Cell Organelle Comparison Quiz (SC.6.L.14.4)

Compare the structure of the cell wall in plant cells to the cell membrane in animal cells. Which of the following statements is true?

• Both the cell wall and cell membrane are rigid structures that provide support.

• The cell wall is a rigid structure that provides support, while the cell membrane is flexible and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

• The cell wall is found in animal cells, while the cell membrane is found in plant cells.

• Both the cell wall and cell membrane are involved in photosynthesis.

Which of the following best describes the function of mitochondria in both plant and animal cells?

• Mitochondria are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

• Mitochondria store nutrients and waste products.

• Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, providing energy through cellular respiration.

• Mitochondria are involved in the synthesis of proteins.

Evaluate the importance of vacuoles in plant cells compared to animal cells. What is a key difference in their function?

• Vacuoles in plant cells are smaller and primarily store waste products.

• Vacuoles in plant cells are larger and help maintain cell structure by storing water, while in animal cells, they are smaller and store nutrients and waste.

• Vacuoles in both plant and animal cells are involved in photosynthesis.

• Vacuoles in animal cells are larger and help maintain cell structure by storing water.
