  2. Ribosomes & mitochondria

  3. A cell wall and chloroplasts

  4. Small vacuoles & cell wall

small vacuoles and a cell wall

A student is using a microscope to examine an unlabeled slide of a cell.  Which of these structures suggest that the student is looking at a plant cell? 


  1. Chloroplasts and cell wall

  2. Ribosomes and cytoplasm

  3. Nuclei and vacuoles

Although most of a body’s cells contain the same DNA, how does each cell become specialized?

Each cell only uses the part of the genetic information that they need.  

400

How does the plasma membrane help maintain homeostasis?

It regulates which materials enter and leave the cell.

400

What is the major difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis is the division of somatic (body) cells and meiosis is the division of gametes
