Cell Structure: True/False

Mitochondria is the power house of the cell

TRUE. The mitochondria releases chemical energy from food.

Animal cells have a cell wall

FALSE: Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane, but animal cells do not have cell walls.

Prokaryotes are generally larger than eukaryotes

FALSE: Eukaryotes are generally larger, as they are multicellular.

both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have a nucleus

FALSE: Eukaryotes have a defined, membrane-bound nucleus while prokaryotes do not.

The flagella is used to keep the cell in place

FALSE: Flagella are whip-like appendages that allow cells to move.

Both plant and animal cells contain chloroplasts

FALSE: Only plant cells contain chloroplasts.

Chloroplasts, cell wall, and vacuole are larger in an animal cells.

False. Chloroplasts and cell walls are found only in plant cells. Vacuoles are smaller in animal cells than in plant cells.

The rough ER has ribosomes attached

TRUE

Human beings are good examples of eukaryotic cells

TRUE: Human beings are eukaryotes because their cells have membrane bound organelles and a nucleus.

photosynthesis is unique to plant cells

TRUE: Only plant cells have chloroplasts, the organelle responsible for photosynthesis.

Plant cells make their own glucose, while animal cells rely on external sources for glucose

TRUE: Plants have chloroplasts, which serves as a glucose source within the plant.

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories

True

The nucleus is found in both plant and animal cells

True. The nucleus contains the DNA, or genetic material, and is found in both plant and animal cells.
