Structures and Functions – Cells
Study Guide Answers
1. Cells are basic units of all livings things, including humans.
2. Cell shape and structure are not exactly the same but are similar in plants and animals.
3. Cells are shaped differently because of where they are located and their specific job.
4. New cells are made from pre-existing cells (other cells).
5. Unicellular organisms consist of a single cell and perform all life processes within the cell.
6. Examples of single celled organisms (unicellular organisms) are yeasts, bacteria, amoebas.
7. Multicellular organisms consist of more than one cell, have different cells within itself to do
specific jobs or functions.
8. Transport systems are located within the cell since cells are far away from the outside
environment of the organism. Example: skin cells are on the surface but not blood cells.
9. Plant cells have (2 more ) parts than animal cells. They are: cell wall, chloroplasts.
10. In complex organisms, groups of cells form tissues, tissues with similar functions form organs,
organs work together within a system.
11. Amoebas are unicellular organisms. Write yes or No next to each question.
Do Amoebas contain more than one cell? No
Are Amoebas a small part of a larger organism? No
Is an amoeba a complete organism? Yes
Do Amoebas have different kinds of cells? No
12. How are unicellular organisms and multicellular organisms alike?
Both can get rid of waste materials.
13. If each type of living tissue is made of one kind of cell, complex multi-cellular organisms are made
of several types of tissue.
14. What do cells in your body need to survive?
Nutrients
Oxygen
15. What is a more complex system: a unicellular organism or a multicellular organism? Why? A
multicellular organism is more complex because it has many cells with specialized functions.
16. Plant Cell
17. Animal Cell
Why do I have a cell wall?
To provide support for the cell because it doesn’t have
bones.
What do my chloroplasts do?
Contains chlorophyll. Makes me green. I make my own food
from energy from the Sun.
Why don’t I have a cell wall?
I have bones to provide me with support.
Why don’t I have chloroplasts?
I do not get my energy from the Sun. I do not make my own
food.
Cell Part
18. Nucleus
19. Cell and Nuclear Membrane
20. Chromosomes
21. Vacuoles
What it does/Function
Brain of the cell. Tells the cell what to do.
Keeps things from going in and out of the cell
or nucleus. The gate of the cell.
Where the genes are located.
Where waste is stored. Garbage of cell.
