Question

Diagrams of two different cells are given below. Which one of the two is a plant cell? Support your answer.
(i) Name the parts 1, 2, 3 and 4.
(ii) Write the functions of 1 and 3.
(iii) Draw a diagram to show the structure of 4 and label the parts.
(iv) Draw a diagram of a plant cell and label the parts

Answer 1

2nd diagram is a plant cell

Answer 2

The second figure is of a plant cell while the first one is an animal cell. Plant and animal cells have many differences but the most noticeable is in the shape, presence or lack of cell wall and chloroplast.

The differences between animal and plant cells:

• Animal cells have irregular and almost round shapes while
• Plant cells have a rectangular shape
• Animal cells do not have cell walls while plant cells do.
• Plant cells have chloroplast while animal cells do not

Parts of the figures:

• Part 1 is smooth endoplasmic reticulum
• Part 2 is the centrioles
• Part 3 is the cytoplasm
• Part is the chloroplast
