Front

What provides extra support for the plant cell and gives it shape?

Back

Cell wall

Front

What is the best description of a chloroplast's function?

Back

Contains chlorophyll, which allows the cell to use light energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugars and oxygen.

Front

What is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell'?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is a storage structure in animal cells and how does it differ in plant cells?

Back

In animal cells, there are many small vacuoles, but in plant cells, there is just one large vacuole.

Front

What is the main function of the cell membrane?

Back

Regulates what comes in and out of the cell.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Breaks down sugar molecules to release energy.

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

A molecule that allows plants to capture light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary function of the cell wall?

Back

Provides structure and support to plant cells.

Front

How do plant cells differ from animal cells in terms of shape?

Back

Plant cells typically have a fixed, rectangular shape due to the cell wall, while animal cells have a more flexible, varied shape.
