Exploring Animal and Plant Cells

What is the primary function of the cell membrane in both animal and plant cells?

• To perform photosynthesis

• To control what enters and exits the cell

• To store water and nutrients

• To convert food into energy

Which organelle is known as the "control center" of the cell?

• Mitochondria

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Chloroplast

What is the main difference between the shapes of animal and plant cells?

• Animal cells are rectangular, and plant cells are round

• Animal cells are round or irregular, and plant cells are rectangular or box-like

• Both animal and plant cells are always round

• Both animal and plant cells are always rectangular

Which structure is found in plant cells but not in animal cells and is responsible for photosynthesis?

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Chloroplasts

• Cytoplasm

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

• To store genetic information

• To convert food into energy

• To provide structural support

• To perform photosynthesis

Which of the following is a feature unique to plant cells?
