Quiz

Question 1

Plant Cell

Answer 1

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms.

Question 2

Animal Cell

Answer 2

Animal cells are typical of the eukaryotic cell, enclosed by a plasma membrane and containing a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. Unlike the eukaryotic cells of plants and fungi, animal cells do not have a cell wall.

Question 3

Organelle

Answer 3

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

Question 4

Cell Membrane

Answer 4

the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.

Question 5

Cell Wall

Answer 5

a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose.

Question 6

Cytoplasm

Answer 6

the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.

Question 7

Mitochondria

Answer 7

an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).

Question 8

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 8

a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.

Question 9

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 9

a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

Question 10

Ribosomes

Answer 10

a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.
