Which structure allows materials to pass into and out of the cell?
cell membrane
cytoplasm
golgi body
cell wall
Why is the vacuole in a plant cell larger than the vacuole in an animal cell?
Plant cells produce more waste
Plant cells need to hold more water to use during photosynthesis
Animal cells must be able to hold more water
Plant cells have a smaller surface than animal cells
Which structure is most responsible for controlling cellular activities in both plant and animal cells?
The nucleus
The cytoplas
The mitochondria
The cell wall
What is the main job of the nucleus in plant and animal cells?
To create a boundary for the cell
To make the cell eukaryotic
To hold the cell's genetic information
James examines a cell from a tomato plant and a cell from an cardinal wing. Which structure is found only in the cell from the aloe plant?
a cell wall
mitochondria
a vacuole
Which is an important difference between plant and animal cells?
Animal cells have a cell wall but plant cells do not
Plant cells have a cell wall but animal cells have a cell membrane
How do the cell membrane and nuclear membrane compare?
Both form a barrier that lets some materials pass through
Both form an impenetrable barrier in the cell
Why does a plant cell need a cell wall?
The rigid cell wall absorbs nutrients from the soil
The cell wall collects light energy
The cell wall produces proteins
The rigid cell wall provides structure for the plant as it grows.
Which type of cell is pictured?
It is an animal cell because plant cells do not have a nucleus
It is a plant cell because it does have a nucleus
It is an animal cell because it lacks a cell wall and has smaller vacuoles
What function does the cytoplasm perform in plant and animal cells?
Cytoplasm holds the cell's organelles in place
Cytoplasm holds the water in the cell
Cytoplasm directs the activity in the cell
Which is the function of a cell′s nucleus?
To give the cell directions for cellular functions
To hold organelles in place
To create energy for the cell
To hold the cell's water and proteins
Why can petunia flower cells make their own food but the cells of a snake cannot?
Plant cells contain ribosomes but animal cells do not
Plant cells contain chloroplasts, but animal cells do not.
Plant cells contain vacuoles but animal cells do not
Which organism’ would most likely be categorized as “unicellular with cilia for movement”?

Which protists are both heterotrophic and autotrophic?
Paramecium and euglena
Euglena and amoeba
Volvox and euglena
Amoeba and volvox
The eyespot of a euglena is damaged. How will this affect the organism’s basic functions?
The euglena will have difficulty finding sunlight for photosynthesis
The euglena will lose its flexibility
The euglena will have difficulty reproducing
Which protists contain both chloroplasts and eyespots?
Amoeba and volvox
Paramecium and amoeba
Amoeba and euglena
