Most of the reactions by which energy from

carbohydrates is released for use by the cell take place

within the

Accepted Answer

mitochondria

Answer

nuclei

Answer

ribosomes

Answer

vacuoles

Question 5

An ameba is a single-celled organism. It uses its cell

membrane to obtain food from its environment,

digests the food with the help of organelles called

lysosomes, and uses other organelles to process the

digested food. From this, we can best infer that

Accepted Answer

structures in amebas have functions similar to

organs in multicellular organisms

Answer

all single-celled organisms have lysosomes to

digest food

Answer

amebas are capable of digesting any type of food

molecule

Answer

single-celled organisms are as complex as

multicellular organisms

Question 6

The diagram below represents a cell in the human body. Which statement concerning the structures within this cell is accurate?

Accepted Answer

Structure 3 is a mitochondrion, where respiration takes place

Answer

Structure 1 is a chloroplast that carries out photosynthesis

Answer

Structure 2 is a vacuole that contains DNA.

Answer

Structure 4 is the cell membrane, which provides rigid support for the cell.

Question 7

Mitochondria provide ribosomes with

Accepted Answer

ATP for protein synthesis

Answer

amino acids for protein synthesis

Answer

oxygen for respiration

Answer

carbon dioxide for the production of sugars

Question 8

The nucleus contains molecules of A, which

Accepted Answer

store hereditary information

Answer

recycle waste products

Answer

remove water from the cell

Answer

regulate the pH of cytoplasm

Question 9

Which cell structure is represented by B?

Accepted Answer

ribosome

Answer

vacuole

Answer

cytoplasm

Answer

chloroplast

Question 10

Base your answer to the following question on the information and diagram below and on your

knowledge of biology. The diagram represents a cell.

Which structure is responsible for the passage of materials into and out of the cell?

Accepted Answer

A

Answer

B

Answer

C

Answer

D

Question 11

The diagram represents a germinating bean seed that has been split open.

Plants are able to continue to grow and develop once the starch supply in the seed is gone, because they

Accepted Answer

have chloroplasts and use light energy to

make more food

Answer

develop roots to absorb starch from the

environment

Answer

grow leaves, which use light energy for cell

respiration

Answer

produce more seeds, which contain additional

food reserves

Question 12

When water is available and growth begins, the plant

embryo inside the seed secretes enzymes to digest

the starch stored in the seed. The enzymes in cells of

the plant embryo are produced directly by the

Accepted Answer

ribosomes

Answer

nuclei

Answer

mitochondria

Answer

vacuoles

Question 13

The diagram below represents a cell of a green plant.

Solar energy is used to produce energy-rich

compounds in structure

Accepted Answer

D

Answer

A

Answer

B

Answer

C

Question 14

What is the main function of a vacuole in a cell?

Accepted Answer

storage

Answer

coordination

Answer

synthesis of molecules

Answer

release of energy

Question 15

If the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed, what effect

would this most likely have on the cell?

Accepted Answer

The cell would be unable to synthesize

proteins.

Answer

It would stimulate mitotic cell division.

Answer

Development of abnormal hereditary features

would occur in the cell.

Answer

Increased protein absorption would occur

through the cell membrane.

Question 16

The largest amount of DNA in a plant cell is

contained in

Accepted Answer

a nucleus

Answer

a chromosome

Answer

a protein molecule

Answer

an enzyme molecule

Question 17

In a cell, all organelles work together to carry out

Accepted Answer

metabolic processes

Answer

diffusion

Answer

active transport

Answer

information storage

Question 18

A white blood cell ingests, then digests, a number of bacteria. Which cell organelles were directly responsible for the digestion of the bacteria?

Accepted Answer

lysosomes

Answer

centrioles

Answer

ribosomes

Answer

mitochondria

Question 19

A cylindrical structure that appears to function in cell division in animal cells is the

Accepted Answer

centriole

Answer

lysosome

Answer

cell membrane

Answer

endoplasmic reticulum

Question 20

Which organelles' activity contributes most directly to muscle contraction in an earthworm?

Accepted Answer

mitochondria

Answer

Golgi bodies

Answer

chloroplasts

Answer

lysosomes

Question 21

Accepted Answer

cell membrane

Answer

cell wall

Answer

molecules

Answer

protein

Question 22

Which statement best describes the cell membrane of a living plant cell?

Accepted Answer

It selectively regulates the passage of substances into and out of the cell.

Answer

It is composed of proteins and carbohydrates only.

Answer

It has the same permeability to all substances found inside or outside the cell.
