c)

Lysosomes break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.

d)

Lysosomes store lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.

7.

All cells contain cell membranes. Which of the following describes the composition of cell membranes?

a)

Cell membranes are composed of carbohydrate chains, which allow all materials to enter and leave the cell.

b)

Cell membranes are composed of cellulose, which provide rigidity for the cell.

c)

Cell membranes are composed of cytoplasm, which allows proteins to be excreted by the cell.

d)

Cell membranes are composed of lipid molecules, which provide a flexible structure.

8.

Which organelles allows NON-WOODY plants to support heavy structures such as leaves and flowers?

a)

the cell membranes because they regulate what enters and leaves the cells

b)

the chloroplasts because they convert sunlight into chemical energy

c)

the Golgi apparatus because it packages proteins for storage in the cells

d)

the vacuoles because they are filled with fluid, which provide rigidity

9.

In eukaryotic cells, a number of organelles allow the cell to produce and distribute proteins. Where are proteins modified, sorted, and packaged?

a)

Golgi apparatus

b)

rough endoplasmic reticulum

c)

ribosomes

d)

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

10.

The model shows a substance (oxygen) crossing a cell membrane. Which description below describes the process best? (arrow is pointin into the cell)

a)

The model shows the process of active transport because the solute particles are moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

b)

The model shows the process of facilitated diffusion because the soulte is moving through a protein channel.

c)

The model shows the process of diffusion because solute particles are moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

d)

The model shows the process of osmosis because the solute particles are moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

11.

A cell is placed in an isotonic solution. How does the cell maintain homeostasis in this environment?

a)

There is no movement of water molecules into or out of the cell because the concentrations of solute particles inside and outside the cell are the same.

b)

Water will move across the cell membrane to the inside of the cell because the cell has a higher concentration of solute particles than the solution.

c)

Water will move across the cell membrane to the outside of the cell because the solution has a higher concentration of solute particles than the cell.

d)

Water will move across the cell membrane in both directions because the concentrations of solute particles inside and outside the cell are the same.

12.

The illustration shows a model of the transport of solute particles from outside the cell to inside the cell. What type of cell transport is modeled?

a)

Simple diffusion

b)

Facilitated Diffusion

c)

Osmosis

d)

Active Transport

13.

Which describes active transport, but not passive transport?

a)

requires cellular energy

b)

moves particles across the cell membrane

c)

moves particles from high concentration to low concentration

d)

particles diffuse directly through the lipid bilayer

14.

Multicellular organisms contain organ systems. Which of the following BEST describes the organs in an organ system?

a)

The organs in an organ system are made up of similar cells.

b)

The organs in an organ system are made up of similar tissues.

c)

The organs in an organ system work together to perform a specific function.

d)

The organs in an organ system work together to perform all the functions a multicellular organism needs to maintain homeostasis.

15.
