Mr. Bonnan's Cells Quiz

1. A cell's organelles float around in a jelly-like substance called cytoplasm.

True

False

Cytoplasm IS the jelly-like stuff in a cell. The organelles kind of float around in it.

Explanation

Cytoplasm IS the jelly-like stuff in a cell. The organelles kind of float around in it.

2. What happens in the chloroplast of a plant cell?

Photosynthesis

Shake and bake baby

Nothing

Evaporation

Chloroplasts are filled with green chlorophyll. It is here that photosynthesis occurs.

Explanation

Chloroplasts are filled with green chlorophyll. It is here that photosynthesis occurs.

3. What is the name of the green chemical in the chloroplasts of plant cells that allows the chloroplast to conduct photosynthesis. ?

Chloroplasm

Chlorophyll

Punxsatawneyphill

Bob

Chlorophyll is the green chemical in chloroplasts that is used in photosynthesis.

Explanation

Chlorophyll is the green chemical in chloroplasts that is used in photosynthesis.

4. Animal and plant cells BOTH have mitochondria. What do mitochondria do?

They contain the cells DNA

They store food water and waste

They pump blood in the cell

They change food, water, and oxygen into energy

Mitochondria are the "powerhouses" of cells. It is energy to keep the cell alive is produced from nutrients, water, and oxygen.

Explanation

Mitochondria are the "powerhouses" of cells. It is energy to keep the cell alive is produced from nutrients, water, and oxygen.

5. Although cells have the same basic parts, they can look very different and perform different functions. After watching the BrainPop video on cells, what types of cells are these?

The top is a red blood cell, the bottom is a nerve cell

Neither, the top is a piece of candy, the bottom is a type of worm

They are both skin cells

This is an important question. Cells have the same basic parts BUT can LOOK different and perform different functions. The cells on top are red blood cells which transfer food, water, and nutrients to cells and carry waste away. The cell on the bottom is a nerve cell that transmits senses.

Explanation

This is an important question. Cells have the same basic parts BUT can LOOK different and perform different functions. The cells on top are red blood cells which transfer food, water, and nutrients to cells and carry waste away. The cell on the bottom is a nerve cell that transmits senses.

6. Every in an animal or plant cell has DNA. Where is the DNA of a cell located?

In the mitochondria

In the ribosomes

In the nucleus

No specific organelle, DNA just floats around in the cytoplasm

DNA is located in the nucleus.

Explanation

DNA is located in the nucleus.

7. Which one do you like?

They contain the cells DNA

They store food, water and waste

They pump blood in the cell

They change food, water, and oxygen into energy

Vacuoles store food, water, and waste for later use or elimination.

Explanation

Vacuoles store food, water, and waste for later use or elimination.

8. Unlike molecules, you can see most cells with a microscope.

True

False

Cells are MUCH larger than molecules. Cells are probably made of MILLIONS of molecules. You can NOT see molecules with a microscope, but you CAN see cells. I believe that I read somewhere that you can actually see the nerve cell of a giraffes neck WITHOUT a microscope.

9.

Functions of the Cell Membrane:

Protects the cell by acting as a barrier.
regulates the transport of substances in and out of the cell.
receives chemical messengers from other cell.
acts as a receptor.
cell mobility, secretions, and absorptions of substances.

What are 2 functions of the Cell Membrane?

Protects the cell by acting as a barrier.

Regulates (controls) what substances can go in and out of the cell.

To store the DNA of a cell

To produce energy

To store water and waste

Cell membranes touch blood. When blood passes by, food, water, and nutrients move through the cell membrane INTO the cell and waste moves out of the cell and back into the blood.

Explanation

Cell membranes touch blood. When blood passes by, food, water, and nutrients move through the cell membrane INTO the cell and waste moves out of the cell and back into the blood.

10. A plant cell has 2 main things that an animal cell doesn't. Check the TWO things.

Mitochondria

Cell membrane

Cell wall

Vacuoles

Golgi complexes

Chloroplasts

Endoplasmic reticulum

Plant cells have the same parts as animal cells PLUS cell walls for structure and support, and chloroplasts to conduct photosynthesis.

Explanation

Plant cells have the same parts as animal cells PLUS cell walls for structure and support, and chloroplasts to conduct photosynthesis.

11. The bone cells of these two creatures are basically the same.

True

False

Except for the reproductive cells made in the ovaries and testicles, cells in males and females are the same. A woman, for example could receive a blood transfusion from a man and vice versa. The heart is made up of cells and could be transplanted from a man to a woman.

12. Which of the following parts of a plant cell performs a function similar to a skeleton in an animal?

Cell wall

Cell membrane

Chloroplast

Nucleus

A skeleton of an animal and the cell walls of plant cell (when joined together) help support the organism.

Explanation

A skeleton of an animal and the cell walls of plant cell (when joined together) help support the organism.
