Cell Structure and Function starts at 6 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Cell Structure and Function. 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 7

Describe one difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Describe the main difference between plant and animal cells.
Explain why plant cells need chloroplasts but animal cells do not.
Name one structure found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
What is the function of lysosomes in animal cells?
