a)
b)
c)
d)
The number of organelles that the

b.
c.

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Chapter Review
13. Explain why most cells are small.
 Most
cells are small because the
surface area – to – volume ratio
limits how big a cell can get.
 This means that the cell cannot get
enough nutrients or get rid of all the
wastes if it gets too large.

14. Describe the four levels of
organization.
 The
cell is the simplest and most basic
unit of all living things.
 Tissues are a collection of similar cells
that work together to perform a job.
 Organs are a collection of different
tissues that work together to perform a
job.
 Organ systems are a collection of
organs that work together to perform a
job.

15. What is the difference between
the structure of an organ and the
function of the organ?
 The
structure of an organ is how the
organ is organized or how it LOOKS.
 The function of an organ is the JOB
that organ actually does.

16. Name two functions of a cell
membrane.
 The
cell membrane encloses the
cell and separates from the
environment
 The cell membrane also controls
what enters or leaves a cell
Chapter Review
17. What are the structure and
function of the cytoskeleton of the
cell?
 The
structure of the cytoskeleton
LOOKS like a web of proteins.
 The JOB or function of the
cytoskeleton is to provide support
for the cell and to help with
movement.

19. Making Comparisons: Compare and
contrast the function of the
endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi
complex.
ER
Golgi Complex
•Takes
materials from
ER and
packages them
•Series of
folded
membranes
•Makes lipids
and proteins
•Delivers items
throughout the
cell inside
passageways
•Both transport
items
throughout the
cell
•Puts items for
delivery into
sacs called
vesicles
•Can send
items out of the
cell

20. Identifying Relationships: Explain how the
structure and function of an organism’s parts
are related. Give an example.
 The
structure of an organ determines
what the function will be. The example of
the alveoli looking like a web of blood
vessels allows oxygen and carbon dioxide
to be exchanged (function).
Chapter Review
21. Evaluating Hypotheses: One of your
classmates states a hypothesis that all
organisms must have organ systems. Is your
classmate’s hypothesis valid? Explain your
answer.
 The
hypothesis is invalid because you can
have unicellular organisms that are made
of only one cell. There are no tissues,
organs or organ systems.
Chapter Review
22. Predicting Consequences: What would
happen if all of the ribosomes in your cells
disappeared?
 Ribosomes
make proteins that are
essential for the cell to function. Without
ribosomes, you would die.
Chapter Review
23. Expressing opinions: Scientists think that millions
of years ago the surface of the Earth was very
hot and that the atmosphere contained a lot
of methane. In your opinion, which type of
organism, a eubacterium or an
archaebacterium, is the older form of life?
Explain your reasoning.
 The
archaebacterium is the older
organism because it can live in
more extreme (hotter) areas and
one type actually makes methane
and might be responsible for the
high methane levels long ago.
