Which statement about plant and animal cells is
true?
A.
Plant cells have a nucleus and a cell wall;
animal cells do not have either of these
structures.
B.
Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts;
animal cells do not have either of these
structures.
C.
Plant cells have a cell wall and a cell
membrane; animal cells have a cell wall but
not a cell membrane.
5.
A.
Nucleus
B.
Cell wall
C.
Mitochondrion
D. Cell membrane
Depending on its electric charge, shape, and
chemical properties, a substance may or may not
be allowed to pass through a cell membrane.
This function of the cell membrane is important
because it
.
A.
prevents cell division
B.
prevents destruction of the cell wall
C.
allows the cell to maintain homeostasis
D. allows amino acids to move into and out of
the cell
D. Plant cells have chloroplasts and mitochondria;
animal cells have chloroplasts but do not have
mitochondria.

Which structure is responsible for allowing
materials into and out of an animal cell?

The diagram below shows a cell.
Blight is a plant disease caused by a fungus that
a ects potato plants. Some wild breeds of potato
have natural resistance to the fungus. These wild
potatoes contain chemical compounds that cause
them to taste bad. Scientists are trying to produce
potato plants that are resistant to blight but still
produce potatoes that taste good.
Which of the following describes an important
di erence between a potato plant cell and a human
cell?
A.
B.
C.
Plant cells have a cell wall, and animal cells
do not.
Where would this cell most likely be found?
Animal cells store water inside, and plant
cells do not.
Plant cells have a cell nucleus, and animal
cells do not.
D. Animal cells perform respiration, and plant
cells do not.

Which of the following best describes the purpose
of the chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell?

specify traits
B.
to release energy by breaking down food
molecules
C.
to transport nutrients into and out of the cell

Which structure is primarily responsible for
directing all processes of a plant cell?
A.

B.
C.
mitochondria
D. nucleus
A.
Both need energy.
B.
Both have cell walls.
C.
Both move with pseudopodia.
A.
D. Both consume carbon dioxide.
C.

Which of the following structures is not present in
animal cells?
A.
cell membrane
B.
C.
