Cell Structures and Function
Read each question. Circle the letter of the correct answer.
1. Which of these structures surround cells?
5. The functions of individual cells and the
functions of multicellular organisms are
similar. The table identifies some functions of
cells and the organ systems that perform these
functions in multicellular organisms.
A. cell wall and nucleus
B. cell membrane and cell wall
C. cytoplasm and cytoskeleton
D. cell membrane and cytoplasm
2. What two features do eukaryotes have that
prokaryotes do not have?
A. cell wall and ribosomes
B. nucleus and genetic material
C. membrane-bound organelles and nucleus
Which of these organelles has a similar
function to the digestive system?
D. membrane-bound organelles and genetic
material
A. nucleus
B. lysosome
3. Under a high-powered microscope, Dan sees a
cellular organelle. The organelle has a double
membrane, and the inner membrane is folded.
Which organelle does Dan see?
C. mitochondrion
D. Golgi complex
6. Jorge looks through a microscope and observes
the structures of cells on a microscope slide.
He concludes that the cells he observes are
eukaryotic cells. Which of these structures did
Jorge most likely observe before making his
conclusion?
A. nucleus
B. ribosome
C. mitochondrion
D. endoplasmic reticulum
A. nucleus
4. Eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells have
some parts in common. Which of these pairs of
parts would you find in both types of cells?
B. cytoplasm
C. cell membrane
A. cytoplasm and nucleus
D. genetic material
B. cell membrane and cytoplasm
7. Cells must perform many of the same types of
functions as body systems do. Which of these
pairs correctly matches the cell organelle with
the body system that performs a similar
function?
C. genetic material and membrane-bound
organelles
D. cell membrane and membrane-bound
organelles
A. lysosome and circulatory system
B. cell membrane and skeletal system
C. nucleus and nervous system
D. Golgi complex and integumentary system

Read each statement. Write your answer on the lines.
8. Explain how a cell can be described as a whole system and also as part of a larger system.
Cell contains organelle that perform all the living function of the -cell,
Cell is the building unit of all living organism
9. The diagram shows a cell that Dimitri saw on his microscope
slide.
Dimitri’s teacher gave him an unlabeled slide of some cells and
asked him to identify whether the cells were plant cells or animal
cells. Dimitri examined the slide under a microscope and
concluded that the cells were plant cells. How did Dimitri reach
his conclusion? Is his conclusion correct? What life process can
these cells carry out that a cell from another kind of multicellular
organism cannot?
It surrounded by cell wall _____________________
