Organization and Development Test

1. / Which of the following structures would normally be found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell?
A. / mitochondrion
B. / vacuoles
C. / cell wall
D. / cell membrane
2.During science class, a group of students went on a field trip to a nearby pond where they collected samples of pond water and pond plants. The students used a microscope to study cells in their samples. They also took samples of their own cheek cells and studied them using the microscope. The results are shown in the following table.
Sample / Nucleus / Cell
Membrane / Cell Wall / Cytoplasm / Chloroplast / Vacuole
cheek cells / X / X / X / X
pond plant cells / X / X / X / X / X / X
pond organism #1 / X / X / X / X / X / X
pond organism #2 / X / X / X / X
