Does this image show a plant cell or an animal cell?

Answer

The answer is an animal cell.

Plants and animals are both organisms, meaning that like other living things, they are composed of cells. Both types of cells store food in vacuoles, have cytoplasm, golgi bodies, and ribosomes, but they have a number of distinct differences as well. Animal cells have a membrane and are more irregularly shaped, while plant cells have a cell wall and are rectangular. Additionally, plant cells have organelles called chloroplasts, which aid in the process of photosynthesis.

Question

Products g animal cell

What kind of cell is represented in the image above?

Answer

The answer is "an animal cell." The cell has a membrane, rather than a rigid geometric shape meaning that it is not a plant cell. Additionally, you can clearly see the nucleus and mitochondria, but no chloroplasts.

Question

Elodea chloroplast

What type of cell is pictured in the image above?

Answer

The answer is "a plant cell." The image shows a microscope slide of a plant cell with distinct chloroplasts and rectangular cell walls. Another hint that it's a plant cell, is that the cells and chloroplasts are green!

Question

Breonna and Taylor are lab partners. They are looking at cells through a microscope to determine whether the cells are plant cells or animal cells.

  • The cells are slightly rectangular and geometric
  • The cells have nuclei
  • The cells have mitochondria
  • The cells are right next to each other
  • The cells have chloroplasts

Breonna says they are plant cells because they have cell walls. Taylor agrees they are plant cells but she says it's because they have chloroplasts. Which of the following students has the correct explanation to write on their lab report?

Answer

The answer is "They both have correct explanations." The primary distinction between plant and animal cells is that plant cells have cell walls while animal cells have cell membranes. Plant cells have chloroplasts but animal cells do not. All cells have a nucleus so this is not relevant to the distinction.

Question

Which of the following answer choices is a similarity between plant and animal cells?

Answer

the answer is "all of these." Plant and animal cells have many similarities. The differences between plant and animal cells are that plant cells have chloroplasts and cell walls but animal cells don't have chloroplasts and have cell membranes.

Question

Images

Does the image above represent a plant or animal cell?

Answer

The answer is an animal cell because the shape of the cell is irregular, and there are no chloroplasts visible. If the cell were more rectangular or had visible chloroplasts it would probably be a plant cell.
