Quiz Review on the Cell Theory

Quiz Review on the Cell Theory

Pay careful attention to the information we review as you will see it in a few minutes on today's Quiz!

Cells

Cells are basic units of structure and function in living things. This means that cells form the parts or an organism and carry out all of the an organism's processes, or functions.

Organelles

The parts of the cell that are organized for specific functions are called organelles. The organelles include such structures as the nucleus and the mitochondria. The nucleus contains the genetic material and the mitochondria convert energy.

Different Organelles found in a cell

Nucleus. nucleus; animal cell. ... Ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell. ... Endoplasmic reticulum. ... Golgi apparatus. ... Chloroplasts. ... Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

What do we call the part of the cell that helps it function?

• Organelles

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Membrane

• Cell

Multiple Choice

What do we call the basic unit of all living things?

• Animals

• Monkeys

• Cells

• Big Bang Theory

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT an organelle found in a cell?

• Golgi Apparatus

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Mitropartus

Plant Cells vs Animal Cells

The plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and a central vacuole—structures not found in animal cells. Plant cells do not have lysosomes or centrosomes.

Vacuoles

A vacuole is the storage area of the cell. Vacuoles store water, food, and waste.

Lysosome

A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.

Multiple Choice

What does a plant cell have that animal cells do not?

• Cell wall

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Vacuole

Multiple Choice

What do we call the part of the cell that stores water & liquid?

• Golgi

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Vacuole

Multiple Choice

What do we call the part of the cell that helps get rid of waste?

• Golgi

• Lysosome

• Cytoplasm

• Vacuole

Mitochondria

Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Often call the "power house of the cell"!

Chloroplasts

In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.

Multiple Choice

What do we call the powerhouse of the cell since it is where sugar is used to generate energy?

• Golgi

• Lysosome

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

Multiple Choice

What do we call the part of a plant cell are where photosynthesis takes place?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplasts

• Lysosomes

• Vacuole

Unicellular

Unicellular organisms are made up of only one cell that carries out all of the functions needed by the organism, while multicellular organisms use many different cells to function. Unicellular organisms include bacteria, protists, and yeast.

Cell Wall vs Membrane

A rigid layer that gives protection, support, and shape to the cell. The cell wall forms protection to one cell, while the cell membrane controls the passage of materials into and out of a cell.

Multiple Choice

What do you call an organism made of only 1 cell?

• Mutlicellular Organisms

• Monocellular Organisms

• Unicellular Organisms

Multiple Choice

What is the main difference between a cell wall and a cell membrane?

• Cell membrane is found in plants and the cell wall is found in animals

• Cell membrane is a rigid structure and the cell wall regulates passage in and out of cell

• The cell wall provides support to the cell while the cell membrane allows passage through
