Explanation: The chloroplasts are so-named because they contain chlorophyll, the
molecule that plays a major role in the process of photosynthesis.
3. Which of the following statements correctly describes a difference between plant cells and
animal cells?
A. Plant cells have an envelope surrounding the nucleus. Animal cells do not.
B. Animal cells contain mitochondria. Plant cells do not.
C. Animal cells contain chloroplasts. Plant cells do not.
D. Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall. Animal cells are not.
Correct Answer: D. Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall. Animal cells are not.
Explanation: Animal cells are not surrounded by a cell wall. Plant cells are. Both types of
cells have a membrane surrounding their nucleus and contain mitochondria. Animal cells
do not contain chloroplasts, while plant cells do.
4. Which of the following statements correctly describes a difference between bacterial cells
and animal cells?
Correct Answer: C. Animal cells have a membrane surrounding their nucleus. Bacterial
cells do not have membrane surrounding the nucleus.

Explanation: The genetic information inside the nucleus of animal cells is surrounded and
protected by a nuclear membrane. Bacterial cells do not have a nuclear membrane.
Instead, their genetic material is found in an open region of the cell called a nucleoid that
is not surrounded by a membrane. Both animal cells and bacterial cells have
cytoskeletons and ribosomes. Bacterial cells are surrounded by cell walls while animal
cells are not.
A. Nucleolus
B. Vesicles
C. Mitochondrion
D. Golgi apparatus
Explanation: The mitochondria are the location where nutrients are converted into a form
of energy that cells can use.
