April 4th Pre-Assessment - Biology EOC Review

Cells can be classified into two different categories, prokaryotic and eukaryotic.  Which of the following information is needed in order to determine if an organism is prokaryotic?

• The organism’s color and mass

• The organism’s internal structures 

• If the organism is unicellular or multicellular

• The methods the organism uses to feed & move

Which of the following contain complex, membrane-bound organelles?

1. Viruses    2. Bacteria     3. Eukaryotic cells      4. Prokaryotic cells

• 1 and 2

• 2 and 4

• 3 only

• 4 only

Which statement is NOT a part of the cell theory?

• Cells are the basic unit of structure of living things

• Cells are the basic unit of function of living things

• Cell parts, such as chloroplasts, are self-replicating

• Cells come from pre-existing cells

Which cell structure is correctly paired with its primary function?

• Ribosome – protein synthesis

• vacuole – cell division

• Mitochondria – movement

Skeletal muscle cells are differentiated to help our muscles repair quickly by building needed proteins and use a lot of energy. Which of the following organelles would you expect skeletal muscles to have more of than other cells in the human body? (Choose the two correct answers)

• Smooth ER

• Nuclei

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria
