New SSA Review Cell Organelles

The student creates a list with two groups.

Group A lists the cell wall and cell membrane.

Group B lists the mitochondria and chloroplasts.

What are the two groups that this student is most likely organizing these organelles into?

• “plant organelles” and “animal organelles”

• “organelles with membranes” and “organelles without membranes"

• “organelles that protect” and “organelles that use energy”

• “organelles with proteins” and “organelles with sugar”

What organelles are most important for maintaining homeostasis in both of these types of cells?

• vacuole, cell membrane

• cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum

• cell wall, nucleus

• cytoplasm, cell membrane

What is a fact about plant and animal cells that does NOT directly support the understanding of cell theory?

• Plants and animal cells both have many of the same structures

• Plants and animals can be made of only one cell or of many cells

• All of the functions of plants and animal organs can be explained by cell function

• Plants and animals grow and reproduce by dividing new cells from older cells

How does the organization of structure A compare with that of structure B?

• Structure A provides rigid support, while structure B can change shape

• Structure A has many more openings for the passage of nutrients than structure B

• Structure A allows for the formation of chlorophyll, while structure B stores water

• Structure A bathes the organelles as they pass through the openings of structure B

How does structure C function in both plant and animal cells?

• It controls the cell’s activities in both types of cells

• It regulates the passage of materials into both types of cells

• It produces energy in plant cells, while in animal cells it uses energy

• It stores water in plant cells, while in animal cells it releases chemicals

A scientist has made a claim that he found an animal cell that can produce its own food using the Sun. What would this scientist need to do to get others to believe him?

• Provide evidence that shows an animal cell containing structure E

• Make a prediction that structure F is found only in animal cells

• Create a model that shows the location of structure D in an animal cell

• Publish his findings in a journal about the animal cell having structure A

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

Based on the diagram, which type of structure(s) do the plant cell and animal cell both contain?

• They both have photosynthetic structures

• They both have one very large structure for storage

• They both have structures that control the activities of the cell

• They both have rigid structures that give the cell shape and protection

Which of these would best be part of an experiment that could be performed to determine if the mitochondria in both cell types produce energy?

• Collecting the amount of sunlight entering both cells

• Watching how waste products are removed from each cell

• Tracing the pathway of nutrients across the cell membranes

• Measuring the amount of carbon dioxide produced by both cells

Plant and animal cells in the diagram contain cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is a gel like substance made of water, proteins, carbohydrates, salts, sugars, and other molecules. The cell needs these substances to live.

Based on this information and the diagrams, which of the following best describes the role of the cytoplasm?

• It is the site of photosynthesis and carries wastes to the cell membrane

• It absorbs energy and blocks unwanted materials from entering the cell

• It controls all the activities in the cell and is the site of energy production

• It provides support for cell parts and transports chemicals within the cell
