Questions Related to animal cells vs plant cells
Plant cells differ from animal cells in having __________.
-
cell wall
-
plastids
-
a large central vacoule
-
all of these
A plant cell has rigid wall on the outside. It has plastids and a centrally located large vacuole. All of these are absent in an animal cell.
The shape of an animal and plant cell is primarily maintained respectively by the following
-
Exoskeleton, endoskeleton
-
Cell membrane, cell wall
-
Cytoskeleton, cell wall
-
Endoskeleton, cytoskeleton
Which of the following is found in any plant cell but not in animal cell?
-
Cell wall
-
Mitochondria
-
Cell membrane
-
Nucleus
- The cell wall is a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose.
- A major function of the cell wall is to give the cell strength and structure and to filter molecules that pass in and out of the cell.
- It is absent in the animal cell.
The term 'sarcode' for protoplasm was coined by
-
Dujardin
-
Hugo Von Mohl
-
Fontana
-
F. Meischer
'Protoplasm is the physical basis of life' was suggested by
-
Purkinje
-
Huxley
-

Cell organelle which differentiates plant cell from animal cell is
-
Cell membrane
-
Plastids
-
Nucleolus
-
Vacuoles
The plastid is the most important double-membrane organelle in the cells of plants and algae and absent in animal cells. Plastids are the site of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cell. Plastids are cell organelles found in all plant cells and in euglenoids. They bear some specific pigments which impart specific colours to the plants.
The animal and plant cells differ in their
-
Movement
-
Growth
-
Nutrition
-
Respiration
Main difference between animal cell and plant cell is in
-
Mode of Nutrition
-
Growth
-
Movement
-
Respiration
- The animal cell is heterotrophic, i.e., cannot synthesize their own food. They have to obtain food from other organisms.
- Plant cells possess chloroplast using which they can synthesize their own food material, i.e., they are autotrophic. Therefore, their mode of nutrition differs.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Animal cells do not have
-
Cell wall
-
Chloroplast
-
Plastids
-
All of the above
Animal cells do not have a cell wall. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. In animal cells, energy is produced from food (glucose) via the process of cellular respiration. The plastid is a major double-membrane organelle found, among others in the cells of plants and algae. These plastids are not present in animal cells.
Which of the following combinations are present in plant cell but not in animal cell?
-
Cell wall and plastid
-
Cell wall and cell membrane
-
Plastid and nucleus
-
Cell membrane and cytoplasm
