Cells And Structures Day 2 - Quiz


Based on the last two, what do you remember about what's 'going on' within cells?


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    In this image are green stacks.  What compound produces the green colour?

    • A.

      Granum

    • B.

      Chlorophyll

    • C.

      Chloroplast

    • D.

      Melanin

    Correct Answer
    B. Chlorophyll
    Explanation
    Chlorophyll is the compound that produces the green color in the image. Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants and algae, and it plays a crucial role in photosynthesis. It absorbs light energy from the sun and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The green color of chlorophyll comes from its ability to absorb red and blue light while reflecting green light. This is why plants appear green to our eyes.

    The structure shown above is called a ________________________ .  It is usually found in ________________ cells.  The inner membrane includes stacks of thylakoid membranes...this structure increases the __________________________ where photosynthesis will take place.

    Correct Answer
    chloroplast. plant. surface area
    Explanation
    The structure shown in the question is called a chloroplast. It is usually found in plant cells. The inner membrane of the chloroplast includes stacks of thylakoid membranes, which increase the surface area where photosynthesis will take place.

  • 3. 

    This organelle is called a ________; it produces a form of energy called _________.

    • A.

      Ribosome; protein

    • B.

      Chloroplast; glucose

    • C.

      Endoplasmic reticulum; ribosomes

    • D.

      Mitochondrion; ATP

    Correct Answer
    D. Mitochondrion; ATP
    Explanation
    The correct answer is mitochondrion; ATP. The mitochondrion is an organelle responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. It is often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell because it generates the majority of the cell's energy. ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is a molecule that stores and transports energy within cells.

    These brown channels are involved in the transportation of ______; which were initially constructed at the blue dots (called _______)

    • A.

      Nucleus; DNA

    • B.

      Endoplasmic reticulum; ribosomes

    • C.

      Golgi body; vesicles

    • D.

      Ribosomes; polypeptides

    Correct Answer
    B. Endoplasmic reticulum; ribosomes
    Explanation
    The brown channels mentioned in the question are involved in the transportation of substances. The blue dots referred to as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are the initial sites where these substances are constructed. Therefore, the correct answer is endoplasmic reticulum; ribosomes.

  • 5. 

    In this image, materials move through and then "___" occurs.  At this time, a vesicle is formed

    • A.

      Fusing

    • B.

      Modifying

    • C.

      Blebbing

    Correct Answer
    C. Blebbing
    Explanation
    In this image, materials move through and then "blebbing" occurs. Blebbing is a process in which the cell membrane protrudes outwards, forming a bulge or bubble-like structure called a vesicle. This process is often observed during cell division or in response to certain stimuli.

  • 6. 

    The blue structure below is a cell.  What is the name of the bright orange structure?

    • A.

      Nucleus

    • B.

      Nucleolus

    • C.

      DNA

    • D.

      Ribosome

    Correct Answer
    B. Nucleolus
    Explanation
    The bright orange structure in the blue cell is called the nucleolus. The nucleolus is responsible for producing ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis. It is located within the nucleus of the cell and plays a crucial role in the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and the assembly of ribosomes.

  • 7. 

    The two stains used in our lab were _________ and __________

    Correct Answer
    Methylene Blue and Iodine
    Explanation
    The two stains used in the lab were Methylene Blue and Iodine. These stains are commonly used in laboratories for different purposes. Methylene Blue is a basic dye that is often used to stain animal cells and tissues, as well as to stain DNA in gel electrophoresis. Iodine, on the other hand, is a complex stain that is commonly used for staining starch in biological samples. It forms a blue-black color when it reacts with starch, making it easier to visualize and study under a microscope. Overall, Methylene Blue and Iodine are two commonly used stains in the lab for different staining purposes.
