Grade 5 Biology Quiz: Plant and Animal Cells, Meiosis, and Mitosis

What is the process of cell division in plants called?

• pollination

• mitosis

• photosynthesis

• respiration

Name the organelle in plant cells that is responsible for cell division.

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• vacuole

• chloroplast

How do animal cells divide?

• Photosynthesis

• Mitosis

• Fermentation

• Budding

What is the significance of cell division in animals?

• Growth, repair, and reproduction

• Food digestion

• Regulation of body temperature

• Energy production

Differentiate between meiosis and mitosis.

• Meiosis and mitosis are the same process with different names.

• Meiosis produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes, while mitosis produces two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• Meiosis occurs in plant cells, while mitosis occurs in animal cells.

• Meiosis produces cells with double the number of chromosomes, while mitosis produces two different daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?

• Regulating cell division

• Producing energy for the cell

• The cell's control system. Contains DNA

• Transporting nutrients within the cell

Name the organelle responsible for producing energy in a cell.

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

• nucleus

• endoplasmic reticulum

What is the function of the cell membrane in a cell?

• Regulates what enters and exits the cell, provides protection and support, and allows for cell communication.

• Assists in breaking down waste materials within the cell

• Stores genetic material for the cell

• Helps the cell produce energy through photosynthesis

What is the role of the cytoplasm in a cell?

• It's a gel like substance that holds the organelles in place. Allowing the organelles to perform their functions .

• It regulates the entry and exit of substances in the cell.

• It is responsible for cell division.

• It produces energy for the cell.

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

• They are responsible for cell division.

• They produce energy for the cell.

• They are involved in protein synthesis.

• They regulate the entry and exit of substances in the cell.
