Animal and Plant Cells

Question 1

What three organelles do plant cells have that animal cells don’t have?

Answer 1

All plants cells have a Cell wall (made of cellulose), some plant cells have Chloroplasts, or A permanent vacuole

Question 2

What organelles do plant and animal cells both have?

Answer 2

Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Cell membrane, Mitochondria, Ribosomes

Question 3

What is the function of the nucleus?

Answer 3

Controls the acivities of the cell and contains genetic material

Question 4

What is the function of the cytoplasm?

Answer 4

Where most of the chemical reaction needed for life take place

Question 5

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Answer 5

Controls the passage of substances such as glucose and mineral ions into the cell. And the passages of substances out of the cell

Question 6

What is the function of the mitochondria?

Answer 6

Where aerobic respiration takes place, releasing energy for the cell

Question 7

What is the function of the ribosomes?

Answer 7

Where protein synthesis takes place, making all proteins needed in the cell

Question 8

What is the function of a cell wall (made of cellulose) ?

Answer 8

Strengthens the cell and gives it support

Question 9

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Answer 9

Chloroplasts are green because they contain the green substance chlorophyll. They absorb light so the plant can make food by photosynthesis

Question 10

What is the function of a permanent vacuole?

Answer 10

A space in the cytoplasm filled with cell sap. This is important for keeping the cells rigid to support the plant
