What is the function of the cell's nucleus?
provide energy for the cell
store food, water, and waste
regulate all of the activities of the cell
make protein for the cell
How do vacuoles in plant cells help keep the plant upright?
They push the cytoplasm against the cell walls.
They provide the structure needed to support the plant.
They help the plant make food for itself.
They package materials from the ER and distribute them.
What name is used to describe the parts of a cell that carry out the cell's life processes?
organs
tissues
organelles
body systems
What are some organelles common to the cells of most organisms?
cell wall and cytoplasm
chloroplasts and nucleus
golgi body and cell wall
cell membrane and nucleus
Which structures are found only in plants?
cell membrane and chlorophyll
vacuoles and mitochondria
cell wall and chloroplasts
ribosomes and lysosomes
Where are the chromosomes of a cell located?
in the vacuoles
in the nucleus
in the golgi body
in the endoplasmic reticulum
What are mitochondria?
The "brains" of the cell; home of all the chromosomes
The "screen" in the window; allows nutrients and water into the cell
"UPS"; the internal delivery system for materials the cell needs
The "powerhouse" of the cell; they use oxygen to transform food into energy
What do the vacuoles do?
allow nutrients into the cell and keep harmful molecules out
store food, wastes, and water for the cell
provide structure for the cell
help package materials from ER and distribute them
How do food, oxygen, and water enter a cell?
by diffusion
by mitosis
by absorption
by magic
How does active transport differ from passive transport?
Active transport requires no energy from the cell.
Active transport requires additional oxygen from the cell.
Passive transport requires no energy from the cell.
Passive transport requires additional oxygen from the cell.
The picture of the canoe paddling upstream is representative of which of the following?
Active Transport
Passive Transport
Osmosis
Mitosis
How are active transport and passive transport alike?
both processes require energy from the cell
both processes happen without using energy from the cell
both processes move materials into and out of the cell
both processes happen at the same time
A cell wall is present. The sides of the cell appear to be rigid and straight.
animal
plant
This is a human cell. The cell membrane surrounds the cell and appears to be a round, undefined shape.
animal
plant
These are blood cells. They are not closely packed together.
animal
plant
The shape of this cell is not a rectangle. However, the chloroplasts are clearly visible.
animal
plant
These are onion cells that are closely packed together to make a fixed shape. The large nucleus and cell wall are visible.
animal
plant
The nucleus is visible in this cell. The outer edge is not rigid and there is no cell wall surrounding the cell membrane.
animal
plant
These are the cells from a leaf. The cell wall is forming a rigid shell around the cell and the chloroplasts are turning this cell a green color.
animal
plant
These are cheek cells. The nucleus is visible and the cell membrane is giving this cell a flexible shape.
animal
plant
This cell does not have a cell wall or chloroplasts visible. These cells are also moving more freely.
animal
plant
The cell wall in this cell is clearly visible and the cells surrounding this cell have a fixed and defined shape.
animal
plant
An egg is a single-celled organism that can survive on its own. However, it is made from the same type of cells as the chicken that laid it.
animal
plant
When looking at two cells side by side, there is a clear difference between the cells. This cell contains extra organelles that give this cell a green appearance.
animal
plant
This is a single-celled organism called algae. Although it can live alone, it still requires chloroplasts to create its food for energy.
animal
plant
A scientist first discovered cells by looking at a piece of cork under a microscope. He noticed that these cells were tightly packed boxes.
animal
plant
This cell does not produce energy on it own. It has to eat other organisms to gain energy.
animal
plant
This cell has to rely on the cell membrane to decide what can enter and leave the cell. It also relies on the cell membrane to hold its shape.
animal
plant
Fingernails are made from the same living cells as hair.
animal
plant
A biologist is not sure if a cell is a plant or an animal. She decides to look at the cells under a microscope and can identify the cell wall.
animal
plant
A scientist uses a magnifying instrument to look at a cell and is able to see several structures inside the cell in addition to the nucleus. However, there is no chloroplast to be found.
animal
plant
A student viewed a cell image from a powerful microscope. The shape of the cell is a pentagon with straight, fixed sides.
