Cells are the smallest units of structure and function of all living things.
Chloroplasts help plant cells make food through a process called photosynthesis.
All animal cells are the same.
Plant cells have cell walls instead of cell membranes.
Organelles are structures that make up a cell and aide in its function.
Animal cells have no structure since they do not have cell walls.
Directions – Select the letter of the best answer choice for each of the following questions.
____ 22.
Which of the following statements does NOT represent a difference between plant and
animal cells?
A.
Plant cells contain chloroplasts and animal cells do not.
B.
Plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells do not.
C.
Animal cells have chromosomes and plant cells do not.
D.
Animal cells have many small vacuoles and plant cells have one large vacuole.
____ 23.
In an Elodea cell, chloroplasts appeared to “float” within the cell. This is probably because:
A.
The Elodea specimen was mounted incorrectly.
B.
The chloroplasts can move in the gel-like cytoplasm.
C.
The chloroplasts are trying to get out of the cell to get some food.
D.
The chloroplasts were trying to escape the hungry mitochondria.
____ 24.
Which of the following statements makes the most sense?
A.
Cell walls are not found in animal cells because animal cells do not need structure
and support.
B.
A cell without a nucleus could still undergo normal functions.
C.
A cell’s cytoplasm does not have a specific function.
D.
A human muscle cell should contain more mitochondria than a human skin cell
because muscles require more energy for movement.
____ 25.
Robert Hooke made all of the following contributions to microbiology except…
A.
He invented the simple microscope.
B.
He used the term “cell” to refer to the tiny structures he saw in cork.
C.
He was the first to see “wee beasties” under the microscope.
D.
He wrote and published a book called Micrographia, which contained drawings of
the microorganisms that he observed.
