Bju Biology Chapter 3

Cork "cells" were first identified by

• Schleiden

• Hooke

• Calvin

• Schwann

The diffusion of water into a plant cell by osmosis results in a buildup of

• osmotic pressure

• permeability

• turgor pressure

• membrane pressure

The transport of dissolved substances into the cell for its use is called

• synthesis

• secretion

• digestion

• absorption

Organisms made up of cells that can operate independently but that normally tend to group together are called

• communal

• composite

• colonial

• complete

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a prokaryotic cell?

• a cell membrane

• membrane-bound organelles

• non-membrane-bound organelles

• cytoplasm

The cell theory states that cells are the basic units that make up all living things, that cells come from preexisting cell, and that

• cells are specialized for particular tasks

• cells form tissues

• cells carry on the functions of all living things

• cells are made only by living organisms

Chloroplasts contain

• cristae

• grana

• saccules

• liposomes

Which of the following people did not contribute research toward a component of cell theory?

• Pasteur

• Schleiden

• Schwann

• Virchow

The process by which fluid enters a cell in bulk by being surrounded and engulfed by the cell membrane is

• pinocytosis

• osmosis

• plasmolysis

• cytolysis

Since diffusion is a purely physical process (it requires no cellular energy), it could be a form of

• passive transport

• active transport

• turgor

• plasmolysis
