A2.2.8—Differences in eukaryotic cells question 1
[Maximum number: 3]
Eukaryotes are a diverse group of organisms, including animals and plants.
Distinguish between structures in animal and plant cells.
a. cell walls are found in plant cells but not in animal cells;
b. vacuoles are large in plant and small in animal cells;
c. chloroplasts/plastids present in plants but not in animals cells;
d. centrioles present in animal cells but not in plant cells;
e. cilia/flagella present in (some) animal cells but not in plant cells;
f. Iysosomes present in animal cells but not in plant cells;
Marking guidance:
Accept answers in a table format.
Note: There must be a clear difference between the 2 types of cells.
Accept clearly annotated diagrams if the differences are evident and help to distinguish between the 2 cells.
