- Q1Which of the following is characteristic of prokaryotes?They have a nucleusThe organelles in the cytoplasm are surrounded by membranesNone of the aboveThey existed on Earth before eukaryotes45s
- Q2Which organelles allow plants t support heavy structures such as leaves and flowers?the chloroplasts because they convert sunlight into chemical energythe cell membranes because they regulate what enters and leaves the cellthe Golgi Apparatus because it packages proteins for storage in the cellsthe vacuoles because they are filled with fluid, which provide rigidity45s
- Q3Only eukaryotic cells havecytoplasmDNAribosomesmembrane-bound organelles45s
- Q4Proteins made for membranes and external processes are made at theCytoplasmNucleusGolgo ApparatusRough Endoplasmic Reticulum45s
- Q5In this image, which number points to the organelle that packages proteins so they can be stored or transported?457345s
- Q6What type of biological molecules are found in the plasma membrane?carbohydrates and nucleic acidslipids and carbohydrateslipids and proteinsnucleic acids and lipids45s
- Q7When making energy, the mitochondria will use glucose and oxygen. What type of biological molecule is made from glucose monomers?ProteinsCarbohydratesNucleic AcidsLipids45s
- Q8Why does the study of cell membranes lead to a better understanding of cell function?All cell functions occur in the cell membrane.All energy transfers occur at the cell membrane.All cell membranes contain the information for making proteins.All materials needed for cell functions must pass through the cell membrane.45s
- Q9Which one is NOT a part of cell theory?All living things are made up of one or more cellsAll cells contain a nucleus and organellesCells are the basic unit of lifeAll cells came from a pre-existing cell45s
- Q10Which of the following best summarizes why the technological invention of microscopes was important to biology?It proved that cells could form spontaneouslyIt allowed for development of the cell theory.It created public interest and support for researchIt created a means of funding for cell research45s
- Q11Ashley wants to see the microscopic details on the back leg of a honeybee. Which type of microscope would she use?Transmission Electron MicroscopeLight MicroscopeScanning Electron MicroscopeCompound Microscope45s
- Q12Which of the following best describes the difference between the functions of nucleic acids and enzymes?Nucleic acids inhibit biochemical reactions, while enzymes provide structural support in cells.Nucleic acids transmit signals that begin biochemical processes, while enzymes convert carbohydrates into lipids and proteinsNucleic acids contain genetic codes for protein synthesis, while enzymes catalyze chemical reactionsNucleic acids are used as monomers of proteins, while enzymes are used as the building blocks of phospholipids120s
