Animal Cell

Amino acids link together to form proteins. In which organelle would this process occur?

• Lysosome

• Ribosome

• Centriole

• Mitochondria

A storage structure- in an animal cell there are many small ones, but in a plant cell there is just one large one.

• vacuole
• ribosomes
• golgi body
• chloroplast

It is an organelle in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum packages them and distributes them to other parts of the cell.

• vacuole

• chloroplast

• ribosome

• golgi apparatus

Jared observes a cell in biology lab with the light microscope. The cell has the following structures: nucleus, cell wall, and chloroplast. Identify the type of cell that Jared is observing.

• animal

• plant

• fungus

• bacteria

Hair and nails are mostly filled with the protein keratin. Keratin is produced by keratinocytes. The cells must contain several of which of the following organelles?

• mitochondria

• endoplasmic reticulum

• ribosomes

• lysosomes

Carrie observes an electron micrograph of a cell during biology lab. The cell has a flagellum, ribosomes, cell wall, and no apparent nucleus. Which of the following is likely true of the cell that Carrie is observing?

• The cell also contains mitochondria.

• The presence of the organelles proves that the cell is eukaryotic.

• The cell is a plant because of the cell wall.

• The cell is prokaryotic.

Which of the following best describes the function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

• Modifies carbohydrates and proteins, placing them into vesicles

• Manufactures proteins and nucleic acids using the DNA code

• Modifies and transports proteins after the ribosome makes them

• Manufactures lipids and then transports them to a new location

It releases energy for cells to use. This organelle is common to most types of eukaryotic cells.

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

• lysosomes

• nucleolus

Where can you find the DNA in an animal cell?

• Free floating in the cytoplasm
• Within the nucleus
• Curled around the ribosomes
• There is no DNA
