Review For Chapter 3 – Cell Structure and Function
There are approximately 40-45 questions on the test: multiple choice, short answer, completion, and
essay. You need to know all of the chapter vocabulary, cell theory, the difference between prokaryotes
and eukaryotes, and the major differences between plant and animal cells. Be able to identify and state
the function of all of the eukaryotic organelles that are discussed in the book. Know the structure and
function of the cell membrane, the various kinds of passive and active transport, and different solute
concentration in isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions.
The following is information on specific benchmarks that will be assessed on this test and on the End-ofCourse exam:
SC.912.L.14.1 Describe the scientific theory of cells (cell theory) and relate the
history of its discovery to the process of science. Students will describe and/or
explain the cell theory. Students will describe how continuous investigations and/or new
scientific information influenced the development of the cell theory. Items may assess
how contributions of scientists such as Van Leeuwenhoek, Hooke, Schwann, Schleiden,
and/or Virchow aided in the development of the cell theory but will not assess what each
scientist contributed.
Sample Item
The cell theory was first proposed in 1838. Evidence obtained through additional scientific investigations
resulted in the current cell theory. Which statement describes a component of the original cell theory that
was removed because of the new scientific knowledge?
A. All living things are made of cells.
B. All cells come from other preexisting cells.
C. Cells form through spontaneous generation.
D. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life.
SC.912.L.14.3 Compare and contrast the general structures of plant and animal
cells. Compare and contrast the general structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic
cells. Students will compare and/or contrast the structures found in plant cells and in
animal cells. Students will compare and/or contrast the structures found in prokaryotic
cells and in eukaryotic cells. Students will describe how structures in cells are directly
related to their function in the cell. Students will explain the role of the cell membrane
during active and passive transport. Items will not address protists or fungi or assess
cellular structures unique to protists or fungi. Items referring to prokaryotic structures
are limited to the cell wall, cell membrane (plasma membrane), cytoplasm, plasmid,
ribosomes, and flagella. Items referring to eukaryotic structures are limited to the cell
wall, cell membrane (plasma membrane), cytoplasm, nucleus, nuclear envelope,
nucleolus, chromatin, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, microtubules, microfilaments,
vacuoles, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, lysosomes, cilia, and flagella.
Items referring to the role of the cell membrane may address hypotonic, hypertonic,
and/or isotonic solutions; however, the assessment should be on processes and not
terminology.
Sample Item 3 SC.912.L.14.3
There are some similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Which of the following structures is
found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
A. lysosome
B. mitochondrion
C. nucleus
D. ribosome
