Life Science CFE Review

All living things are made of...

• atoms 
• cells 
• bacteria 
• plants 

Controls what enters/leaves a cell

• cell membrane

• vacuole

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

Cell membranes are found in

• Only animal cells
• Only plant cells
• Some plant and animal cells
• All plant and animal cells

• produces ribosomes
• contains genetic information
• stores food, water, wastes and other materials

Which of the following are NOT found in animal cells

• chloroplasts and cytoplasm
• chloroplasts and cell wall
• cell wall and cell membrane
• mitochondria and nucleus

Which of the following converts food into energy for the cell?

• vacuole

• mitochondria

• cytoplasm

• cell membrane

What do vacuoles do? 

• They actually do not have an important role
• They protect the cell
• They are the brain of the cell
• storage area for cells; water storage in plants 

What is the function of a cell wall?

• to protect and support the cell
• to perform different functions in each cell
• to prevent water from passing through it
• to prevent oxygen from entering the cell

Consists of a jellylike substance that contains many organelles.

• ribosomes
• cytoplasm
• chloroplasts
• cell wall

Chloroplasts in plant cells allow the plant to perform a function that animal cells cannot do.  What is the main function of the chloroplasts found in plant cells?

• to absorb light energy and manufacture food
• to remove waste materials by active transport
• to manufacture chemical energy from food
• to control the shape of the cell
