CHOICE BOARD: Cells & Cell Anatomy Test Review

What would a biologist see if she examined a small piece of a leaf from a plant and a small piece of a root from the same plant through a microscope?

• Both the leaf and the root would be made up of cells.

• The leaf would be made up of cells, but the root would not be made up of cells.

• The root would be made up of cells, but the leaf would not be made up of cells.

• Neither the root nor the leaf would be made up of cells because plants are not made up of cells.

Where do cells fall in the levels of organization of living things?

• Cells are made up of smaller living things, called organelles.

• For something to be alive, it must be made of many cells.

• Cells are the smallest unit that can be considered alive

• Only groups of cells that function together are actually alive.

What sort of evidence must be gathered to support the idea that all living things are composed of cells?

• Comparisons should be made between non-living things and living things to determine any similarities in their structure

• Samples of many kinds of living things should be examined under a microscope to identify the presence of cells

• The functions of cells from many different living things should be monitored to see if they are identical.

• Non-living things should be examined to verify that the smaller parts of which they are composed are not cells.

Students examined the smaller structures of living things and non-living things. Which of the following observations provides evidence that the smaller parts of living things, and not the non-living things, are cells? Smaller parts of living things -

• are tightly packed together with almost no space between them.

• carry out functions that sustain characteristics of life (grow, develop, reproduce, respond, evolve, maintain homeostasis)

• are uniform in size and structure.

• cannot be seen with the unaided eye but require a microscope.

The various different parts of a cell, called organelles, are beneficial to the cell in what way?

• The parts require nutrients in order to work properly.

• The various organelles increase the energy used by the cell.

• The functions of the cells are controlled by genes.

• Each part performs unique and necessary functions.
