Exploring Plant and Animal Cells

What is a key structural difference between plant cells and animal cells?

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

• Animal cells have chloroplasts, while plant cells do not.

• Plant cells have a nucleus, while animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have a large central vacuole, while plant cells do not.

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

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

• To store water and nutrients

• To produce energy in the form of ATP

• To control cell activities

• To synthesize proteins

Which of the following is found in animal cells but not in plant cells?
