Accepted Answer

Plant cell

Answer

Animal cell

Answer

Bacterial cell

Answer

Fungal cell

Question 15

If the mitochondria of a cell do not function properly, which process would be most affected?

Accepted Answer

Energy production

Answer

Protein synthesis

Answer

Photosynthesis

Answer

Cell division

Question 16

Which organelle is directly involved in the synthesis and transport of lipids in the cell?

Accepted Answer

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Answer

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Answer

Nucleus

Answer

Golgi apparatus

Question 17

A student is given a list of organelles: nucleus, mitochondrion, chloroplast, and ribosome. Which two are found only in plant cells and why?

Accepted Answer

Chloroplast and cell wall; they are exclusive to plant cells

Answer

Nucleus and mitochondrion; they store energy

Answer

Chloroplast and ribosome; they produce proteins

Answer

Chloroplast and cell wall; they are involved in photosynthesis and structure

Question 18

A cell cannot break down waste materials and old organelles. Which organelle is most likely malfunctioning and what would be the consequence for the cell?

Accepted Answer

Lysosome; wastes would accumulate in the cell

Answer

Nucleus; the cell would lose its genetic material

Answer

Ribosome; the cell would stop producing proteins

Answer

Mitochondrion; the cell would have no energy

Question 19

A scientist wants to design an experiment to test how the removal of chloroplasts affects the survival ability of a plant cell. What would be the most logical hypothesis for this experiment?

Accepted Answer

The plant cell will not be able to perform photosynthesis and will not survive

Answer

The plant cell will produce more energy

Answer

The plant cell will divide faster

Answer

The plant cell will store more water

Question 20

You are given two unknown cells. Cell A has a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole. Cell B lacks these structures. Using evidence, explain which is the plant cell and justify your answer.

Accepted Answer

Cell A is the plant cell because it has a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole

Answer

Cell B is the plant cell because it lacks a cell wall and chloroplasts

Answer

Both are plant cells because they are eukaryotic

Answer

Neither is a plant cell because they lack mitochondria
