Cell Organelles Warm Up: 2
Welcome to the electronic frontier classroom of the future. Most of the organelles and other cell parts are common to all eukaryotic cellsl. However, bacteria and plant cells have different structures which are extremely important to plant cell physiology.
This warm up permits you an unlimited number of attempts to improve your test-taking and learning objectives. As a bonus, each attempt randomly generates a new question and answers.
- 1.
Centrioles are present in the following prokaryotic/eukaryotic cell(s).
- A.
Animal, Bacteria, and Plant
- B.
Animal only
- C.
Bacteria only
- D.
Plant only
- E.
Animal and Bacteria
- F.
Bacteria and Plant
Correct Answer
B. Animal onlyExplanation
Centrioles are cylindrical structures found in animal cells, specifically in the centrosome. They play a crucial role in cell division by organizing the microtubules that form the spindle fibers. However, centrioles are not present in bacteria or plant cells. Bacteria lack membrane-bound organelles, including centrioles, while plant cells have a different structure called a microtubule organizing center (MTOC) instead of centrioles. Therefore, the correct answer is "Animal only."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Animal and BacteriaExplanation
Cilia are present in both animal and bacterial cells. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that extend from the surface of the cell and are involved in various functions such as movement and sensory perception. In animal cells, cilia are found in certain specialized cells, such as those lining the respiratory tract or the fallopian tubes. In bacterial cells, cilia-like structures called flagella are present, which enable the bacteria to move. Therefore, the correct answer is Animal and Bacteria.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
G. Animal, Bacteria, and PlantExplanation
The plasma membrane is present in animal, bacteria, and plant cells. The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable barrier that surrounds the cell and separates it from its environment. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, allowing nutrients to enter and waste products to exit. In animal cells, the plasma membrane is the outermost boundary of the cell. In bacteria cells, the plasma membrane is located just beneath the cell wall. In plant cells, the plasma membrane is found beneath the cell wall and is responsible for maintaining the cell's shape and regulating water balance.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Animal onlyExplanation
Centrosomes are organelles found in animal cells. They play a crucial role in cell division by organizing the microtubules and facilitating the separation of chromosomes. Bacteria do not have centrosomes, as they are prokaryotic cells that lack membrane-bound organelles. Similarly, plant cells also do not possess centrosomes. Therefore, the correct answer is "Animal only."Rate this question:

Tonoplasts are present in animal and plant cells. The tonoplast is a membrane that surrounds the vacuole in plant and animal cells. It helps maintain the osmotic balance of the cell by regulating the movement of water, ions, and other molecules into and out of the vacuole. In plant cells, the tonoplast also plays a role in storing nutrients and maintaining turgor pressure. In animal cells, the tonoplast is involved in various cellular processes, including endocytosis and exocytosis. Therefore, the presence of tonoplasts is characteristic of both animal and plant cells.Rate this question:

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is mainly present in animal and plant cells. SER is a network of membrane-bound tubules and sacs that lack ribosomes on their surface. It plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium ion storage. While bacteria do have a simpler version of the endoplasmic reticulum called the reticuloplasm, it does not have a smooth or rough distinction like in eukaryotic cells. Therefore, the correct answer is animal and plant cells.Rate this question:

F. Animal and PlantExplanation
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) is mainly present in animal and plant cells. RER is a network of membranes that is studded with ribosomes, giving it a rough appearance. It is involved in protein synthesis and processing. Animal and plant cells both have RER because they both need to produce proteins for various cellular functions. Bacteria, on the other hand, do not have RER as they lack membrane-bound organelles. Therefore, the correct answer is Animal and Plant.Rate this question:

A. Animal onlyExplanation
Microvilli are small, finger-like projections that increase the surface area of a cell. They are mainly found in animal cells. Bacteria do not possess microvilli, as they have a different cell structure. Similarly, plants do not have microvilli, as they have a rigid cell wall and other specialized structures like chloroplasts. Therefore, the correct answer is "Animal only" as microvilli are exclusive to animal cells.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Bacteria onlyExplanation
Endospores are specialized structures that are formed by some bacteria as a means of survival in unfavorable conditions. These structures are highly resistant to heat, radiation, and chemicals, allowing the bacteria to remain dormant and protected until conditions become favorable again. Endospores are not present in animal or plant cells, but are unique to certain bacteria. Therefore, the correct answer is "Bacteria only".Rate this question:
