Bacterial Cell Structure and Function Quiz

How is the DNA described in the bacterial cells, and what does this mean?

• DNA is found in the nucleus, meaning it is protected.

• DNA is free-floating, meaning it is not contained within a nucleus.

• DNA is attached to the cell wall, meaning it is immobile.

• DNA is found in ribosomes, meaning it helps with protein synthesis.

The three bacterial shapes in Model 1 are referred to as coccus, spirillum, and bacillus. Which of the following correctly matches the shape to its description?

• Coccus - rod, Spirillum - sphere, Bacillus - spiral

• Coccus - sphere, Spirillum - spiral, Bacillus - rod

• Coccus - spiral, Spirillum - rod, Bacillus - sphere

• Coccus - rod, Spirillum - spiral, Bacillus - sphere

How does the analogy of an efficiency apartment and a mansion relate to cell structure?

• It shows that all cells are the same size.

• It explains that some cells are more complex and have more structures (like a mansion) while others are simpler (like an efficiency apartment).

• It means that all cells have the same number of organelles.

• It suggests that only plant cells are complex.
