Understanding Plant and Animal Cells

What is the main function of the cell wall in plant cells?

• To facilitate photosynthesis in plant cells.

• To regulate the movement of water in and out of the cell.

• The main function of the cell wall in plant cells is to provide structural support and protection.

• To store nutrients and waste products.

Name one organelle that is found in both plant and animal cells.

• Chloroplast

• Ribosome

• Cell wall

• Mitochondria

What is the primary difference between plant and animal cells?

• Animal cells have a rigid structure, while plant cells are flexible.

• Plant cells are smaller than animal cells.

• Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while plant cells do not.

Which specialized plant cell is responsible for photosynthesis?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Cell wall

• Chloroplasts

What is the function of the vacuole in a plant cell?

• The vacuole stores substances and maintains turgor pressure in plant cells.

• The vacuole transports nutrients throughout the plant.

• The vacuole is responsible for photosynthesis.

• The vacuole produces energy for the cell.

Name a specialized animal cell and its function.

• Red blood cell

• Neuron

• Muscle cell

• Epithelial cell

What structure gives plant cells their shape?

• Cell wall

• Chloroplast

• Cell membrane

• Cytoplasm

How do animal cells differ in shape compared to plant cells?

• Animal cells are always square due to their rigid structure.

• Animal cells are typically round or irregular, while plant cells are rectangular due to the cell wall.

• Plant cells are typically round and flexible, unlike animal cells.

• Animal cells have a cell wall that gives them a rectangular shape.

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

• Chloroplasts store water for the plant.

• Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

• Chloroplasts are involved in cellular respiration.

• Chloroplasts provide structural support to the cell.

Why are specialized cells important for the function of an organism?

• Specialized cells are important because they allow for efficient and complex functions necessary for the survival and operation of an organism.

• Specialized cells are not necessary for survival.

• All cells in an organism perform the same function.

• Specialized cells are only found in plants.
