Cell Structure, Function, and Transport

Which is used to make proteins in the cell?

• nucleus

• golgi apparatus

• ribosomes

• vesicles

All of the following are principles of the cell theory EXCEPT _____.

• all living things are made of one or more cells

• all living things are made of one or more cells

• water is the main ingredient in every cell

• the cell is the smallest unit of life

What is the main difference between a prokaryotic cell and an eukaryotic cell?

• Only prokaryotic cells have vacuoles.

• Eukaryotic cells are smaller than prokaryotic cells.

• Prokaryotic cells have many organelles, each with their own specialized functions.

• Only eukaryotic cells have its genetic material surrounded by a membrane.

What is the main difference between active transport and passive transport?

• During active transport the water inside the cell is used to transport substances throughout the cell. Passive transport uses the cell’s cytoplasm to move substances around the cell.

• Passive transport moves substances throughout the cell without using the cell’s energy and active transport moves substances using the cell’s energy.

• Active transport moves substances from higher concentrations to lower concentrations and passive transport moves substances from lower concentrations to higher concentrations.

• Passive transport moves substances that are too large to get through the cell membrane by forming a vesicle inside the cell and active transport forms the vesicle on the outside of the cell.

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

• Cytoplasm
• Cell Membrane
• Mitochondria
• Vacuole
