    What is the name of this organelle? http://scienceaid.co.uk/biology/cell/structure.html - ProProfs

    What is the name of this organelle? http://scienceaid.co.uk/biology/cell/structure.html

    • Vacuole

    • Endoplasmic Reticulum

    • Cell Membrane

    • Mitochondrion

    Correct Answer
    A. Endoplasmic Reticulum
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Endoplasmic Reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that plays a key role in the synthesis and transport of proteins and lipids. It consists of a network of membranous tubules and sacs that are involved in the production of proteins and lipids, as well as the detoxification of drugs and other harmful substances. It is also responsible for the transport of these molecules within the cell.

    The plant cell is different than the animal cell in that it has a _________ that surrounds the cell.

    Correct Answer
    cell wall
    Explanation
    The plant cell is different from the animal cell because it has a cell wall that surrounds the cell. The cell wall provides structural support and protection to the plant cell, helping it maintain its shape and resist external pressures. It is made up of cellulose, a rigid substance that gives the cell wall its strength. In contrast, animal cells do not have a cell wall, but instead have a flexible cell membrane that allows for greater movement and interaction with their environment.

  • 4. 

    Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane. This statement is true because the cell membrane is a universal feature of all cells, regardless of whether they are plant or animal cells. The cell membrane is a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds the cell and separates the internal environment of the cell from the external environment. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, allowing it to maintain homeostasis and carry out essential functions. Therefore, both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane.

    Which organelle removes substances or contains substances brought into the cell?

    • Vacuole

    • Nucleus

    • Ribosomes

    • Golgi Complex

    Correct Answer
    A. Vacuole
    Explanation
    The vacuole is responsible for removing substances or containing substances brought into the cell. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles found in both plant and animal cells. They play a crucial role in maintaining the cell's internal environment by storing and transporting various substances such as water, nutrients, and waste products. Vacuoles can also help regulate the cell's pH balance and play a role in cell growth and development. Therefore, the vacuole is the correct answer to the question.

    Simple substances that are broken down to provide energy in the organelle  __________.

    Correct Answer
    mitochondrion
    mitochondria
    Explanation
    Simple substances, such as glucose, are broken down to provide energy through a process called cellular respiration. This process takes place in the organelle known as the mitochondrion. The mitochondrion is often referred to in its plural form, mitochondria, as cells usually contain multiple mitochondria. These organelles are responsible for producing ATP, the main energy currency of the cell. Therefore, the correct answer is mitochondrion, mitochondria.

    What organelle is helping the chromosomes split in the mitosis process?

    Correct Answer
    Centrioles
    centrioles
    Explanation
    Centrioles are organelles that play a crucial role in the process of mitosis. They are responsible for organizing and separating the chromosomes during cell division. Centrioles form spindle fibers, which attach to the chromosomes and help in their separation. This ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes. Without centrioles, the chromosomes would not be able to split properly, leading to errors in cell division and potentially causing genetic abnormalities.
