Which of the following characters distinguishes plant cells from animal cells?

  1. Cell wall

  2. Glyoxysomes

  3. Plastids

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Plastids are present in plant cells, whereas, an animal cell these are usually absent. It helps to trap sunlight for photosynthesis.
Glyoxysomes are present in the plant cell but are absent in an animal cell. It helps in the storage of fats in germinating cells.
The cell wall is present outside of plant cell and absent in an animal cell. It gives rigidity in a plant cell.
So, the correct answer is option D.

Plant cells differ from animal cells in having

  1. Mitochondria

  2. Cell wall

  3. Ribosomes

  4. Golgi bodies
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Plant cell and animal cells are mostly similar because both are eukaryotic cells but the only difference is that plant cell contains cell walls, vacuoles, and chloroplasts.

Hence, the correct answer is 'cell wall'.

The pigment, melanin in animals protects them from UV radiations and is functionally equivalent pigment in plants is 

  1. Melanin only

  2. Carotenes

  3. Anthocyanin

  4. Both B and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Anthocyanin is a red colour, water-soluble pigment found in plant cell vacuoles and cell walls. It is not involved in the process of photosynthesis but serves to attract insects and animals to flowers and fruits. It also serves to protect plant cell from high energy radiations like melanin pigment in animals.

In an animal cheek cell, the nucleus is generally located _________.

  1. In the centre of the cell

  2. On one side of the cell

  3. Near the plasma membrane

  4. Anywhere in the cell
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

  • In an animal cheek cell, the nucleus is located at the center of the cytoplasm. They do not contain a cell wall and a prominent vacuole. Their cytoplasm is denser and granular than plant cells. 
  • In a plant cell, the nucleus is located towards the periphery of the cell due to the presence of large vacuole.
Thus, the correct answer is 'In the center of the cell.'

Which of the following is found in plant cells, but not in animal cells?

  1. Cell wall

  2. Nucleus

  3. Endoplasmic reticulum

  4. Mitochondria
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • The cell wall is a unique structure present in plant cells. It is found as an outer covering to the plasma membrane. 
  • The cell wall is made up of cellulose, pectin, etc, according to whether it is seen in plants, fungi or bacteria.

What is the appropriate difference between plant cells and animal cells?

  1. Plant cell- cell wall is present, Animal cell- cell wall is absent

  2. Plant cell- cell wall is absent, Animal cell- cell wall is present

  3. Plant cell- cell wall is present, Animal cell- cell wall is present

  4. Plant cell- cell wall is absent, Animal cell- cell wall is absent
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Plant cell possesses a cell wall while animal cells lack. Plant cells possess chloroplasts while animal cells lack. Plant cells possess single, large vacuole while animal cells possess many, small vacuoles. Plant cells lack centriole while animal cells possess centriole. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which of the following feature will help you in distinguishing a plant cell from an animal cell?

  1. Cell wall

  2. Cell membrane

  3. Mitochondria

  4. Nucleus
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The cell wall is hard organelle found outside the cell membrane and is composed of cellulose. The outermost layer of animal cells is plasma membrane. The cell wall is absent in the animal cell.

So, the correct answer is option A.

Give one key difference between:

Plant cell and animal cell

  1. <font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">Cell wall is absent in plant cell and present in animal cell.</font>

  2. Cell wall is present in plant cell and absent in animal cell.

  3. Choloroplast is absent in plant cell and present in animal cell.

  4. Vacuole is absent is plant cell and present in animal cell.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The plant cell and animal cell differ fundamentally from each other on the basis of the cell wall. The plant cells are surrounded by the cellulosic cell wall while the animal cells lack the cell wall. Apart from the cell wall, the plant cells show the presence of the plastids while the animal cells lack the plastids. Also, there is a large central vacuole present in plant cells while the animal cells either lack the vacuole or there can be many small vacuoles.


Hence, the correct answer is 'Cell wall is present in plant cell and absent in animal cell'.

Which of following structure is NOT found in plant cells?

  1. Vacuole

  2. Nucleus

  3. Centriole

  4. Golgi bodies
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
While both animal and plant cells have microtubule organizing centres (MTOCs), animal cells also have centrioles associated with the microtubule-organizing centre ( MTOC): a complex called the centrosome. Animal cells each have a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not.
So, the correct answer is 'Centriole'.
