Cell Parts Quiz

Question 1

Vacuoles (Plants and Animals)

Answer 1

Question 2

Chloroplasts

Answer 2

A type of plastid found only in plants that contains chlorophyll

Question 3

Ribosomes

Answer 3

Where protein synthesis takes place

Question 4

Vesicles

Answer 4

Transports materials within the cell

Question 5

Cytoplasm

Answer 5

The “Nutrient Soup” of the cell as it contains materials needed for many processes that take place inside the cell

Question 6

Nucleus

Answer 6

Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell

Question 7

Centrioles

Answer 7

These are necessary for cell division. They are responsible for moving chromosomes apart.

Question 8

Lysosomes

Answer 8

Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles, and invading viruses or bacteria

Question 9

Ribosomes

Answer 9

Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum

Question 10

Endoplasmic Reticulm

Answer 10

May be without ribosomes (Smooth)
With ribosomes (rough)

Question 11

Cell Walls

Answer 11

Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria and some protists.

Question 12

Mitochondria

Answer 12

Produces a usable form of energy for the cell using complex sugars

Question 13

Golgi

Answer 13

Receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and packages them for transport out of the cell.

Question 14

Cytosol

Answer 14

Everything inside the cell including the nucleus

Question 15

Nucleolus

Answer 15

Site where ribosomes are made

Question 16

Cell Membrane

Answer 16

The membrane surrounding the cell. It controls what can enter and leave the cell.

Question 17

Lipid Bilayer

Answer 17

Provides support for the cell, has two “subparts”

Question 18

Chromosomes

Answer 18

Name for the collection of DNA inside cells

Question 19

Cytoskeleton

Answer 19

Consist of hollow tubes with provide support, shape, and allow movement, among other things.

Question 20

Cilia or Flagella

Answer 20

Small hair-like or whip like structures that some cells use for movement (if they move) or sensing things.

Question 21

DNA

Answer 21

A self-replicating material in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes.
It is the carrier of genetic information.

Question 22

Genes

Answer 22

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA.

Question 23

The hierarchical organization of living things

Answer 23

atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere

(AMOCTOOSOPCEB)

Question 24

Tissue

Answer 24

A group of cells that have similar structure, functions together, fills the spaces between the cells.

Question 25

Organ Systems

Answer 25

A biological system consisting of a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions.

Question 26

Organelle

Answer 26

Any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell.

Question 27

Cell

Answer 27

The basic structures of all living organisms

Question 28

Organ

Answer 28

A differentiated structure (such as a heart, kidney, leaf, or stem)

Question 29

Taxonomy

Answer 29

The practice and science of categorization or classification. (Organizing)

Question 30

Hierarchy of groups (Ranking)

Answer 30

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus Species DKPCOFGS

Question 31

What's the differences between a domain and a kingdom?

Answer 31

A domain is a taxonomic category above the kingdom level. (Bacteria, Eukarya, Archea) Kingdom = Animals, Fungi, Protists, Plants, Bacteria, Archaea

Question 32

What's the similarities and difference between archaea and bacteria?

Answer 32

Differences: Bacteria - Lives EVERYWHERE, a prokaryotic cell. Archaea - lives in harsh environments, a eukaryotic cell. Similarites: Unicellular Autotroph AND Hetertroph

Question 33

Autotroph

Answer 33

An organism that produces its own food

Question 34

Heterotroph

Answer 34

An organism that CANNOT produce its own food

Question 35

Viruses

Answer 35

An infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. (VERY SMALL)

Question 36

What do ALL living things have in common?

Answer 36

Cellular organization, the ability to reproduce, growth & development, energy use, homeostasis, response to their environment, and the ability to adapt.

Question 37

Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Similarities and Differences

Answer 37

Similarities: Ribosomes DIfferences: Eukaryotic cells - Contains a cell membrane. All unicellular. Prokaryotic cells - No cell membrane. Mainly Multicellular

Question 38

Plants VS Animal Eukaryotic cells

Answer 38

Differences: Animal cells - lysosomes, Plant cells - cell wall, chloroplasts, specialized plastids, a large central vacuole. Similarities: Cell membrane Cell organelles Nucleus Mitochondria Endoplasmic reticulum.
