Which organelle is labeled G? (plant)

cell membrane

Which organelle is labeled A?(animal)

James is making models of plant and animal cells using objects supplied by his teacher to represent organelles. For one cell, he will place the objects in a shoebox. First he fills a balloon with water and places it in the shoe box. He also drops a handful of marbles into the box. Which statement most likely describes the structures he has represented so far?

He is making a plant cell. The box is the cell wall, and the balloon represents the large vacuole. The marbles are the tiny ribosomes.

Which plant-cell organelle supports and maintains the cell's shape and protects the cell from damage?

cell wall

Which organelles are found only in plant cells?

cell wall, chloroplasts

What function do chloroplasts perform?

They use light energy to make food for the plant.

Which statement about vacuoles is true?

Vacuoles are larger in plant cells than in animal cells.

Which organelle is labeled H? (animal)

cell membrane

Herbicides are being used to kill weeds in a nearby field. The plants absorb the herbicides from the soil. Which organelle in the plant will most likely store the absorbed herbicide waste?

vacuole

Which organelle is labeled A? (plant)

vacuole
