Review Quiz Chapter 6

A student observes a cell through a light microscope and correctly decides that it is a plant cell. What observation would lead to that conclusion?

• it has a large, central vacuole

• ribosomes are visible

• the nucleus is in the center of the cell

• a cell membrane is present

What structures distinguish plant cells from animal cells?

• chloroplasts and cell membranes

• ribosomes and vacuoles

• vacuoles and mitochondria

• chloroplasts and cell walls

Membrane-bound organelles would be found in which type of cells?

• plant cells only

• prokaryotic cells only

• eukaryotic cells only

• animal cells only

Which structure contains the genetic information for the cell?

• M

• N

• O

• P

What is a similarity among animal, plant, and bacterial cells?

• all have nuclei

• all have chloroplasts

• all have cytoplasm

• all have mitochondria

Why are cell walls necessary in plant cells but not in animal cells?

• cell walls are important in storing water for plants

• cell walls allow roots to absorb water from the soil

• cell walls provide structure and support for plants

• cell walls contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis

The diagram shows a human cheek cell magnified 100x using a light microscope. If the cell were compared to a factory, as what part of the factory would the structure labeled X most likely function?

• storage room

• front door

• assembly line

• main office

If the structure labeled Q stopped working properly, how would the cell be immediately impacted?

• the cell would not be able to reproduce itself through cell division

• the cell would not be able to capture energy from sunlight to make food

• the cell would not have the energy needed for cellular activities

• the cell would not make the proteins needed for repair and growth

If the ribosomes of a cell stop working, what process most likely will be interrupted?

• the cell’s ability to control what enters and leave

• the cell’s ability to make proteins

• the cell’s ability to store excess water and nutrients

• the cell’s ability to release energy

Which structures distinguish plant cells from animal cells?

• X and Y

• Y and Z

• W and X

• W and Z
