Cells

How does the vacuole in an animal cell differ from the vacuole in a plant cell?

• It is never fluid filled.
• It is larger and gives shape to the animal cell.
• There is no difference; vacuoles are all the same.
• It is smaller and does not give shape to the animal cell.

No matter what the cell type, prokaryotic or eukaryotic, plant or animal, the ____________ forms a protective barrier between the exterior environment and the interior of the cell.

• cell wall
• cytoskeleton
• cell membrane
• glycoproteins

The shape of plant cells are determined by how much ________ is contained within the vacuole.

• air
• glucose
• salt 
• water

According to cell theory, what do any four organisms have in common?

• They are made of one or more cells.
• They must undergo sexual reproduction.
• They have a nucleus or control center.
• They require carbon dioxide to produce food.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• to give shape to the cell
• to increase the number of cells
• to control what enters and leaves the cell
• to produce macromolecules within the cell

• nucleus
• mitochondria
• golgi bodies
• endoplasmic reticulum

This is where the genetic information is found in a eukaryotic cell?

• nuclues
