Practice Questions

AB
All living things are composed ofCELLS
In plant and animal cells, the control center of the cell is theNUCLEUS
A storage compartment of the cell is theVACUOLE
Starch is an example of aCARBOHYDRATE
Olive oil is an example of aLIPID
The process by which water moves across the cell membrane is calledOSMOSIS
Bacterial cells do not haveNUCLEUS
Ribosomes producePROTEINS
The cell membrane isSELECTIVELY PERMEABLE
Cells were discovered usingMICROSCOPES
What role did the microscope play in the development of the cell theory?The microscope enabled people to learn about cells by magnifying the cells for study
The cell wallPROTECTS and SUPPORTS the cell
Convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can useRIBOSOMES
Carries material through the cellENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Receive materials, package and distribute themGOLGI BODIES
Capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce for food for the cellCHLOROPLASTS
Storage areas of cellsVACUOLES
Contain chemicals that break down materials in cellLYSOSOMES
Explain the difference between elements and compounds.Elements CANNOT be broken down into simpler substances. Compounds CAN be broken down into simpler substances.
How are enzymes important to living things?Without enzymes, chemical reactions are necessary to life would take too long or not happen at all.
What are the functions of DNA and RNA?DNA - genetic material passed from parent to offspring; RNA - produce proteins
What is diffusion? What function does diffusion have in the cell?Diffusion is the main method by which small molecules move across the cell membrane. The molecules move from an area of higher concentration of an area of lower concentration.
Explain the relationship between cell size and the movement of materials into and out of cells.It would take much longer for a molecule to reach the center on a very large cell than it would a small cell. Likewise, it would take a long time for wastes to be removed. If a cell was too large, it would not be able to function correctly for it to survive.
How are plant and animal cells similar?Both have a nucleus and cell membrane.
How are plant and animal cells different?1. Plant cells are rectangle shaped, Animal cells are circle shaped. 2. Plant cells are arranged in a grid, kind of like bricks . Animal cells are all smooched together. 3. Plant cells have a Cell wall and Chloroplasts.
Explain how active transport is different from osmosis?Active transport moves materials through the membrane but requires energy. Osmosis is diffusion of water molecules through membrane and does not require cellular energy.
How does a plant cell change after the plant is watered?The cells became more rigid because the vacuoles refilled.
A solution consists of 24 g of table sale dissolved in 2 L of water. Express the concentration of salt in the form of a ratio.24g: 2L reduces to 12g:1L or 12g/l
