plant cells

• What is a key difference between plant cells and animal cells regarding shape?

  Plant cells have a regular shape, while animal cells can easily change their shape.
• What green structures are packed in plant cells?

  Chloroplasts.
• Why is it hard to see much detail in pictures of plant cells?

  Because the images may not show the internal structures clearly.
• What are the common structures found in both plant and animal cells?

  • Nucleus (contains genetic material)
  • Cytoplasm (where chemical reactions take place)
  • Cell membrane (controls molecule entry and exit)
  • Mitochondria (carry out aerobic respiration)
  • Ribosomes (site of protein synthesis)
• What are the three structures that plant cells have which animal cells do not?

  Chloroplasts, cell wall, and large permanent vacuole.
• What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

  Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis.
• What is the cell wall of plant cells made from?

  The cell wall is made from cellulose.
• What is the role of the cell wall in plant cells?

  The cell wall strengthens the cell.
• What is contained in the large permanent vacuole of plant cells?

  The vacuole is filled with a fluid called cell sap.
• How does the vacuole help give the plant cell its shape?

  Because it is packed full of fluid.
• What type of plant life is shown in the video as an example?

  Algae.
