Biology Study Guide
For Common District Assessment 1
This is intended to guide your studies for the first exam. It contains information similar to that
likely to be found on the test. Note that you are responsible for all material covered in class. This
includes characteristics of living things, characteristics of different types of cells, functions and
structure of cell organelles, characteristics of viruses, reproduction methods used by viruses and
prokaryotes, how to draw and/or recognize macromolecules and their monomers, functions of
macromolecules, characteristics of the three domains and six kingdoms (this includes the ability
to identify organisms in each based on characteristics).
1. List the 8 characteristics of living things.
1. Reproduce
5. Grow and develop
2. Made of Cells
6. Maintain stable environment
3. Have DNA
7. Obtain energy
4. Adapt to their environment
8. _Respond to environment
2. How many of the 8 characteristics of living things must an organism have to be considered
living? _______all__________________________________
3. Circle the living things from the list below.

Sea cucumber YES

Staphylococcus bacteria YES

Human Immunodeficiency Virus NO

Shelf fungus YES
4. Circle the image or images below that show a living organism.
NO VIRUS
YES BACTERIA

5. Viruses require a host because they cannot make their own proteins or reproduce on their
own. True or false? ___True_______________
6. When viewed under a microscope, a cell has a nuclear membrane and cell wall. Is the cell
prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Plant or animal cell? _______Eukaryotic
Plant__________
7. When viewed under a microscope, a different cell has a plasma membrane and a nucleus.
Is the cell prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Plant or animal cell? ___Eukaryotic Animal_______
8. How are Eukaryotic cells different from prokaryotic cells? Eukaryotic has nucleus and
membranes around organelles Prokaryotes are all unicellular
9.
Give the function of each cell structure listed below. Note: some structures belong to prokaryotes
and some to eukaryotes.

Endoplasmic reticulum __Moves things around the cell Rough has ribosomes _____

Lysosomes ____digest and disinfect dead or old materials_____________________

Golgi apparatus ___Sorts and packages proteins____________________

Chloroplast _____converts sunlight into energy for the plant____________________

Capsule _____protective covering for bacteria_________________________

Mitochondrion ____converts food into energy for the cell________________________

Cell Membrane: allows some things to go into and out of the cell (selectively permeable)

Large central vacuole ___In plant cell, stores water and waste for the cell_______

Chloroplasts ___Converts sunlight into energy for the plant_________________

Flagella _____tail on cell that helps move the cell________________

Cell Wall ___provides structure for plant cell ___

Nucleus ____controls all the activities of the cell and has all the genetic information__
9. Without ribosomes, which macromolecule cannot be produced? ___protein_________
10. How are plant and animal cells different from one another? ___plant have cell wall
and chloroplast and large central vacuole animal has centrioles and lysosomes_________
11. Cell membrane is another name for which cell structure? ____plasma membrane____
12. Circle the characteristics shared by eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells from the list

13. When can prokaryotic cells have a nuclear membrane? _____NEVER______________
14. Active cells require more energy than cells that are less active. Which cell organelle is
responsible for providing energy for the cell? ___mitochondria____________________
15. Which cell organelle is green? ____chloroplast____________ In which kingdom(s) may
these green organelles be found? Plant
16. What organelles do plant cells have that animal cells do not?
central vacoule
