1.

Which of the following components is present in a plant cell but not in animal cell?

a)

cytoplasm

b)

cell membrane

c)

cellulose

d)

ribosomes

2.

Why does a plant cell have a fixed shape and an animal cell does not?

a)

Plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells.

b)

The process of photosynthesis causes plant cells to have a rigid shape.

c)

The cell membrane of a plant cell is surrounded by a cell wall.

d)

The dependence of plant cells to water makes the cells stiff and maintain the cell shape.

3.

The several types of white blood cells are sometimes collectively referred to as:

a)

erythrocytes

b)

leukocytes

c)

erythroblasts

d)

thrombocytes

4.

The condition in which there is a DECREASE in the number of white blood cells in humans is known as:

a)

Leukocytosis

b)

Leukopenia

c)

Leukemia

d)

Leukohyperia

5.

Which of the following options best describes parenchyma tissues in plants?

a)

They facilitate in the movement and support of plant cells.

b)

They protect the plants and maintains the shape of the cell wall when it becomes mature.

c)

They are involved in photosynthesis, assimilation, and storage of food.

d)

They help the plant cells in the transport of the materials going in and through diffusion and osmosis.

6.

In the plasma membrane of a few animal cells, what could be the significance of having cholesterol?

a)

Makes the membrane less flexible permitting it to sustain greater pressure from within the cell.

b)

Enables the membrane to stay fluid more easily when the temperature of cell drops.

c)

Enables the animal to get rid of hydrogen atoms from saturated phospholipids.

d)

Enables the animal to feature hydrogen atoms to unsaturated phospholipids.

7.

“Sclerenchyma cells die and can be found in mature parts of plants like wood. They also facilitate in transportation of water and other nutrients”. Based on the given information, what can you conclude?

a)

Statement one is TRUE, statement two is FALSE.

b)

Statement one is FALSE, statement two is TRUE.

c)

Both statements are TRUE.

d)

Both statements are FALSE.

8.

Sex cells are found in animal cells and perform many functions, mainly reproduction. Among the following options, which is not used to determine the sex of an individual?

a)

sex chromosomes

b)

gonads

c)

external genitalia

d)

blood type

9.

Meristems are essential in the growth of plants. Based on the information, which of the following statements given below best describes meristematic tissue?

a)

is made of cells that are incapable of cell division

b)

is made of cells that are capable of cell division

c)

is composed of single type of cells that is responsible for photosynthesis

d)

is composed of more than one type of cell and performs several functions

10.

What is the role of stem cells with regards to the function of adult tissues and organs?

a)

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide asymmetrically, giving rise to one daughter that remains a stem cell and one daughter that will differentiate to replace damaged and worn-out cells in the adult tissue or organ.

b)

Stem cells are embryonic cells that persist in the adult and can give rise to all the cell types in the body.

c)

Stem cells are determined cells that reside in fully differentiated tissues and can, when needed, differentiate to supply new cells for growth of the tissue.

d)

Stem cells are differentiated cells that have yet to express the genes and proteins characteristic of their differentiated state and do so when needed for repair of tissues and organs.
