AP Biology Cell Structure and Function

Which of the following is major cause of the size limits for certain types of cells?

• evolutionary progression in cell size; more primitive cells have smaller sizes.
• the need for sufficient surface area to support the cell's metabolic needs.
• limitation on the strength and integrity of the plasma membrane as cell size increases
• the difference in plasma membranes between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Large numbers of ribosomes are present in cells that specialize in producing which of the following molecules?

• glycogen
• cellulose
• proteins
• lipids

All of the following are part of a prokaryotic cell except

• a plasma membrane
• DNA
• nucleolus
• ribosomes

Which organelles modifies proteins and packages them into vesicles to be shipped out of the cell?

• free ribosomes
• rough ER
• smooth ER
• golgi apparatus

Which organelle uses hydrolytic enzymes to digest substances?

• lysosome
• peroxisome
• smooth ER
• central vacuole

This organelle means 'empty cavity' in Latin.  They are actually fluid-filled sacs that store water, food, wastes, salts or pigments.

• vacuoles
• vesicles
• ribosomes
• microtubules

Eukaryotic Cell

• a cell containing a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
• a cell that lacks a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles; includes archaea and bacteria
• the idea that the mitochonria and chloroplasts were once free living and were engulfed by other prokaryotic cells.
• a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction

What kind of cells have a cell wall?

• Plants and Animals
• Animals
• Plants
• Plants and Bacteria

What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

• to make energy
• modify and transport proteins made by the ribosomes on it
• store water and other vital molecules
• to make lipid materials and to break down toxins
