Cell Structure Function Review

What could a student BEST conclude about the image (shown above) under the microscope?

• The image above is a eukaryotic plant cell due to lack of cell well and presence of a nucleus.

• The image above is an eukaryotic plant cell due to the presence of a cell wall and a nucleus.

• The image above is an eukaryotic animal cell due to the lack of a cell wall and presence of a nucleus.

• The image above is an eukaryotic animal cell due to the cytoplasm around the nucleus.

A student in science class is asked to sketch a basic model of an animal cell using only three essential features. The student must select the most crucial organelles to draw for a new student to understand the basic structure of an animal cell. Which of the following structures would be best to include in this basic model?

• The student should include a cell membrane, a cell wall and nucleus.

• The student should include a nucleus, mitochondria and cell membrane.

• The student should include a nucleus, cell wall, and cell membrane

• The student should include a cell membrane, nucleus and a large vacuole.

Animal cells have organelles that have specific structures and functions. Healthy animal cells are able to carry out all the necessary processes of life. Which of the following best explains why an animal cell would not be able to reproduce?

• An animal cell would not be able to reproduce if the lysosome was damaged because it is responsible for producing the energy used to perform cell division. (reproduction)

• An animal cell would not be able to reproduce if the nucleus was damaged because it is responsible for housing the genetic (DNA/Chromosomes) information needed for reproduction. (reproduction)

• An animal cell would not be able to reproduce if the cell wall was damaged because it is responsible for letting the materials into the cell that are needed for cell division. (reproduction)

• An animal cell would not be able to reproduce if the cytoplasm is damaged because it is responsible for converting sugar into nutrients that are needed to perform cell division. (reproduction)

What is the function of the nucleus of a cell?

• controls what substances come into and out of the cell

• produces ribosomes and proteins for the cell

• contains the instructions that direct the functions of the cell

• protects the nucleus with a rigid layer of cellulose
