Plant and Animal Cells Quiz

What is the main role of cells in both plants and animals?

• To make food for the organism

• To help the organism grow and function

• To store sunlight for energy

• To protect the organism from predators

How do plant cells get the energy they need to grow?

• By eating other plants

• By using sunlight to make food

• By breaking down soil nutrients

• By absorbing water from roots

Which structure is found in plant cells but not in animal cells, and what is its function?

• Cell membrane; controls what enters and leaves the cell

• Cell wall; provides support and protection

• Nucleus; stores energy for the cell

• Chloroplast; breaks down food for energy

How do animal cells get energy compared to plant cells?

• Animal cells use sunlight to make food.

• Animal cells break down food they consume.

• Animal cells absorb energy from water.

• Animal cells store energy in their roots.

What do plants need for photosynthesis to occur?

• Oxygen, sugar, and sunlight

• Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight

• Nitrogen, soil, and oxygen

• Water, sugar, and air

Why do animals need to eat food, while plants do not?

• Animals use sunlight to make food, but plants eat other organisms.

• Animals cannot make food from sunlight, but plants use photosynthesis.

• Animals store energy in roots, but plants consume food.

• Animals break down water for energy, but plants use soil nutrients.

Which of the following is true about plant and animal cells?

• Both have chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

• Both have cell walls for support.

• Plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have a cell wall, but plant cells do not.

What do both plant and animal cells do with the food they have?

• Store it in chloroplasts

• Break it down to release energy

• Use it to make sunlight

• Convert it into water

Match the cell structure to its function:

​ ​ ​ (a)   uses sunlight to make food

​ (b)   controls what enters and leaves the cell

• Chloroplast
• Cell membrane
