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 8

Describe the function of the Golgi apparatus.
Describe the main function of the plasma membrane.
Explain the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Explain why cells are so small.
Explain why plant cells need chloroplasts but animal cells do not.
