  • Q8

    It has been proposed that mitochondria and chloroplasts are modern descendants of early prokaryotic cells that began to reside and gradually evolve within primitive cells. Which statement supports this view? 

    mitochondria and chloroplasts cannot conduct protein synthesis

    mitochondria and chloroplasts are found in all modern prokaryotic cells

    prokaryotic cells, mitochondria, and chloroplasts are void of any DNA

    mitochondria and chloroplasts both have prokaryotic ribosomes

  • Q9

    A simplified model of a plant cell is shown here. The cell, as it is shown here, would be unable to perform which cellular process due to a missing organelle?

    Question Image

    The cell would not be able to regulate water storage without the vacuole, which is missing.

    The cell would not be able to perform cellular respiration without the mitochondria, which are missing.

    The cell would not be able to perform photosynthesis without the chloroplast, which is missing

    The cell would not be able to replicate its DNA without the nucleus, which is missing.

  • Q11

     out their mission of serving meals to students every day, school cafeterias perform some of the same functions that cells do. Delivery trucks bring milk, bread, vegetables, and other raw materials to the cafeteria. Cooks combine the delivered food into different meals for students to eat.  Students empty uneaten food and other wastes into trash cans for storage until the wastes can be removed.  

    Which combination of cell structures BEST compare in their functions to the activities of the school cafeteria in their use of delivery trucks, cooks, and trash cans?                           

    cell membrane, cytoplasm, lysosome

    lysosome, mitochondria, nucleus   

    cell membrane, mitochondria, cell wall

    cell wall, chloroplast, mitochondria

  • Q12

    A diagram of an animal cell is shown with several parts labeled as A, B, C, and D.

    Which statement BEST compares the functions of Parts C and D?

    Question Image

    Part C makes new proteins while Part D breaks down old proteins and organelles.

    Part C regulates transport into and out of the cell while Part D provides structural support.

    Part C contains the cell's genetic information that Part D then uses to make proteins.

    Part C uses light energy to make glucose that Part D then breaks down to make ATP.

  • Q13

    What process must cells undergo prior to division?

    For cells to divide, they must obtain nutrients to grow and manufacture necessary materials.

    For cells to divide, they must obtain nutrients to grow and then mate with another cell.

    For cells to divide, they must decrease in size and manufacture necessary materials.

    For cells to divide, they must obtain nutrients to grow.
