Quiz Description

Here we are again with the plants and animal cells quiz. In this quiz, you will be able to master some basic cell theories, as well as the differences between plants and animal cells. There is also going to be a look into the various cell organelles. It is going to be an exciting moment practicing with this quiz. Before we proceed, let’s have a recap of what cells are:

A cell is the basic unit of structure and function of all living organisms. Of Course we have two main types of cells which are the plant cell and the animal cell. These two cells are found in plants and animals respectively. There are some differences that exist between the two types, one of which is the presence of a cellulose cell wall in a plant cell, and its absence in an animal cell. Also, there exist a lot of similarities between the two, some of which are: the presence of a nucleus, a cell membrane, mitochondria, etc.

It should be noted that the study of cells is one of the most important things to do as far as biology is concerned. Are you determined to have a pass in any questions on cells? Just take this quiz and improve on your understanding. Good luck!
