Responses

A large, central vacuole provides water and certain nutrients for the cell.

A cell membrane regulates the movement of materials in and out of the cell.

Chloroplasts make food for the cell using the energy of sunlight.

A cell wall surrounds, protects, and provides structure for the cell.

Answer 1

The statement that applies to both a plant cell and an animal cell is:

A cell membrane regulates the movement of materials in and out of the cell.

Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane that performs this function. The other statements are specific to either plant cells (large, central vacuole; chloroplasts; cell wall) or animal cells (no cell wall).
