The cell would lose its structural form.

The cell would not be able to store food, water, or nutrients.

The cell would not be able to keep its chromosomes in a central location.

The cell would lose control of the transport of materials in and out of the cell.

Which of these BEST describes the function of the cell membrane?

It controls what enters and leaves the cell.

It produces energy for cell functions.

It is responsible for cell reproduction.

It stores water and nutrients until needed by the cell.

Which of these BEST describes the function of the mitochondria?

It produces energy for cell functions.

It is responsible for cell reproduction.

It controls what enters and leaves the cell.

It stores water and nutrients until needed by the cell.

Which of these BEST describes the function of the vacuole?

In the 1670s, Antony Leeuwenhoek discovered microorganisms in the human mouth. Later these microorganisms were determined to cause dental plaque, which is harmful to teeth. Which of these describes another way microoganisms can be harmful ?

Microorganisms break down meat before it is eaten.

Microorganisms act on milk to make yogurt.

Microorganisms break down dead organisms.

Microorganisms break down sugars in your digestive system.

Below are sketches of a microorganism and a muscle cell. How are these two cells different in function ?

The microorganism performs all functions within a single cell, while the muscle cell performs a certain function within an organism.

The microorganism contains several different organelles surrounded by membranes, while the muscle cell does not.

The muscle cell has a rigid cell wall that gives structure to the cell, but the microorganism only has a cell membrane.

The muscle cell is able to reproduce by itself, but the microorganism needs to have another cell in order to reproduce.

A scientist uses a microscope to compare tiny multi-celled and single-celled organisms. Which statement about multi-celled and single-celled organisms is true?

Multi-celled organisms have different cells for different jobs, but single-celled organisms do not.

Multi-celled organisms can reproduce, but single-celled organisms cannot.

Multi-celled organisms have cell membranes, but single-celled organisms do not.

Multi-celled organisms can move within their environment, but single-celled organisms cannot.

Harmful microorganisms can be controlled by

washing hands with soap and water

leaving food out of the refrigerator for long periods of time

Which is an example of a harmful microorganism?

Mold used to produce penicillin

Microorganisms were discovered after the microscope was invented in the 1600s. Since then, scientists have found ways that microorganisms can be harmful. Which of these describes one way that some microorganisms are harmful?

they cause diseases that can be spread to others

they are used to make certain types of food

they are used to make certain fuels for energy

they break down waste matter in the environment

What important function do microorganisms play in an ecosystem?

They produce food from sunlight
