It provides a medium for chemical reactions to occur.

• It produces energy.

• It controls cell division.

Discuss how the presence of chloroplasts in plant cells affects their function compared to animal cells.

• Chloroplasts allow plant cells to perform photosynthesis, which is not possible in animal cells.

• Chloroplasts store genetic material, which is not found in animal cells.

• Chloroplasts control cell division, which is different from animal cells.

• Chloroplasts produce energy through cellular respiration, unlike animal cells.

What role do vacuoles play in plant cells that is different from their role in animal cells?

• Vacuoles store genetic material in plant cells.

• Vacuoles help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells by storing materials & waste.

• Vacuoles produce energy in plant cells.

• Vacuoles control cell division in plant cells.

If a cell were a town, which organelle would be most similar to the town's city hall, and why?

• Nucleus, because it controls and regulates the activities of the town.

• Mitochondria, because it provides energy to the town.

• Chloroplasts, because it stores the town's resources.

• Vacuoles, because it manages the town's waste.
