Quiz on Cell Organelles

Using the information in the chart, which of the following statements is TRUE?

• Plant cells only have a cell wall to control what enters and exits the cell.

• Animal cells can bend more than a plant cell because they do not have a cell wall.

• Animal cells are more complex than plant cells because they contain a nucleus.

• Plant and animal cells can make their own food to obtain energy for their cells because they have chloroplasts.

The arrow is pointing to which part of the cell in the diagram?

• The cell part that the arrow is pointing to is a chloroplast which is found only in plant cells.

• The cell part that the arrow is pointing to is the cell wall which is found only in animal cells.

• The cell part that the arrow is pointing to is the cell membrane which is found only in plant cells.

• The cell part that the arrow is pointing to is the nucleus which is found in both plant and animal cells.

Jennifer created the drawings of plant and animal cells for homework. Which drawing shows a correctly drawn and labeled cell and why?

• Drawing #1 because plant cells contain a rigid cell membrane and cytoplasm.

• Drawing #2 because animal cells contain a cell wall and chloroplasts.

• Drawing #3 because plant cells contain a rigid cell wall and chloroplasts.

Stacy is creating a model of a plant cell from a picture she found in her science textbook. Which organelles did Stacy identify that are found ONLY in plant cells?

• cytoplasm and a nucleus

• a nucleus and chloroplasts

• a cell wall and chloroplasts

• a nucleus and a cell membrane

A student is preparing to view the leaf of a water plant under a microscope and makes a claim that the view of the leaf under the microscope will be the same as the view of the leaf with the naked eye. What can the student conclude about her claim after looking in the microscope?

• The claim is rejected because the whole leaf is not visible under the microscope.

• The claim is rejected because smaller cells appear under the microscope that are not visible with the naked eye.

• The claim is accepted because the student can see smaller structures on the leaf with the naked eye.

• The claim is accepted because when the student is looking at the leaf, they are also looking at the cells.

Which statement identifies the organelle that is absent in animal cells but is present in plant cells?

• A nucleus would be absent in an animal cell but present in a plant cell.

• Cytoplasm would be absent in an animal cell but present in a plant cell.

• Chloroplasts would be absent in an animal cell but present in a plant cell.

• A cell membrane would be absent in an animal cell but present in a plant cell.

Dan looked at a flower in his science class. His teacher asked him to draw a model that shows that the flower is made of many layers of flower petals, and that each petal is composed of very small cells. Dan examined the flower's petals with a magnifying glass and a microscope. What did Dan see using these tools that proved that the flower petals were made of many thousands of cells?

• Using the magnifying glass Dan saw layers of petals, and using the microscope he saw that the petals were made of small box-like structures.

• Using the magnifying glass Dan saw layers of petals, and using the microscope he saw that the flower petals were consistent in color and had no pattern.

• Using the magnifying glass Dan saw that the petals were made of small box-like structures, and using the microscope he saw layers of petals that were the same color.

• Using the magnifying glass Dan saw layers of petals that were the same color, and using the microscope he saw that the flower petals were consistent in color and had no pattern.

Ben observes a plant leaf. He then uses a microscope to more closely examine the leaf. Ben takes two photographs of what he sees. He notices that the pictures are very different. Which statement BEST explains the picture that shows plant cells?

• Picture shows plant cells because it shows the pattern of veins on the leaf.

• Picture shows plant cells because it shows that a cell has the same overall shape as the leaves/

• Picture shows plant cells because it shows magnified details on the surface of the leaf.

Ms. Wilson asked her class to create a non-standard model of an animal cell and its parts. Marcus brought in peaches and sliced one in half. Which describes how Marcus’s peach half is like an animal cell?

• The seed makes food for the peach the way a chloroplast makes food for the cell.

• The soft inner flesh holds the seed in place the way the cell membrane holds the organelles in place.

• The thin outer skin protects the soft insides of the peach the way a cell wall protects the organelles inside the cell.

• The peach pit or seed is the structure that reproduces the peach tree, and the nucleus is the organelle that reproduces the animal cell.

Ms. Johnson's science class is observing the differences of plant and animal cells using a special scientific tool. The tools allows them to see the organelles in the cells so that they can differentiate between plant and animal cells. What tool allows the user to see the organelles of a cell, and what organelles can be seen to differentiate between plant and animal cells?

• A microscope; chloroplasts and a cell wall can be seen in a plant cell and not in animal cell.

• A microscope; a cell wall and chloroplasts can be seen in an animal cell and not in a plant cell.

• A magnifying glass; mitochondria can be seen in animal cells and not in plant cells.

• A magnifying glass; a nucleus can be seen in animal cells but not in plant cells.
