- A.
They contain the cells DNA
- B.
They store food water and waste
- C.
They pump blood in the cell
- D.
They change food, water, and oxygen into energy
Correct Answer
D. They change food, water, and oxygen into energyExplanation
Mitochondria are the "powerhouses" of cells. It is energy to keep the cell alive is produced from nutrients, water, and oxygen.Rate this question:

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.
- A.
Protects the cell by acting as a barrier.
- B.
Regulates (controls) what substances can go in and out of the cell.
- C.
To store the DNA of a cell
- D.
To produce energy
- E.
To store water and waste
Correct Answer(s)
A. Protects the cell by acting as a barrier.
B. Regulates (controls) what substances can go in and out of the cell.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.Rate this question:

The bone cells of these two creatures are basically the same.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
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.Rate this question:

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?
- A.
The top is a red blood cell, the bottom is a nerve cell
- B.
The top is a white blood cell, the bottom is a nerve cell the top is a nerve cell, the bottom is a red blood cell
- C.
Neither, the top is a piece of candy, the bottom is a type of worm
- D.
They are both skin cells
Correct Answer
A. The top is a red blood cell, the bottom is a nerve cellExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Unlike molecules, you can see most cells with a microscope.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- B.
Cell membrane
- C.
Chloroplast
- D.
Nucleus
Correct Answer
A. Cell wallExplanation
A skeleton of an animal and the cell walls of plant cell (when joined together) help support the organism.Rate this question:
