2.

Some students are comparing the parts of the body to parts of the cell. Which body part best represents the cell membrane and why?

a)

The brain because it controls your body

b)

The stomach because it breaks down food

c)

The skin because it surrounds and protects your organs

d)

The blood vessels because they transport nutrients

a)

no nucleus

b)

reproduce asexually

c)

bacteria

d)

mitochondria

Which picture displays a typical eukaryotic cell?

a)

Left Cell

b)

Right Cell

5.

What is needed for photosynthesis?

a)

sunlight, water, glucose

b)

carbon dioxide, glucose

c)

glucose, oxygen

d)

sunlight, water, carbon dioxide

6.

Which matches up the organelle with the correct process

a)

chloroplast and photosynthesis

b)

mitochondria and making proteins

c)

nucleus and removes waste

7.

Which statement describes the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

a)

They each do the same thing for the cell

b)

They work together by using each others products for their own process

c)

Cellular respiration uses more materials which stops photosynthesis

8.

In cattle, the allele for solid coat color is dominant (R) and the allele for white-spotted coat is recessive (r). A rancher crossed two cows, both solid color. What combination of genes in the solid-coat parents could result in offspring with the white-spotted phenotype?

a)

RR and rr

b)

Rr Rr

c)

rr & rr

9.

more offspring

b)

faster reproduction

c)

create genetic variation

d)

find a mate
