Lucia was looking at cells with a microscope. She knows the cells are classified as either plant cells or animal cells. How can she tell if these cells are plant cells?

• Look for a cell wall outside the cell membrane.

• Look for cytoplasm that is filled with organelles.

• Look for a large nucleus in the center of the cell.

• Look for a cell membrane surrounding the entire cell.

Which statement below best describes a cell structure found in plants and NOT in animal cells?

• This cell structure supplies energy to the cell.

• This cell structure pads and supports organelle inside the cell.

• This cell structure allows for materials to move in and out of the cell.

• This cell structure is made of cellulose to protect and support the cell.

Which of the following best explains why both plant and animal cells have mitochondria?

• The sugar is created in the mitochondria by both animal and plant cells.

• The sugar found in the food they both eat is broken down by the mitochondria in animal and plant cells.

• The sugar formed from photosynthesis is broken down by the mitochondria in the animal cell, and the sugar plants get from the food they eat is broken down by the mitochondria in the plant cell.

• The sugar formed from photosynthesis is broken down by the mitochondria in the plant cell, and the sugar animals get from the food they eat is broken down by the mitochondria in the animal cell.

A group of students are discussing the function of the lungs in the human body and are summarizing the information they have learned in a statement. What answer choice below best summarizes the function of the lungs?

• The lungs break down and digests food to be distributed throughout the body.

• The lungs are responsible for the exchange between gasses the body requires and waste gas.

• The lungs are responsible for the movement of the body by contracting and extending different tissues.

• The lungs are responsible for sending and receiving signals and reacting according to the message the signal carries.

What option below best describes two body systems properly interacting to maintain homeostasis?

• The musculoskeletal system moves to allow the white blood cells travel throughout the immune system.

• The respiratory system provides oxygenated blood to the nervous system to provide the necessary nutrients.  

• The immune system receives signals from the digestive system that the circulatory system is properly distributing nutrients. 

• The respiratory and circulatory system increases oxygenated blood flow when the musculoskeletal system increases movement.

Which statement below correctly distinguishes bacteria from a virus?

• Bacteria and viruses are nonliving and only cause disease in humans.

• Bacteria and viruses are living organisms that cause diseases in all living things.

• Bacteria are living, while viruses are nonliving and both can cause diseases in all living things.
