Jaguar Review #12
Life Sciences-Benchmark A: Explain that the basic functions of organisms are carried out in cells and groups of
specialized cells form tissues and organs; the combination of these cells make up multicellular organisms that have
a variety of body plans and internal structures.
1. Which of the following describes the organization of the structures that make up
multicellular living organisms from most simple to most complex?
A. Tissues, organs, cells, organ systems
B. Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems
C. Organ systems, organs, tissues, cells
D. Cells, organs, tissues, organ systems
2. Which structures do plant cells contain that animal cells do not?
A. chloroplasts and mitochondria
B. nuclei and cell walls
C. cell walls and chloroplasts
D. mitochondria and nuclei
3. What is the function of the organ system shown below?
A. transports materials
B. provides energy
C. gives support
D. fights diseases
4. In a multicellular organism, such as a fish, which of these items is composed of all the
others?
A. tissues
B. organs
C. cell structures
D. organ systems
5. The structures found in a living cell can be compared to the parts of a factory that
produces cars. Which part of the factory is most similar to the nucleus of al living
cell?
A. A conveyor belt that transports materials.
B. A storage bin that holds the pieces needed to assemble a car.
C. The computer room that controls the assembly process.
D. The generator that provides energy for the factory.
Use the information below to answer question 6.
The diagram represents a cross section of a lagoon and some of its
aquatic organisms. A magnified view (400X magnification) of
each organism is shown.
6.Structure Z serves the same function in each of the organisms.
What is the function of structure Z in the water lily, fish and paramecium
cells?
Lagoon
A. to move the cells
B. to control cellular activities
C. to carry out photosynthesis
D. to allow nutrients to enter and exit the cells
7. Which structure is found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell?
A. cell wall
B. cell membrane
C. cytoplasm
D. nucleus
Use the diagram and information below to answer question 8.
8. A student was studying a prepared slide of human cheek
cells under a compound light microscope. The diagram
represents what the student observed on the slide at a
magnification of 100X.
In each cell, what would the shaded structure shown
represent?
A. mitochondria
B. cell wall
C. nucleus
D. cytoplasm
9. In all organisms, which microscopic structures carry out the major life functions?
A. chloroplasts
B. cells
C. wings
D. antennae
Use the diagrams and key to the right to answer questions 10-13.
10. What two structures are found in both plant and animal cells?
A. vacuole and chloroplast
B. vacuole and cell membrane
C. cell membrane and cell wall
D. cell wall and nucleus
11. Which structure shown in the plant cell diagram is the site for photosynthesis?
A. cell membrane

15. Which body system allows your body to transport nutrients to all of your cells?
A. respiratory system
B. digestive system
C. circulatory system
D. endocrine system
16. Cells in the leaf and stem of a plant cell can convert energy from light into chemical
energy during photosynthesis. However, there are some plant cells (a root cell for
example) that, if exposed to light, will not be able to undergo photosynthesis. Why
are some plant cells unable to perform photosynthesis?
A. There are plant cells that are killed by light exposure.
B. Not all cells need energy, so not all cells use photosynthesis.
C. Since all cells are connected, photosynthesis only occurs in certain cells.
D. Not all cells have the structure that is required for the conversion of light to energy.
