- 2. Multiple Choice
A student is comparing the organelles found in the cells of a milkweed plant and in the cells of a butterfly, using the Venn diagram shown below. Where should the student place the terms “chloroplasts” and “mitochondria”?
Chloroplasts and mitochondria should be placed in the section labeled “Both.”
Chloroplasts should be placed in the section labeled “Both,” while mitochondria should be placed in the section labeled “Milkweed Plant.”
Chloroplasts should be placed in the section labeled “Milkweed Plant,” while mitochondria should be placed in the section labeled “Both.”
Chloroplasts should be placed in the section labeled “Butterfly,” while mitochondria should be placed in the section labeled “Both.”

The diagram below shows a cell. Kevin has to identify the diagram as either a plant cell or an animal cell. Which statement best describes the diagram?
It is an animal cell because plant cells do not have a nucleus.
It is a plant cell because plant cells do not contain a cell membrane.
It is an animal cell because it has a round shape, lacks a cell wall, and has small vacuoles.
It is a plant cell because it has a round shape, is surrounded by a cell wall, and has chloroplasts.

Why is the absence of a cell wall an advantage for animal cells?
Animal cells can remain in a fixed position.
Animal cells are photosynthetic without a cell wall.
Animal cells have greater protection without a cell wall.
Animal cells can move more to accomplish necessary life functions.
