GMAS 5th Grade Science Practice Test

Name Both types of cells.

Animal cell and plant cell Nucleus and Cytoplasm Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Plant cell only

Correct Answer:

Animal cell and plant cell

Explanation:

The two types of cells you’re usually taught first are plant cells and animal cells. Both are eukaryotic, meaning they have a nucleus and other membrane-bound compartments. Plant cells share features like a cell wall and chloroplasts, which help them stay rigid and carry out photosynthesis, while animal cells lack those structures. That combination—two distinct, commonly studied cell types made from similar internal machinery but with key differences—fits the question best. The other choices point to parts of a cell (nucleus, cytoplasm), or to broad categories of cells (prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic), or to only one type, which aren’t the two cell types being asked for.
