Match the cell structure on the diagram with the correct name or description. Write the letter of the structure on the line provided.

17. ____ The control center of the cell18. ____ Cytoplasm19. ____ Cell membrane20. ____ The powerhouse of the cell21. ____ Vacuole22. ____ Chloroplasts

23. What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis is simple cell division. It results in two identical cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Since no sex is involved, mitosis is often called asexual reproduction. Meiosis is reduction division. It results in two cells that are not identical and that contain only half the chromosome material of the parent cell. Meiosis produces the sex cells in living organisms.

24. How are plant and animal cells different?

Animal cells lack the cell wall. Plant cells have a cell wall. Animal cells lack chloroplasts; plant cells usually have chloroplasts. Vacuoles in animal cells are usually small and store food or collect waste. In plant cells, vacuoles are quite large and store water.

25. Explain how the cell demonstrates God’s design.

The intricacy, design, and organization of the cell structures and processes provide strong evidence of a Creator. The design of the cell could not have just happened.
