DMS Cells Cumulative

Which phrase best describes the function of mitochondria?

• Located in the cytoplasm

• Bacteria-sized organelle

• Converts energy for cell use

• Contains a folded inner membrane

Which cell organelle stores DNA?

• Cell wall

• Cell membrane

• Vacuole

• Nucleus

The purpose of the cell wall is to-

• regulate what goes into and out of a cell

• control the functions of a cell

• convert energy from food into energy for a cell

• provide structure for a cell

Which of the following statements accurately represents the differences in plant and animal cells?

• Only plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole.

• Only animal cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole

• Only plant cells have a cell membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm

• Only animal cells have a cell membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm

What is the basic structural and functional unit of all living things?

• atom

• cell

• bacteria

• animalcules

What does it mean to say that a cell membrane is semipermeable/selectively permeable?

• it allows some materials to pass through

• it allows nothing to enter the cell, only to leave

• It only allows things into the cell and not out

• it allows all materials to pass through

What is the function of an organelle?

• to take up space
