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 10

Describe one way in which the structure of a red blood cell is related to its function.
Describe the function of the nucleus in a cell.
Describe the main structural difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Explain why animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
Explain why the cell membrane is described as 'selectively permeable'.
Explain why the mitochondria are often called the 'powerhouse of the cell'.
