Biology I Plant and Animal Cells

Which organelle is present in plant cells but not in animal cells?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

What roles does the cell membrane play?

• The cell membrane protects the cell, regulates substance movement, facilitates communication, and maintains cell shape.
• The cell membrane acts as a food source for the cell.
• The cell membrane stores genetic information.
• The cell membrane generates energy for the cell.

The nucleolus is in the nucleus. What is its primary job?

• To regulate cell division.
• To synthesize ribosomal RNA and assemble ribosome subunits.
• To produce energy for the cell.
• To store genetic information.

What is the primary job of the mitochondria in both plant and animal cells?

• The primary job of the mitochondria is to produce energy (ATP) for the cell.
• To regulate the cell's water balance.
• To synthesize proteins for cellular functions.
• To store genetic information for the cell.
