Reporting category 1: Cell Structure and Function

How does the cell wall serve as similar purpose in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

• It sorts and packages proteins for delivery.

• It provides the cell with strength and rigidity.

• It controls what can cross the cell membrane.

• It aids in active transport.

A prokaryotic cell is similar to a eukaryotic cell in that both types of cells contain-

• a mitochondrion

• cytoplasm.

• a nucleus.

• vacuoles.

A Prokaryotic cell is unlike a eukaryotic cell in that-

• a prokaryotic cell contains more space than a eukaryotic cell.

• a prokaryotic cell contains a nucleus, and a eukaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus.

• a prokaryotic cell contains a single membrane-bound organelle, and a eukaryotic cell contains multiple membrane-bound organelles.

• a prokaryotic cell contains fewer genes than a eukaryotic cell.

Which feature of mobility can eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have?

• Flagella

• Cilia

• Pseudopoda

• Pili

Maggie places cells of Elodea, a freshwater plant, on a wet-mount microscope slide. She uses a saltwater solution to prepare the slide. When she observes the cells under the microscope, what is she most likely to see?

• The cells have shrunk within the cell walls.

• The cell walls have dissolved, releasing the cell.

• The cells will swollen, expanding the cell walls.

• The cells have remained unchanged,

Felicia observed that the lettuce plants in her garden had wilted after several days of drought. The next day, there was a downpour of rain, and the leaves began to swell. What cellular processes caused this effect in the lettuce plants?

• Photosynthesis

• Active Transport

• Cellular Transport

• Osmosis

Which two processes does this diagram most directly model?

• Energy Conversions and synthesis of new molecules.

• Synthesis of new molecules and homeostasis.

• Transport of molecules and energy conversions.

• Homeostasis and transport of molecules.

Cells can generate as many as 38 molecules of ATP from one molecule of glucose. Which cellular processes is responsible for this production?

• Protein Synthesis

• Photosynthesis

• Aerobic Respiration

• Anaerobic Respiration

What conditions would cause a Euglena to fill with water?

• The concentration of water is greater outside the cell than inside the cell.

• The temperature of the water in the vacuole is higher than the temperature of its environment.

• The concentration of the water inside the cell is the same as the concentration outside of the cell.

• The temperature of the water in the vacuole is i lower than the temperature of its environment.

A virus must invade a host cell to -

• grow.

• protect itself.

• replicate.

• feed.
