mitochondrion to perform photosynthesis.
Which best describes how the function of the cell membrane differs in plant and animal cells?
In animal cells, the cell membrane is the outermost layer of the cell, while in plant cells, the cell membrane separates the cell wall from everything inside the cell.
In plant cells, the cell membrane is the outermost layer of the cell, while in animal cells, the cell membrane separates the cell wall from everything inside the cell.
In animal cells, the cell membrane controls what comes in and out of the cell, while in plant cells, the cell membrane houses all the genetic material.
In plant cells, the cell membrane is made of a gel-like material that is green, while in animal cells, the cell membrane is made of a gel-like material that is red.

Mitchell is creating a model of a plant cell. Mitchell wants to include organelles that are involved in energy production for the cell. Which organelles should Mitchell include?
Mitchell should use mitochondria to store energy and cytoplasm to release energy from food.
Mitchell should include the nucleus to transform light energy and chloroplasts to store energy.
Mitchell should include cytoplasm to store energy and lysosomes to release energy from food.
Mitchell should include chloroplasts to transform light energy and mitochondria to release energy from food.

cellular transport.
The cell membrane of an animal cell was damaged, preventing the cell from performing one of its functions. Which cell function would be lost, and how would this loss affect the cell?
The cell would no longer be able to provide the first barrier around the cell wall, causing the cell wall to expand.
The cell would no longer be able to take in nutrients and excrete wastes, preventing it from making needed materials.
The cell would no longer be able to maintain the necessary genetic material, preventing it from making copies of itself and dividing.
The cell would no longer be able to use sunlight to create energy, preventing it from getting the energy it needs to grow and reproduce.
