Learn the skill

For typical plant and animal cells, distinguish shared structures from specializations. Both have membranes and mitochondria; photosynthetic plant cells have chloroplasts. Plant cell walls provide support outside the membrane.

Worked example

A leaf cell can contain both chloroplasts and mitochondria. Having photosynthesis does not remove its need for cellular respiration.

1. Which structure regulates movement across the cell boundary? Only the nucleus The cell membrane Only a flower

2. Which structure is associated with photosynthesis in a leaf cell? A chloroplast The animal's skeleton A rib cage

3. Which structure is found in typical plant and animal cells and supports aerobic respiration? Chloroplasts in every animal cell A cellulose wall in every animal cell Mitochondria

4. Where is a plant cell wall relative to its membrane? Inside the nucleus Outside the membrane Instead of all cell contents

5. Must every plant cell contain chloroplasts? No, cells such as many root cells are not photosynthetic Yes, every plant cell catches sunlight Yes, cell types cannot differ
