Cell Organelles and Their Functions

The video compares plant and animal cells, highlighting key differences. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole, while animal cells lack these but have lysosomes and centrosomes. Both cell types have membranes. Plant cells are often depicted as rectangular due to their cell wall, whereas animal cells are shown as circular, though shapes can vary.

Which structure is present in plant cells but absent in animal cells, providing additional support?

• Cell membrane

• Lysosome

• Chloroplast

• Cell wall

What is the primary function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

• Breaking down substances

• Cell division

• Photosynthesis

• Storage of nutrients

How do vacuoles in plant cells differ from those in animal cells?

• Plant cells have smaller vacuoles

• Animal cells have a large central vacuole

• Plant cells have a large central vacuole

• Animal cells lack vacuoles

Which organelle is responsible for breaking down substances in animal cells?

• Chloroplast

• Vacuole

• Lysosome

• Centrosome

What is the role of centrosomes in animal cells?

• Providing structural support

• Photosynthesis

• Cell division

• Nutrient storage
