13.5 Assessment Study Guide
1. What does an eukaryotic cell have that prokaryotic cell does not? A nucleus
2. What human body system breaks down food and absorbs nutrients? digestive
3. What cellular process is like riding a bicycle uphill and pedaling like crazy? Active transport
4. What are groups of one or more organs working together to perform functions for the organism? Organ
system
5. What are the parts of the cell theory? All living things are made of cells; Cells are the smallest working
units of all living things; Cells come from pre-existing cells through cell division.
6. What organelle is nicknamed the “powerhouse” of the cell? mitochondria
7. What is the clear, thick, jelly-like substance that fills the inside of the cell? cytoplasm
8. What are the structures that are located inside the cell called? organelles
9. What is the “gatekeeper” for the cell? Cell membrane
10. What do all organic compounds contain? nitrogen
11. What human body system transports materials such as oxygen and nutrients to cells and waste
products from the cells? circulatory
12. What is a protein that speeds up chemical reactions? enzymes
13. What organelle stores food and other materials needed by the cell? Vacuole
14. What did the invention of the microscope make possible for people to discover? cells
15. What is the source of energy for most autotrophs? the sun
What is the source of energy for most heterotrophs? other organisms
16. What is a prokaryotic cell? What is an example of one? a cell without a nucleus; bacteria
17. What is formed when cells that are alike and have the same function join together? tissue
18. What human body system removes wastes from the body? excretory
19. What instrument that makes small objects look larger? microscope
20. What human body system takes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide? respiratory
21. When you pour salt in a glass of water, at first it doesn’t taste salty. Later, it tastes very salty.
What process is taking place? Is it passive or active transport? Diffusion; passive
22. What human body system is responsible for producing eggs in females and sperm in males which join
together during fertilization? Reproductive
23. What organelles do all cells contain? Nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondria, golgi bodies, ribosomes,
ER, cytoplasm
24. What are some examples of organs? Heart, lungs, bladder, kidney, liver, skin, brain
25. What does the heart, lungs, veins and arteries make up? Organ system
26. What are organic compounds that store energy? Lipids or carbohydrates
27. What is the movement of molecules that requires energy? active transport
28. What human body system supports and protects the body? skeletal
29. What cell structure is the site of photosynthesis? chloroplasts
30. What is the difference between plant cells and animal cells? Plant cells have chloroplast and cell wall
and animals do not.
31. What is composed of different organs that work together to perform a specific function? organ system
32. What is the protective layer around all cells? cell membrane
33. What is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?
osmosis
34. What is the process of materials moving into the cell? endocytosis
35. What is the process of materials moving out of the cell? exocytosis
36. What are characteristics of living things? Made of cells; share similar chemicals; take in and use
energy; Sense & Respond to Changes in the Environment; Grow & Develop; Reproduce
37. What human body system enables movement of the body and internal organs? muscular
38. What are the levels of organization of a multicellular organism in the correct order? Cells; tissues;
organs; organ systems; organism
39. Why is the cell membrane is considered “selectively permeable?” because it lets some things in and
keeps some things out
40. What organelle makes energy and breaks food down to release ATP? mitochondria
41. What do plants make during photosynthesis? glucose
42. What is the function of a cell membrane? to control what enters and exits the cell
43. What organelle is the control center of a cell? nucleus
44. What human body system fights infections by destroying invaders like bacteria and viruses? endocrine
45. What is the function of the cell wall? to give the plant structure
BE SURE YOU CAN LABEL THE ORGANELLES OF AN ANIMAL CELL AND A PLANT CELL!!!
