The Cell Theory states:


Principle I - All living things are composed of cells.

Principle II - The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.

Principle III - All cells come from the division of pre-existing cells.


The contributions made by Rudolf Virchow led to the formulation of which component(s) of the Cell Theory?

a)

Principle I

b)

Principle II

c)

Principle III

d)

Principles I & II

2.

Plants and animals are both "eukaryotes" and as such they have many cellular structures that are the same. What organelle is present in plant cells, but not in animal cells?

a)

nucleus

b)

mitochondria

c)

chloroplast

d)

vacuole

3.

As scientists studied cells, they discovered there are two kinds which they called prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The internal construction of the cell determines its classification. What does a eukaryote have that at prokaryote does not?

a)

DNA

b)

Membrane-bound nuclei

c)

Flowing cytoplasm

d)

Cell membrane

4.

Which structure is not present in a prokaryotic cell?

a)

DNA

b)

Nuclear membrane

c)

Phospholipid membrane

d)

Cytoplasm

5.

Most animal eukaryotic cells have a -

a)

cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm.

b)

nucleus, chloroplasts, and nucleolus

c)

cell wall, nucleus, and mitochondrion.

d)

plasma membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm.

6.

Which molecule provides most of the energy used to drive chemical reactions in cells?

a)

DNA

b)

RNA

c)

ATP

d)

ADP

7.

The diagram below shows how a paramecium maintains homeostasis. A paramecium normally lives in a hypotonic environment in which water continually diffuses into the cell. To maintain homeostasis, the paramecium must pump out large amounts of water using its contractile vacuole.

a)

Water will diffuse into the paramecium.

b)

Water will diffuse out of the paramecium.

c)

Salt will be pumped out of the paramecium by the vacuole.

d)

Salt will be pumped into the paramecium by the vacuole.

8.

Which organelle contains energy-rich organic compounds necessary for ATP production?

a)

ribosome

b)

mitochondria

c)

nucleus

d)

lysosome

9.

By what process do cells move water across a membrane along a concentration gradient?

a)

Active transport

b)

Osmosis

c)

Facilitated diffusion

d)

Passive Transport

10.

A type of cellular transport is shown.


Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport?

a)

Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

b)

Facilitated diffusion, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient

c)

Osmosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient

d)

Endocytosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

11.

The diagram illustrates the activity of vesicles during a cellular process.

Which statement best explains the function of the vesicles?

a)

Delivering packaged materials to the Golgi apparatus for protein synthesis

b)

Exchanging genetic information between the Golgi apparatuses of separate cells

c)

Extracting portions of the Golgi apparatus to be regenerated for growth within the cell

d)

Transporting packaged molecules from the Golgi apparatus to be released out of the cell

12.

A student groups different types of cells as shown.

Which table headings should the student use for the two groups?

a)

1. Animal Cell 2. Plant Cell

b)

1. Prokaryotic Cell 2. Eukaryotic Cell

c)

1. Mobile Cells. 2. Motile Cells

d)

1. Fungal Cells. 2. Bacterial Cells

13.

Scientists think eukaryotes may have evolved from an endosymbiotic relationship between prokaryotes of mitochondria and host parasitic cells. One piece of evidence that supports this endosymbiosis theory is that mitochondria have their own system of transcription and translation that more closely resembles protein synthesis in prokaryotes than eukaryotes.

Upon evaluation of this information, which of the following statements is most likely true?

a)

At one time, mitochondria may have been primitive prokaryotic cells.

b)

Protein synthesis in the mitochondria is the result of bacterial cell infection.

c)

Mitochondria do not have DNA and, therefore, do not produce mitochondrial RNA.

d)

There was never a symbiotic relationship between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

14.

Which will most likely occur when a cell is immersed in a hypotonic solution?

a)

The cell will take in water.

b)

The cell will expel water.

c)

The cell will shrink in size.

d)

The cell size will not change.

15.

A dichotomous key can be used to identify an unknown organism.

What is the most likely common name of the fish in the picture?

a)

Peacock flounder

b)

Glass eye snapper

c)

Squirrel fish

d)

Band-tail puffer

16.

Viruses are tiny non-living, disease-causing organisms. Which of these does a virus need in order to multiply?

a)

Chloroplasts from a host cell

b)

New ADP from a host cell

c)

A host cell to provide oxygen to the virus

d)

A host cell to replicate the virus’ DNA

17.

Which of these events is most likely to cause a widespread influenza outbreak?

a)

People in northern regions are affected by weather patterns.

b)

The influenza virus is recognized by host immune systems.

c)

Global warming causes increased winter precipitation.

d)

People lack immunity to a new strain of flu virus.

18.

A photograph of a virus is shown below.

The projections on the surface of this virus allow the virus to —

a)

move inside a host cell

b)

attach to a host cell

c)

control a host cell’s DNA

d)

signal other viruses to infect a host cell

19.

A student produces a labeled drawing of a virus for a presentation. The student states that the capsid has a function similar to the nuclear membrane found in animal cells.


Which of these describes the similar functions of capsids and nuclear membranes?

a)

Both transport proteins throughout the structures.

b)

Both provide energy for activities in the structures.

c)

Both protect genetic information for the structures.

d)

Both code for the proteins needed for reproduction of the structures.

20.

Influenza is a virus that infects the cells of the respiratory tract and can cause fever, runny nose, headache, coughing, and muscle pain. Scientists develop new vaccines against the influenza virus every year.


Why must scientists create new vaccines for this virus so often?
