18. ____
19. ____
20. ____
21. ____
22. ____
The control center of the cell
Cytoplasm

23. What is the
difference
between mitosis
and meiosis?
Mitosis is simple cell division. It results in two identical cells
that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent
cell. Since no sex is involved, mitosis is often called asexual
reproduction. Meiosis is reduction division. It results in two
cells that are not identical and that contain only half the
chromosome material of the parent cell. Meiosis produces
the sex cells in living organisms.
24. How are plant and animal cells different?
Animal cells lack the cell wall. Plant cells
have a cell wall. Animal cells lack
chloroplasts; plant cells usually have
chloroplasts. Vacuoles in animal cells are
usually small and store food or collect
waste. In plant cells, vacuoles are quite
large and store water.
25. Explain how the
cell demonstrates
God’s design.
The intricacy, design, and organization of the cell
structures and processes provide strong evidence of
a Creator. The design of the cell could not have just
happened.
