Where does algae (plant-like protist) live? | In water |
Name the storage area in plants where water is stored. | Vacuoles |
What does the leaf's cuticle do? | Reduces evaporation (water leaving the plant). |
A group of similar cells that perform a similar function. | Tissues |
What are the three functions of a plant's vascular tissue? | 1. Transports water and food inside the plant.
2. Supports plant's stems and leaves.
3. Positions plant's leaves closer to the sun. |

What two cell structures are found in plant cells but not animal cells? | Cell wall and chloroplast |
What chemical is the cell wall made up of? | Cellulose |
Is a plant cell a prokaryote or eukaryote? | Eukaryote (has a nucleus) |
What is the function of a cell's nucleus? | Contains the chemical instructions that direct the cell's activities. |
What is the function of a plant cell's vacuole? | Storage area for food and water. |
What is the function of a cell's cytoplasm? | Suspends all cell parts. Contains all cell structures. |
What is the function of a cell's cell membrane? | Transports materials in and out of the cell. |
This cell structure gives a plant its shape and also gives protection to the cell. | Cell wall |
