Plant and Animal Cells

Which statement correctly explains a difference between the cells of prokaryotes and the cells of eukaryotes?

• a.  Eukaryotic cells reproduce using DNA; prokaryotic cells use RNA only to reproduce.
• a.  Eukaryotic cells do not have cell walls or vacuoles; prokaryotic cells have both of these features.
• a.  Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; prokaryotic cells lack these features.

Which of the following is a structure that is present in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

• Golgi Complex
• Plasma Membrane
• Nucleus
• Vacuole

Which of the following is a characteristic shared by both plant and animal cells?

• Chloroplasts
• Large central vacuole
• Mitochondria
• Rigid Cell Walls

Which of the following statements best describes the function of the lipid bilayer in the cell membrane?

• Lipids attract water on both sides of the bilayer.
• Lipid-soluble material cannot pass through a lipid bilayer.
• Proteins can only transport uncharged particles through the lipid bilayer.
• Proteins distributed along the bilayer can allow water to pass through the membrane.

Which of the following statements correctly explains the function of the Golgi apparatus within a cell?

• The Golgi apparatus uses oxygen to convert sugar into chemical energy and also controls the metabolism of the cell
• The Golgi apparatus contains most of the genetic material within the cell and is responsible for gene expression and DNA replication when the cell divides.
• The Golgi apparatus prepares new macromolecules such as fats and lipids by sorting and encasing them before sending them to the correct destination within a cell.
• The Golgi apparatus breaks down molecules that are not needed within the cell, and returns some of the products of digestion to the cell for use in building new cell parts.

Which of the following statements best describes the nucleus of a cell?

• The nucleus has a membrane that allows for active transport of RNA and proteins.
• The nucleus exports lysosomes which direct amino acid production within the cell.
• The nucleus is responsible for supplying the cell with chemical energy in the form of ATP.
• The nucleus contains some of the genetic material in a cell; the majority is contained in the cytoplasm.
