Cell Functions

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

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

• Animal cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while plant cells do not.

• Both plant and animal cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts.

• Plant cells are smaller than animal cells.

What is the Golgi apparatus?

• An organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion.

• A structure that produces energy for the cell.

• A part of the cell responsible for DNA replication.

• A membrane-bound organelle that stores waste products.

What is the 'powerhouse' of the cell?

• Nucleus: The control center of the cell that contains genetic material.

• Mitochondrion: An organelle that produces energy for the cell through cellular respiration.

• Ribosome: The site of protein synthesis in the cell.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum: A network involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
