Unit 1: Comparing animal & plant cells

Question 1

Similarities

Answer 1

Both animal & plant cells have
1. Cell membranes
2. Cytosol/Cytoplasm
3. Nucleus
4. Mitochondria

Question 2

Cell Membranes

Answer 2

Cell membranes separate the outside and inside of the cells
They control what goes in and comes out

Question 3

Cytoplasms

Answer 3

Inside of cell that is jelly like and contains the cells parts which are called organelles.

Question 4

Organelles

Answer 4

The cell parts
each organelle has their own function in the cell

Question 5

Mitochondria

Answer 5

Organelle that breaks down sugar.
The process of breaking down sugar releases energy the cell uses

Question 6

Nucleus

Answer 6

Organelle that contains a cells genes

Question 7

Differences

Answer 7

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts

Question 8

Cell wall

Answer 8

Extra layer outside the cell membrane
It provides structure for the cell and makes it stiff and rigid

Question 9

Chloroplasts

Answer 9

Organelles that carry out photosynthesis which makes food (sugars) that the cell needs to live
