Step-by-step solution for: 50+ plant and animal cell worksheets on Quizizz | Free & Printable
Let's go through each of the questions from your quiz and provide the correct answers with explanations.

1. Which structures are found in plant cells but not animal cells?
Correct Answers: B (cell wall), E (chloroplasts)
✔ Explanation:
Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, which provides structural support and protection — this is absent in animal cells.
They also contain chloroplasts, which perform photosynthesis to make food using sunlight — animal cells do not have these.
While both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane, nucleus, and mitochondria, only plant cells have chloroplasts and a cell wall.
> So, the correct choices are: B and E
---
2. Which structures are found in both plant cells and animal cells?
Correct Answers: A (nucleus), B (cell membrane), E (mitochondria)
✔ Explanation:
Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they share several organelles:
- Nucleus: Contains DNA and controls cell activities.
- Cell membrane: Regulates movement of substances in and out of the cell.
- Mitochondria: Site of cellular respiration (energy production).
✘ Cell wall and chloroplasts are only in plant cells.
> So, the correct choices are: A, B, and E
---
3. What is the function of chloroplasts?
Correct Answer: D (Allow plant cells to capture sunlight and make food.)
✔ Explanation:
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that absorbs sunlight. This energy is used in photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food) and oxygen.
> So, the correct choice is: D
---
4. What is the function of the cell wall?
Correct Answer: A (Keeps the plant cell upright in case of changes to changes in water pressure.)
✔ Explanation:
The cell wall gives plant cells rigidity and shape. It helps maintain structure and prevents bursting when water enters the cell (due to osmosis). This process contributes to turgor pressure, which keeps plants upright.
> So, the correct choice is: A
---
5. What is the function of the cell membrane?
Correct Answer: B (Regulates what enters and exits the cell.)
✔ Explanation:
The cell membrane is selectively permeable — it allows certain substances like nutrients and oxygen to enter while removing waste products. It controls the flow of materials in and out of the cell.
> So, the correct choice is: B
---
6. Plant, animal and all other eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria. Why do all of these different types of cells have mitochondria?
(Although the question is cut off, here’s the likely intended answer.)
✔ Answer:
All eukaryotic cells need energy to carry out life processes such as growth, movement, and reproduction. Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration. Since all living cells require energy, mitochondria are essential for energy production in eukaryotic cells, regardless of whether they are plant or animal.
> So, the reason is: Because mitochondria produce energy (ATP) needed for cellular functions.
