Giant Cell Processes Review Extra Credit (3pts)

If a plant cell is not able to perform photosynthesis, what organelle is probably broken?

• Chloroplasts, because photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast

• Nucleus, because waste removal happens with the nucleus

• Lysosomes, because water is stored in the lysosomes

If an animal cell is not able to perform osmosis, what organelle is probably broken?

• The cell membrane, because it allows water to flow in and out of the cell.

• The mitochondria, because osmosis requires energy.

• The lysosome, because it allows water to flow in and out of the cell.

If a single celled organism is not able to reproduce, what organelle is probably broken?

• The nucleus, because it is not able to make a copy of the DNA.

• The cytoplasm, because it is not able to allow small particles to flow in.

• The mitochondria, because it is not able to remove waste.

Choose the correct description of how organelles work together:

• The lysosome and the cell membrane work together to remove large pieces of waste.

• The chloroplast and the cell wall work together to produce ATP.

• The cytoplasm and the cell membrane work together to duplicate the DNA for mitosis.

Choose the incorrect description of how organelles work together:

• The mitochondria and the large vacuole work together to remove waste.

• The nucleus and the cell membrane work together to make copies of the DNA and split the cell into two.

• The chloroplasts and large vacuoles work together to take in water and make glucose.

Which is the best description of how cells produce glucose?

• The cell membrane allows water to flow in through osmosis. Carbon dioxide also flows in through diffusion. The chloroplast uses sunlight to convert those into glucose.

• The cell membrane allows water to flow in through osmosis. Oxygen also flows in through diffusion. The chloroplast uses sunlight to convert those into glucose.

• The cell membrane allows water to flow in through osmosis. Carbon dioxide also flows in through diffusion. The mitochondria uses sunlight to convert those into glucose.

Which description below contains the best reasoning that the model is a plant cell and not an animal cell?

• The model is a plant cell because it has a cell wall, which the plant needs to support and protect its cells.

• The model is a plant cell because it has a nucleus to direct its activities.

• The model is a plant cell because it has mitochondria to remove waste.

Your teacher has given you a microscope slide with plant root cells. You notice the root cells contain large vacuoles that fill with water when it rains. The roots send water up to the rest of the plant. Explain how the roots help the rest of the plant organelles work together.

• Water from the roots goes to the vacuoles in the leaf cells, which helps the chloroplasts perform photosynthesis.

• Water from the roots goes to the nucleus in the leaf cells, which helps the cell membrane remove waste.

• Water from the roots goes to the cell wall in the leaf cells, which helps the cytoplasm perform photosynthesis.

When you fall down and scrape yourself, each organelle helps your body repair its damaged and dead cells. Which is an incorrect description of how organelles work together?

• The lysosome makes a copy of the DNA, in order for the cell membrane to divide into two new cells.

• The mitochondria provide energy for the cell membrane to make a copy of itself and divide into two new cells.

• The nucleus makes a copy of the DNA, in order for the organelles to make copies of themselves and divide into two new cells.

Some diseases affect people at the cell level. For example, mitochondrial disease affects people by affecting their energy levels. What organelle would be affected in someone who has a hard time removing water from their cells?

• The cell membrane, since it allows water to flow in and out of the cell.

• The mitochondria, since it allows water to flow in and out of the cell.

• The lysosome, since it allows water to flow in and out of the cell.
