“Cells Structure and Transport Practice Quiz””
Cells Types
1. List the similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and give examples of each.
(A “T-chart” or “Venn Diagram” may be useful for this information.)
2. Explain the structure and function of the four biomolecules found in all cells. (Carbohydrates, Lipids,
Nucleic Acids, Proteins).
3. Compare and contrast plant and animal cells. (A “T-chart” or “Venn Diagram” may be useful for this
information.)
a. State whether plant and animal cells are prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Explain your answer.
4. Predict the advantages and disadvantages in survival and reproduction that prokaryotes have compared to
eukaryotes.
Cell Organelles
5. For the organelles listed explain/illustrate the following:
a. if they are found in plant or animal cells (or both)
b. what they look like (in your own words)
c. their function (what it does/is used for)
d. How the organelles work in systems to achieve common goals
 Nucleus
 Mitochondria
 Ribosome
 Chloroplast
 Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
 Lysosome
 Rough ER
 Cell Membrane
 Golgi apparatus
 Vacuole
6. Adrenaline is a lipid hormone produced in glands located just above the kidneys. List the path from
production of the hormone to secretion into the blood stream that takes place in the adrenal gland cells.
7. The cells in the pancreas produce an enzyme called trypsin that hydrolyzes proteins into amino acids.
Pepsin is produced in pancreatic cells and secreted into the small intestine. List the sequence of organelles
responsible for producing and secreting trypsin.
8. Explain how the nucleus and ribosomes work together to produce proteins.
Cell Transport
9. Draw a picture of the cell membrane and label Phospholipids and a Carrier/Transport Protein
10. Compare and contrast passive transport and active transport.
11. Define diffusion and osmosis.
a. Explain the similarities and differences between diffusion and osmosis.
12. Explain the importance of the cell membrane in regulating the internal conditions inside the cell.
13. Predict the impact on a cell exposed to hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic solutions.
a. Explain which solutions will cause osmosis and which will not.
14. List three methods a cell uses to transport materials across a membrane.
15. Compare and contrast the structure and function of a cell wall and cell membrane.
16. List two factors that may affect the rate of diffusion.
17. Explain the dangers of drinking salt water instead of fresh water if you were stranded at sea.
