Book C Unit 1 Quiz Cells, structure and function

What common traits would models of different unicellular organisms share?

• They would all be made of many cells with cell walls.

• They would all have chloroplasts to trap sunlight and create their own food.

• They would all have one cell with smaller parts that do different jobs within the cell.

• They have complex organ systems and a large brain.

Some students are comparing the parts of the body to parts of the cell. Which body part best represents the cell membrane and why?

• The Brain because it controls your body

• The Stomach because it breaks down food

• The Skin because it surrounds and protects your organs

• The Lungs because they bring in oxygen for the body.

Which of these statements explains a key difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms?

• Only multicellular organisms can photosynthesize.

• The cells of unicellular organisms are much smaller than the cells of multicellular organisms.

• Multicellular organisms have cells, not just organelles, that carry out specific functions.

• Unicellular organisms can grow larger than multicellular organisms due to their simpler structure.

A student is studying cells and uses a school as a model to represent the cell. Which part of the school matches the nucleus?

• Outside fence - where students enter and leave the school

• Cafeteria - where food is eaten and provides students with energy

• Principal’s Office - where the principal controls the activities and functions of the school

• The Ribosome – because it produces the work, like students completing assignments.

• Nuclear Membrane

• makes proteins
• Cell Membrane

• separates the inside of the cell from the outside

• Cell Wall

• Protects the Nucleus

When observed under a compound microscope, many cells can be seen in human skin. Why are individual cells not visible under the electron microscope?

• Because electron microscopes have lower magnification

• Because electron microscopes cannot be used to view living cells

• Because human skin cells are too small to be seen with an electron microscope

• Because electron microscopes do not provide enough contrast for skin cells

,

(b) Multicellular

,

(c) Both

• Contains Specialized Cells

• Can respond to stimuli

• Made of a single Cell

• Living
