- Q1
Which of the functions below can be done by the endoplasmic reticulum?
destroy old cell parts
package proteins
make ribosomes
synthesis and transport of proteins
30s - Q2
Whenever animals take in sugar, this is broken down for energy to be released and the organism itself consumes it. The by-product is CO2 which is taken by the plants. In the process, energy is needed. Which organelle is of help?
Vacuole
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Golgi Apparatus
30s - Q3
A couple is told by their doctor that the reason why they cannot have children is that the sperm of the male lack motility because it does not have the structures responsible for propulsion. Which cellular structures are likely to be the underlying cause of this lack of motility?
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
Microtubules
Vacuoles
30s - Q4
A lack of water can cause plant cells to become flaccid. This gives the plant a wilt-ed appearance as shown in the figure below. Which of the following cell structures is most likely responsible for the plant’s wilted appearance?
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Ribosomes
Central vacuole
30s - Q5
Phenytoin is a prescription drug that is used to treat patients with epilepsy. A side effect of phenytoin is that it can be toxic to mitochondria. Which of the following processes will be most immediately disrupted by this side effect?
Lipid synthesis
Protein synthesis
ATP synthesis
Lysosome synthesis
30s - Q6
Cell theory states:
I. All living cells must have a cell wall.
II. All living cells require glucose for survival.
III. The basic unit of life is a cell.
II only
I and III
III only
I only
30s - Q7
Which of the following is NOT a principle of the cell theory?
All living things are made of cells
Cells are the basic units of structure and function in all living things
Cells come from pre-existing cells
All cells contain the same organelles
30s - Q8
What did Schleiden and Schwann both discover individually?
All cells have organelles.
All living things engage in metabolic functions.
All living things are composed of one or more cells.
The spontaneous generation of cells is an incorrect theory.
30s - Q9
If all cells are created by other living cells, which of the following is true?
Spontaneous generation cannot occur.
Plant cells come from other plant cells.
All of the answers are correct.
Cells divide for reproduction.
30s - Q10
Viruses infect cells and replicate themselves by utilizing various enzymes and cellular components of their host cell. Could you apply the same tenets of cell theory to viral replication?
Yes, viruses strictly adhere to cell theory because from one virus directly arises another virus.
Yes, viruses strictly adhere to cell theory because an individual virus is a singular cellular unit.
No, viruses do not strictly adhere to cell theory because viruses do not directly come from other viruses; they require an intermediate cell to replicate.
No, viruses do not strictly adhere to cell theory because they are not living organisms.
