1. According to cell theory, all cells

Explanation

There are prokaryotic (means does not have a true nucleus) and eukaryotic (means does have a true nucleus) cells. There are some cells do not have a true nucleus. But all cells can only come from other cells.

Cells And Cell Theory Quiz - Quiz

This quiz will help you to see how much you know about cell theory.

2. Structures that support and give shape to plant cells are

Explanation

There are no microbodies, Golgi bodies modify and transport proteins, and the nucleus directs the cell by telling it what to do. Cell walls support the plant cell by giving a rigid shape of a rectangle. The cell wall also helps the plant hold on to the water that it has stored.

Submit
3. The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord.  What is the CNS an example of?

Explanation

The brain and spinal cord are seperate organs but they are working together to perform this job.

Submit
4. The storage of hereditary information in a eukaryotic cell is in the

Explanation

The nucleus has the DNA (hereditary info), the cytoplasm is the fluid that the organelles of the cell float in, the centrioles aide in mitosis, and the lysosomes break down materials in the cell.

Submit
5. The mitochondrion of a cell

Explanation

The mitochondrion has two membranes and is kidney-bean shaped. It is the site of cellular respiration because it is where sugars are broken down into energy. Cellular respiration is the process where the cell is provided energy.

Submit
6. The process of releasing energy from the chemical breakdown of compounds in a cell is

Explanation

The definition of respiration is breaking down chemcials to provide energy for the cell

Submit
7. Your heart functions because of tissues like cardiac muscle, blood and connective tissues.  At which level of organization is your heart?

Explanation

The different tissues are working together to perfom one job.

Submit
8. What is the movement of substances into and out of a cell without the use of energy called?

Explanation

Active and passive transport involves materials entering and leaving the cell. But, active requires energy and passive does not. Exocytosis means things leave the cell only. Endocyotosis means things enter the cell only.

Submit
9. What is the result of mitosis?

Explanation

In mitosis you end up with 2 daughter cells that are exact copies of the parent cell. In mitosis, you end up with 4 daughter cells that have half of the genetic material and this is where you see genetic variation. There is not way to end up with 2 cells with half of the material.

Submit
10. Which of the following is an example of a tissue?

Explanation

Chloroplast is part of the plant cell, stomach is an organ, human is an organism but bicep is tissue because it is made up of the same type of cells doing the same job.

Submit
11. What happens during active transport?

Explanation

Since the question asked about active you are looking for an answer the describes using energy. Answers a, b, d all refer to passive transport which does not require energy

Submit
12. In photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide, water and light to produce

Explanation

Carbon monoxide is harmful gas that comes out of our car's tail pipe, and chlorophyll is the green pigment that makes plants be green. Glucose and oxygen are produced in photosynthesis so that the glucose can be converted to energy for the cell.

Submit
13. A(n) _____________ is a group of different tissues that work together to perform a certain function.

Explanation

Cells make up tissues. Tissues make up organs. Organs make up organ systems. Organ systems make up organisms.

Submit
14. Which structure below helps many protists rid themselves of wastes?

Explanation

Oral groove is for eating, eyespot is for sensing light and flagellum is for movement. Lysosomes break down wastes and other materials in a cell that are unwanted.

Submit
15. Which of the following is listed from least to most complex?

Explanation

Order is : cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism

Submit
16. In what way are all cells similiar?

Explanation

Plant cells have structures that the animal cell does not, cells don't really create a product, and all living organims have cells. But all cells function in the same way in that they respire, take in nutrients, respond to stimuli, reproduce and so on.

Submit
17. Which structure listed below helps the Euglena sense and respond to their environment?

Explanation

contractile vacuole gets rid of excess water, flagellum is for movements and chloroplasts are site of photosynthesis in plant cells. The eyespot detects light and helps the Euglena to know where to find light so that it can photosynthesize.

Submit
18. Which word below best describes amoeboid movement?

Explanation

Amoebas move slowly using their pseudopods to anchor them and then the ooze their cytoplasm in the direction of the pseudopod to pull them in that direction.

Submit
19. How do Paramecium take in energy?

Explanation

Paramecium have an oral groove to use to eat.

Submit
20. Which 2 protists can reproduce sexually?

Explanation

Euglena reproduce asexually (mitosis), Paramecium can reproduce sexually and asexually. amoebas reproduce asexually
