7.L.1.2 Overview of Plant and Animal Cells

1

Is a cell the smallest part of a plant or animal?

1

What function does the cell membrane have?

1

Why is the nucleus is often called the control center?

1

What is the information in the nucleus?

1

While mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar in that they both convert energy, they have very different functions. Contrast what mitochondria and chloroplasts do.

1

If you could remove all the watery gel from the cytoplasm, what would be left?

1

The large vacuole of plants works with the cell wall to give the plant structure. What happens to the plants you have seen (maybe celery and carrots in your kitchen) when they dry out?

1

What do you think happens inside the cells of these plants that causes this to happen?

1

How do you think the large vacuole and wall of a plant cell work together to support the plant? Hint: Think of the difference between a balloon and a soccer ball when you inflate them.
