What is a distinguishing feature of plant cells that is absent in animal cells?
Click to flip
Plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells do not.
Click to flip
Which type of cell contains chloroplasts?
Click to flip
Plant cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
Click to flip
Do animal cells contain a large central vacuole?
Click to flip
No, large central vacuoles are characteristic of plant cells.
Click to flip
What structure is present in animal cells but not in plant cells?
Click to flip
Centrioles, which are involved in cell division, are present in animal cells but not in plant cells.
Click to flip
What is the function of chloroplasts found in plant cells?
Click to flip
Chloroplasts capture light energy to perform photosynthesis and produce glucose.
Click to flip
Do both plant and animal cells have mitochondria?
Click to flip
Yes, both plant and animal cells contain mitochondria for energy production.
Click to flip
Which type of cell is more likely to have a rectangular shape, plant or animal cells?
Click to flip
Plant cells typically have a more rigid, rectangular shape due to their cell wall.
Click to flip
What is the purpose of a cell wall in plant cells?
Click to flip
The cell wall provides structural support and protection.
Click to flip
How do animal cells store their genetic material?
Click to flip
Animal cells store their genetic material in a nucleus, similar to plant cells.
Click to flip
Do plant cells have lysosomes?
Click to flip
Yes, though less common compared to animal cells, plant cells can have lysosomes.
Click to flip
What is a common feature of both plant and animal cells?
Click to flip
Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane that regulates the entry and exit of substances.
Click to flip
Do animal cells have a plasma membrane?
Click to flip
Yes, both animal and plant cells have a plasma membrane that surrounds the cell.
Click to flip
What is the role of vacuoles in plant cells?
Click to flip
In plant cells, vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and provide structural support through turgor pressure.
Click to flip
Which type of cell generally has a larger number of small vesicles, plant or animal cells?
Click to flip
Animal cells usually have many smaller vesicles compared to plant cells.
Click to flip
How do plant and animal cells differ in their size and number of vacuoles?
Click to flip
Plant cells typically have one large central vacuole, while animal cells can have multiple smaller vacuoles.
