Part II: Fill in the blank. For the following statements, fill in the type of cell that is being described by the
statement. Use the following words to answer: eukaryotic, prokaryotic, plant, animal.
6. _________________ Complex cells containing a nucleus; can be single-celled or multi-cellular.
7. _________________ Contain chloroplasts and a cell wall.
8. _________________ Can only be single-celled.
9. _________________ Contain lysosomes to eliminate waste and no cell wall.
10. _________________ Bacteria is this type of cell.
Part III: Matching. Match the cell organelle with its function. Each word has only one correct definition.
Cell Organelle
11. ________ Nucleus
12. ________ Chloroplast
Function
A. Stores water and nutrients for the cell. Is
usually larger in plant cells than animal cells.
13. ________ Mitochondria
B. Uses light energy to create food for the cell.
14. ________ Ribosome
C. Regulates what goes into and out of the cell;
15. ________ Cell Wall
semi-permeable.
16. ________ Cell Membrane
D. Manufactures proteins in the cell.
17. ________ Vacuole
E. Stores all of the genetic information in the
18. ________ Lysosome
cell and controls cell activity.
F. Produces energy for the cell.
G. Gives rigid structure to plant cells and
protects the cell from harm.
H. Cleans and recycles old cell parts in the cell.
Part IV: Multiple Choice. Select the response that best answers the question.
19. Maryland white oak trees make their own food. Their cells contain structures that capture energy from
the sun. What are these structures?
A. chloroplasts
B. nuclei
C. mitochondria
D. ribosomes
20. Which cell structure contains molecules that direct cell activities?
A. nucleus
B. ribosome
C. mitochondrion
D. Chloroplast
21. A cell is shown in the diagram on the right

cell comes from a plant and not from an animal?
a.
b.
c.
d.
a large vacuole
a single nucleus

22. The illustrations below represent two different cells.
Which of the following statements best identifies these two cells?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Cell X is a prokaryotic cell and cell Y is a eukaryotic cell.
Cell X is an archaea cell and cell Y is a bacterial cell.
Cell X is a red blood cell and cell Y is a muscle cell.
Cell X is a plant cell and cell Y is an animal cell.
23. Which of the following matches the cell part with its function?
a. Vacuole – a pouch containing toxins that can be injected into competing cells
b. Ribosomes – tiny organelles that link amino acids together to make protein
c. Nucleus – stores all the energy of the cell inside
d. Chloroplast – used to break down sugars to make ATP
24. Which of the following accurately describes the difference between plant and animal cells?
a. Plant cells contain lysosomes and a cell membrane, but no cell wall.
b. Animal cells contain a cell wall and chloroplasts, but no cell membrane.
c. Plant and animal cells both contain a cell membrane, but plant cells also contain a cell wall.
d. None of these are correct.
Part V: Short answer. In the space below, describe a system that compares to a cell. For example, we
compared a cell to a city in class and described how a nucleus is similar to a city government. Please
compare your cell to a system and provide comparisons for each cell structure.
