Plants & Animal Cells

Question 1

What kind of molecules diffuse the cell membrane directly?

Answer 1

Uncharged molecules

Question 2

How is the nuclear membrane and cell membrane similar?

Answer 2

Because molecules and ions are allowed to enter

Question 3

What happens inside the Mitochondrion?

Answer 3

Small molecules and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide

Question 4

What is the function of the centriole?

Answer 4

Organizing the movement of chromosomes during cell division

Question 5

What are structures inside the cell that help it to live and perform its role in an organism?

Answer 5

Mitochondria, Nucleus, and Organelles

Question 6

How do plant cells differ from animal cells?

Answer 6

Plants can perform photosynthesis but animals cannot. Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall while animal cells aren’t.

Question 7

What is cytoplasm?

Answer 7

Everything between the nuclear membrane and the cell membrane

Question 8

What is lysosome?

Answer 8

A sac filled with digestive chemicals

Question 9

What is Mitochondria?

Answer 9

Structures that convert nutrients to energy

Question 10

What is a centriole?

Answer 10

A structure that organizes the motion of chromosomes

Question 11

What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

Answer 11

Passageways where chemicals are made

Question 12

What is a vacuole?

Answer 12

A sac that stores water, nutrients, and waste products

Question 13

What is the cell membrane?

Answer 13

A membrane that surrounds and protects the cell

Question 14

What is the nucleus?

Answer 14

A structure that contains DNA and regulates genes

Question 15

What is cytoskeleton?

Answer 15

Tubules and filaments that give the cell its shape

Question 16

What is a ribosome?

Answer 16

A small structure that synthesizes proteins

Question 17

What is the nuclear membrane?

Answer 17

Membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus

Question 18

What is the Golgi apparatus?

Answer 18

Stack of membranes that packages chemicals

Question 19

What is a vesicle?

Answer 19

A package created by the Golgi Apparatus which helps transport materials an organism requires to survive and recycle

Question 20

What is a nucleolus?

Answer 20

A structure that manufactures ribosomes

Question 21

How can some large molecules and charged ions get through the cell membrane?

Answer 21

Through special transport proteins

Question 22

How do cells make proteins inside the ribosome?

Answer 22

By bringing the amino acids to the ribosome which creates a long chain

Question 23

How do vesicles move through the cell?

Answer 23

By getting pulled along the cytoskeleton by kinesin

Question 24

What structures are present in an animal cell but not in a plant cell?

Answer 24

Lysosomes and Centriole

Question 25

What structures are present in a plant cell but not in an animal cell?

Answer 25

A cell wall, chloroplasts, plastid, and a large central vacuole

Question 26

What is the organelle responsible for transporting materials such as proteins through the cell called?

Answer 26

Endoplasmic reticulum

Question 27

Specialized cells that produce mucus have many?

Answer 27

Golgi bodies

Question 28

Specialized cells that use a lot of energy such as muscle cells have a lot of?

Answer 28

Mitochondria

Question 29

What does a prokaryotic cell lack?

Answer 29

A nucleus

Question 30

What does selectively permeable mean?

Answer 30

It allows certain particles to enter the cell and blocks others.

Question 31

Answer 31

Chloroplast

Question 32

Which organelle would store water and dissolved materials?

Answer 32

The vacuole

Question 33

Which organelle makes energy available to the cell?

Answer 33

Mitochondria
