Directions: Answer the following questions in complete sentences. Use your notes, textbooks or any other source when
answering.
1. What type of cell is the Cell B in the diagram? Explain how you know.
2. From the diagram above, there is an organelle in Cell A that surrounds the cell that gives it shape and extra
support. What is the name of the organelle? Explain.
3. Ribosomes, the organelles that make proteins, can be found in two locations in the cell. Name those two
locations.
4. Which organelle gives the cell its green color and is the place where photosynthesis takes place?
5. It took several scientists and many years to develop The Cell Theory. Many scientific laws and theories
are changed over time if new discoveries and experiments are made to prove previous laws or theories
are incorrect. Based on that statement, can new discoveries change an existing scientific theory or law?
Explain.
