Which type(s) of cells have genetic material that is contained in a nucleus?

• bacteria
• only animal cells
• protists
• both plant and animal cells

Which statement is true about bacterial cells?

• The cells are very large
• The cells have no nucleus
• The are eukaryotes
• They have lots of organelles

A plant cell stores food, water or waste products in

• chloroplast
• nuclei
• ribosomes

Chloroplasts in plant cells allow the plant to perform a function that animal cells cannot do.  What is the main function of the chloroplasts found in plant cells?

• to absorb light energy and manufacture food
• to remove waste materials by active transport
• to manufacture chemical energy from food
• to control the shape of the cell
