Cell Structure and Function

This organelle acts like a gatekeeper, allowing some materials to pass through it, but not others.

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Membrane

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

What structure is in plant cells but not animal cells?

• Cell Membrane
• Mitochondria
• Cell Wall
• Vacuole

Where is the genetic material found in the cell? 

• Nucleolus
• Cytoplasm
• Nucleus
• Chloroplast

What distinguishes a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic cell is the presence of

• a cell wall.

• a nucleus.

• DNA.

• ribosomes.

In eukaryotic cells, chromosomes carrying genetic information are found in the

• ribosomes.

• lysosomes.

• nucleus.

• cell Membrane.

What structure is responsible for making proteins?

• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Golgi Apparatus
• Ribosome

What is the difference between rough and smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum?

• There is no difference.

• Plants have rough ER, animals have smooth ER.

• Prokaryotes have rough ER, eukaryotes have smooth ER.

• Rough ER has ribosomes, smooth ER does not.

Plant cells and animal cells

• are both prokaryotic.

• are both eukaryotic.

• do not have a nucleus.

• do not have DNA.

The function of the mitochondria is

• to make proteins for the cell.

• to transport materials in and out of the cell.

• to break down waste products for the cell.

• to break down glucose through cellular respiration and make energy for the cell.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

• does not have ribosomes on the membrane and makes lipids for the cell.

• has ribosomes on the membrane and makes proteins for the cell.

• has ribosomes on the membrane and makes lipids for the cell.

• does not have ribosomes on the membrane and make glucose for the cell.
