Is it possible to determine whether the cell represents a plant or an animal cell?

• No, because not enough structures are labeled to determine how the cell has specialized to perform its function in a particular tissue type.

• No, because all of the labeled structures are common to both plant and animal cells.

• Yes, because only plants perform photosynthesis and have the chloroplasts in their cells required to perform this function.

• Yes, because only animals release carbon dioxide through cellular respiration and have the mitochondria in their cells required to perform this function.

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

What do vacuoles do? 

• They actually do not have an important role

• They protect the cell

• They are the brain of the cell

• storage area for cells; water storage in plants
