Questions with solutions
Q1 — Plant vs Animal Cells · easy · theory
Which part is found in a plant cell but NOT in an animal cell?
A. Cell membrane
B. Cytoplasm
C. Cell wall ✓ Correct
D. Nucleus
Solution: A cell wall is present only in plant cells; animal cells have just a cell membrane.
Q2 — Plant vs Animal Cells · easy · theory
The green colour of plant cells is due to a substance called:
A. Cytoplasm
B. Blood
C. Chlorophyll ✓ Correct
D. Water
Solution: Chlorophyll is the green colouring matter in plant cells that helps make food.
Q3 — Plant vs Animal Cells · easy · theory
Animal cells are usually ___ in shape.
A. triangular
B. star-shaped
C. perfectly square
D. round or irregular ✓ Correct
Solution: Animal cells are generally round or irregular, as they have no rigid cell wall.
Q4 — Plant vs Animal Cells · easy · theory
Which of these is present in BOTH plant and animal cells?
A. Nucleus ✓ Correct
B. Large central vacuole
C. Cell wall
D. Chloroplast
Solution: The nucleus is found in both plant and animal cells.
Q5 — Plant vs Animal Cells · medium · theory
The green structures in plant cells that help the plant make its own food are called:
A. Membranes
B. Vacuoles
C. Chloroplasts ✓ Correct
D. Nuclei
Solution: Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carry out food-making in plant cells.
Q6 — Plant vs Animal Cells · medium · theory
Plant cells have a large fluid-filled space called a ___, which is usually very small in animal cells.
A. nucleus
B. membrane
C. chloroplast
D. vacuole ✓ Correct
Solution: A plant cell has a big central vacuole, while animal cells have only small ones.
Q7 — Plant vs Animal Cells · medium · theory
Which part gives a plant cell its fixed, box-like shape and firm support?
A. Vacuole
B. Cell wall ✓ Correct
C. Cell membrane
D. Cytoplasm
Solution: The stiff cell wall gives a plant cell its shape and keeps it firm.
Q8 — Plant vs Animal Cells · medium · theory
Under a microscope, cells with a stiff rectangular boundary and tiny green dots are most likely:
A. non-living crystals
B. animal cells
C. plant cells ✓ Correct
D. blood cells
Solution: A rigid boundary (cell wall) and green dots (chloroplasts) are signs of plant cells.
Q9 — Plant vs Animal Cells · hard · theory
Why can an animal cell NOT make its own food the way a plant cell can?
A. It has no nucleus
B. It has a cell wall
C. It has no chloroplasts ✓ Correct
D. It has no cytoplasm
Solution: Food-making needs chloroplasts, which animal cells do not have.
Q10 — Plant vs Animal Cells · hard · theory
Which statement correctly compares plant and animal cells?
A. A plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplasts, while an animal cell has neither ✓ Correct
B. An animal cell has a cell wall but a plant cell does not
C. Only animal cells have a nucleus
D. Only plant cells have cytoplasm
Solution: Cell wall and chloroplasts are special to plant cells; animal cells have neither.
