Which of the following can you find in both an animal cell and a plant cell? **hint** What is the 'control center' of a cell?

A nucleus

Chloroplasts

A large central vacuole

Cell wall

Which type of plant cell is responsible for carrying water up from the roots to the rest of the plant? **hint** This type of cell acts like a plumbing system in the plant.

Xylem cells

Phloem cells

Root hair cells

Leaf cells

Why is it important for the body to have a variety of specialized cells? **hint** Think about how a team works together to achieve a goal.

To allow for the efficient completion of complex tasks.

To make the body look more colorful.

So that each cell can perform all of the body's functions

To make the body heavier and stronger.

What is the name of the green pigment inside plant leaf cells that absorbs sunlight? **hint** It's the pigment that makes plants green!
