Cell Differentiation starts at 8 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Cell Differentiation.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 9
Describe how cell differentiation contributes to the formation of tissues and organs.
Describe one difference between a nerve cell and a muscle cell.
Describe one way in which plant cell differentiation is similar to animal cell differentiation.
Describe what happens to a cell's structure as it differentiates.
Explain what is meant by 'gene expression' in the context of cell differentiation.
A group of students is studying how blood cells are formed from stem cells in the bone marrow. What is this process an example of? (1) Cell division (2) Cell differentiation (3) Photosynthesis (4) Respiration
A scientist observes a group of cells that can become muscle, nerve, or blood cells. What type of cells are these most likely to be? (1) Skin cells (2) Stem cells (3) Red blood cells (4) Fat cells
A student observes that root hair cells in plants have long extensions. What is the main reason for this structural adaptation? (1) To store food (2) To absorb water and minerals (3) To perform photosynthesis (4) To transport oxygen

Fill in the blank: In animals, the early stage of development when cells begin to differentiate is called the __________ stage.
Fill in the blank: In humans, most cells become __________ after differentiation, meaning they cannot change into other cell types.
Fill in the blank: In plants, the region where cells remain undifferentiated and can divide to produce new cells is called the __________.
Fill in the blank: The ability of a stem cell to become any type of cell is called __________.
True or False: All cells in a multicellular organism have the same DNA.
True or False: All cells in a plant are capable of photosynthesis.
True or False: All plant cells are capable of differentiating into any other type of plant cell throughout the plant's life.
True or False: All specialized cells in the human body have the same structure.
