Match the following characteristics with the correct type of cells:

Cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin = Plant cells Cell walls made of chitin = Fungi cells Cell walls made of peptidoglycan = Bacteria cells Cell walls made of pseudopeptidoglycan = Archaea cells

Match the features with the respective cell type:

Presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch = Plant cells Absence of flagella or centrioles, except in the gametes = Plant cells Unique method of cell division involving the formation of a cell plate or phragmoplast = Plant cells Large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure = Plant cells

Match the following cells with their distinctive features:

Plant cells = Primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin Fungi cells = Cell walls made of chitin Bacteria cells = Cell walls made of peptidoglycan Archaea cells = Cell walls made of pseudopeptidoglycan

Match the following terms with their definitions:

<p>Cellulose = A complex carbohydrate that forms the primary cell wall of green plants Hemicelluloses = Polysaccharides present in plant cell walls Pectin = A structural heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary cell walls of plants Turgor pressure = The force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall</p> Signup and view all the answers
