I. Choose the correct response for the following statements or questions
Marks: 10
1. A folded organelle that makes proteins.
A) Golgi apparatus
B) endoplasmic reticulum
C) vacuole
D) cytosol
2. Plant cells have a rigid protective one outside the cell membrane that works to maintain cell
shape.
A) cell membrane
B) nucleus
C) nucleolus
D) cell wall
3. The cells enclosed by this, but it allows communication between the inside & the exterior via:
-Pores that regulate ion flow (e.g. Ca++, Na+, K+ & Cl-)
- Receptors that sense such chemicals.
A) endoplasmic reticulum
B) nucleus
C) cell membrane
D) cell wall
5. It is the watery “soup” of the cell surrounding the organelles.
Much cell metabolism occurs in it including:
-Glycolysis
-Signal transduction between organelles.
A) Golgi apparatus
B) cytosol
C) vacuole
D) cytoplasm
6. It has a double membrane.
Communication with the cytosol occurs via pores.
The DNA is contained in the chromatin.
- DNA is the same in all cells.
- Cell characteristics are determined by the active DNA.
- Chromatin condenses to visible chromosomes at cell division.
A) cell membrane
B) nucleus
C) nucleolus
D) cell wall
7. This part of the plant cell is located within the nucleus.
- Ribosomes are made here.
-After creation, the ribosomes move to the rough endoplamic reticulum where they participate in
protein synthesis.
A) cell membrane
B) nucleus
C) nucleolus
D) cell wall
8. This is a system as a continuation of the outer nuclear membrane, is a network of membranebound vesicles & tubules.
A) Golgi apparatus
B) endoplasmic reticulum
C) vacuole
D) cytoplasm
9. They are found both free and in the cytosol and associated with the rough endoplamic reticulum.
-They are the site for the messenger RNA (mRNA) translation into proteins.
A) lysosomes
B) vacuoles
C) chloroplasts
D) ribosomes
10. These sections, which lack ribosomes are called transitional elements where transport vesicles
form to carry newly made products to the Golgi apparatus.
A) rough endoplasmic reticulum
B) smooth endoplasmic reticulum
C) chloroplasts
D) ribosomes
True of false
Marks: 2
1. Mitochondria break down food particles and release their stored energy. The cell uses
this energy to fuel all of its activities.
T
F
2. The cell plant and the animal plant have the same organelles.
T
F
II.
A. Match the correct answer using the letters on the right. Marks: 8
1. Tiny organelles that help make proteins. There are many
of these organelles in the cytoplasm . ___
a.
ribosomes
2. A large organelle that is easy to see under magnification.
It controls the activities of the cell, such as growth. ___
b. Golgi apparatus
3. Membrane-bound organelles that contain a green substance
(pigment) called chlorophyll. In a process called
photosynthesis.
_____
c.
mitochondria
4. Found in plant cells but not in animal cells The rigid
structure that surrounds the cell membrane It provides
the cell with strength and support. Materials pass in
or out of the cell through pores in the cell wall.. ____
d.
vacuole
e.
cytoplasm
f.
chloroplasts
5 . A folded organelle that combines proteins made
by the endoplasmic reticulum and delivers them
to the rest of the cell and outside the cell . ___
6. These organelles break down food particles and
release their stored energy. The cell uses this
energy to fuel all of its activities. They are
surrounded by a membrane.___
g.
photosynthesis
h.
nucleus
i.
cell wall
7. Chlorophyll uses the Sun's energy to cover carbon
dioxide and water into sugar (food) and oxygen. ____
8. A large, sac-like organelle that stores excess
food, waste, and other substances . Each is
surrounded by a membrane . ____
