Life Science: Cells

The video tutorial explores the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. It covers the basic structures and functions of cells, such as the nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm. The tutorial highlights unique features of plant cells, like cell walls and chloroplasts, and animal cells, like centrioles and lysosomes. It explains how cells perform different functions by activating specific genetic instructions. The video concludes with a review of the key differences between plant and animal cells.

What is the primary function of the cell membrane in both plant and animal cells?

• To store genetic material

• To control the movement of substances in and out of the cell

• To provide energy to the cell

• To aid in cell division

Which organelle is known as the 'Control Center' of the cell?

• Golgi body

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

What is the role of ribosomes in the cell?

• To store water

• To synthesize proteins

• To produce energy

• To aid in cell division

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

• Chloroplast

• Lysosome

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

What is a key difference between vacuoles in plant and animal cells?

• Plant cells have smaller vacuoles than animal cells

• Animal cells have larger vacuoles than plant cells

• Plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells

• Animal cells do not have vacuoles
