TEAS Cell Structure and Function

surrounds the cell; controls what enters/leaves cell; maintains homeostasis

• vacuole

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• lysosome

Answer explanation

While a cell wall surround a cell, it does not control what enters and leaves the cell and thereby it does not participate in homeostasis.

ONLY found in plant cells, choose three

• chloroplasts

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• central vacuole

Answer explanation

All cells have a cell membrane. The membrane is crucial to controlling what comes into an goes out of a cell. The membrane is required to maintain homeostasis in the cell. Plant cells have BOTH a cell membrane and a cell wall.

Plant cells and animal cells

• are both prokaryotic

• are both eukaryotic

• do not have a nucleus

• do not have DNA

Answer explanation

Read carefully, Plat cells an animal cells DO BOTH have both a nucleus and DNA.

The function of the mitochondria is

• is to make adenosine triphosphate

• transport materials in and out of the cell.

• Perform cellular respiration

• Use pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, and oxygen to make energy for the cell.

• Make proteins for the cell.

Answer explanation

Glycolysis, the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate occurs in the cytoplasm. In the mitochondria, oxygen is added and through the process of aerobic (with oxygen) respiration, Pyruvate is then converted to CO2 and H20. During this process, approximately 36-38 molecules of ATP is generated. What a powerhouse!
