Quiz #4: Cells

What function do ribosomes have within a cell?

• Ribosomes produce ATP energy.

• Ribosomes synthesize (build) proteins.

• Ribosomes contain genetic material.

• Ribosomes control what enters and exits the cell.

You have come across some strange looking cells while looking at a sample under a microscope in class. You discovered that they have a cell wall and cytoplasm but you did not see a nucleus. What type of cell must you be observing?

• plant

• prokaryote

• eukaryote

• animal

In which organelle does cellular respiration/energy production occur?

• mtiochondria

• cell membrane

• chloroplast

• ribosome

Select all cell structures that are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

• cell membrane

• ribosomes

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

The model diagrams a circular cell type. What type of cell is it?

• plant cell

• animal cell

• bacterial cell

• prokaryotic cell

When compared to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells

• are simple, smaller, and have DNA floating freely throughout the cell.

• are complicated, larger, and have DNA captured in a membrane-bound structure.

• are round and hard, unlike rectangular and soft prokaryotic cells.

• are able to move from place to place, unlike stationary prokaryotic cells.

Which of the following are NOT found in both plant and animal eukaryotic cells?

• vacuoles

• nuclei

• mitochondria

• cell wall

The picture shows a type of cell with parts Q, R, S, and T labeled. This cell can be classified by part

• Q, because it is free-floating DNA, which classifies this cell as prokaryotic.

• R, because it is a carbon molecule, which classifies this cell as eukaryotic.

• S, because it is cytoplasm, which classifies this cell as prokaryotic.

• T, because it is a tail-like structure, which classifies this cell as eukaryotic.

The diagram shows a rectangular cell with a large structure responsible for storing water, nutrients, and waste. What type of cell is shown?

• plant cell

• animal cell

• bacterial cell

• prokaryotic cell

Structure C labels the organelle responsible for the everyday functions of the cell and contains DNA. What is it?

• cell membrane

• flagellum

• nucleus

• cytoplasm
