WorksheetsPSSA Review #9 (Cells)
Total questions: 17
Worksheet time: 9mins
1. Cells can be represented by a type of model called a cell diagram. Scientists use cell diagrams to show the parts that make up a cell. Cell diagrams usually show one cell, even if the cell is from a multicellular organism.The images below show a micrograph and a cell diagram of yeast, a unicellular fungus. Compare the micrograph to the cell diagram, then decide which of the following is true.
The yeast cell diagram is a representation of the type of yeast cell shown in the micrograph.
The cell wall in the yeast cell micrograph is the same color as the cell wall in the yeast cell diagram.
Only the micrograph (and the diagram) shows that a yeast cell contains a nucleus.
Cell diagrams are used to represent only the cells of unicellular organisms.
