  • It helps in photosynthesis.
Which structure in plant cells provides rigidity and strength to the plant?
  • Cell wall
  • Nucleus
  • Mitochondria
  • Cytoplasm
What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?
  • They help in photosynthesis and make the plant green.
  • They store waste products.
  • They regulate cell growth.
  • They provide strength to the cell.
What is the function of the vacuole in plant cells?
  • It stores important substances, gets rid of waste, and maintains the shape of the cell.
  • It helps in photosynthesis.
  • It produces energy for the cell.
  • It controls cell division.
How do plant and animal cells differ in terms of vacuoles?
  • Plant cells have large vacuoles, while animal cells have small or no vacuoles.
  • Animal cells have large vacuoles, while plant cells have small or no vacuoles.
  • Both plant and animal cells have large vacuoles.
  • Neither plant nor animal cells have vacuoles.
Why do cells in different organisms vary in shape and structure?
  • Because their shape and structure relate to their function.
  • Because they are all the same size.
  • Because they all perform the same function.
  • Because they are only found in plants.

  • Muscle cells are spindle-shaped, while nerve cells are long with branches.
  • Both are round in shape.
  • Muscle cells are round, while nerve cells are spindle-shaped.
  • Both are square in shape.
