The Cell Quiz #3

Which organelle is correctly paired with its specific function? (1) cell membrane—storage of hereditary information (2) chloroplast—transport of materials (3) ribosome—synthesis of proteins (4) vacuole—production of ATP

Homeostasis in unicellular organisms depends on the proper functioning of (1) organelles (3) guard cells (2) insulin (4) antibodies

Studies of fat cells and thyroid cells show that fat cells have fewer mitochondria than thyroid cells. A biologist would most likely infer that fat tissue (1) does not require energy (2) has energy requirements equal to those of thyroid tissue (3) requires less energy than thyroid tissue (4) requires more energy than thyroid tissue

While viewing a slide of rapidly moving sperm cells, a student concludes that these cells require a large amount of energy to maintain their activity. The organelles that most directly provide this energy are known as (1) vacuoles (3) chloroplasts (2) ribosomes (4) mitochondria

If the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed, what effect would this most likely have on the cell? (1) It would stimulate mitotic cell division. (2) The cell would be unable to synthesize proteins. (3) Development of abnormal hereditary features would occur in the cell. (4) Increased protein absorption would occur through the cell membrane.
