13. A student peeled a layer of cells from the inside of an onion bulb. He placed them in a drop of
water on microscope slide and covered them with a coverslip. Figure 1.1 shows what he saw
when viewing the cells through a microscope. How can he differentiate between plant cell and
animal cell? [3]

Feature Plant cell Animal cell

A Cell activities controlled by Nucleus and cell membrane Nucleus and cell wall
B Location of chlorophyll Chloroplasts Cytoplasm
 C Location of DNA Cytoplasm Nucleus
D Visible cell wall with big Present Absent
central vacuole
i. The cells in fig 1.1 are all similar to each other.
Give the name for a group of similar cells. _________________________
ii. List two differences ( other than given in above options) between plant cell and animal cell
a. ________________________________ b. ________________________________
14. The diagram shows a typical animal cell as seen through an electronic microscope

(a) Name the structures labelled A – D in the diagram. [4]

(b) Identify the part of the cell that is responsible for each of the following: [2]
(i) stores all genetic information (ii) generation of ATP from the breakdown of glucose
(iii) reproduction of proteins from amino acids [1]

15. Fig 17.1 shows a cheek cell from a person’s mouth.

a. On fig 17.1,
i. Identify the parts labelled X and Y [2]
ii. Draw and label three extra structures that would change this animal cell into a plant cell [3]
iii. Name the chemical found in the nucleus that controls the production of protein [1]
