1.

What does the unified cell theory include?

a)

Every living thing is made of one or more cells.

b)

Cells are made of even smaller particles of matter.

c)

Cells are the basic unit of life.

d)

New cells are made of existing cells.

e)

Cells make up only plants.

2.

What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

a)

Eukaryotic cells are more complex.

b)

Prokaryotic cells have more organelles.

c)

Prokaryotic are unicellular while eukaryotic are multicellular.

d)

DNA in a eukaryotic cell is stored in the nucleus and prokaryotes store it in the cytoplasm.

e)

Eukaryotic cells lack vesicles, vacuoles, and other storage organelles.

3.

Is it better for a cell to be smaller or bigger in size?

a)

The cell is better when bigger in size because it can have more functions than smaller cells.

b)

The cell is better when smaller in size because it will lack organelles and be simpler.

c)

The cell is better when bigger in size because it can take more space and doesn't need to share with other cells.

d)

The cell is better when smaller because many things, like proteins, won't be able to travel as fast and will be slower if it is big.

c)

acts as the cell membrane vacuole and stores minerals

d)

detects danger and gives a signal of caution to the nucleus

13.

The surface proteins...

a)

communication between other cells and external environments

b)

only provide the cell with more support

c)

produces phospholipids

b)

body; legs

c)

tail; head

d)

tail; tail

23.

A cell shrinks when put into a solution that is (a)   .

24.

A cell swells and can potentially burst when put into a solution that is (a)   .

25.

When a cell has water that leaves in and out normally, the solution the cell is in is (a)   .

26.

A(n) (a)   cell will shrivel and die when placed in a hypertonic solution. But, when placed in a hypotonic solution, it can swell and burst from the water intake.

27.
