Question

plant cell coloring
cell membrane (orange)
nucleoplasm (yellow)
mitochondria (red)
vacuole (light blue)
chromosomes (gray)
cell wall (dark green)
nucleolus (brown)
chloroplasts (light green)
smooth endoplasmic reticulum (pink)
rough endoplasmic reticulum (pink)
ribosome (purple)
cytoplasm (white)
golgi apparatus (dk blue)

1. name two things found in a plant cell that are not found in an animal cell:
2. how does the shape of a plant cell differ from that of an animal cell?
3. what is the function of the chloroplasts?
4. what is the function of the vacuole?
5. what is the function of mitochondria?

Explanation:

1. Plant cells have unique structures like cell walls for support and chloroplasts for photosynthesis, which animal cells lack.
2. Plant cells are often more rigid and rectangular - shaped due to the cell wall, while animal cells are more irregular in shape.
3. Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
4. The vacuole stores water, nutrients, and waste products, and also helps maintain cell turgor.
5. Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, producing ATP through cellular respiration.

Answer:

1. Cell wall, Chloroplasts
2. Plant cells are more rigid and often rectangular due to the cell wall; animal cells are more irregular.
3. Site of photosynthesis, converting light energy to chemical energy.
4. Stores water, nutrients, waste; maintains cell turgor.
5. Produce ATP through cellular respiration.
