Six original Cambridge-style questions on cell structure: comparing plant and animal cells, the bacterial cell, the functions of each structure and reading cell diagrams.
State three structures found in a palisade mesophyll cell that are not found in a cheek cell.
State the function of (a) the cell membrane, (b) the nucleus, (c) the ribosomes, (d) the chloroplasts.
Describe three ways in which the structure of a bacterial cell is different from the structure of an animal cell.
A student looks at cells from the root of a bean plant under a light microscope. She sees a cell wall and a large vacuole but no chloroplasts. She concludes that the cells are not plant cells. Explain why her conclusion is wrong.
A diagram of a leaf cell shows a thick outer layer, a large clear central space, a round darkly stained body pressed against one side and many small green oval bodies. Name the structures described.
A palisade mesophyll cell contains both chloroplasts and mitochondria. Explain why it needs both.
Mark this once you have attempted all six and checked your working. It records a Practiced badge on the topic and adds a one-time bonus. Revealing the solutions alone does not count.
