Which structures would most convincingly indicate that a cell is a eukaryote and not a prokaryote?
Ribosomes in a cell are malfunctioning. Predict which cell functions would decline first.
protein synthesis
Insulin is a protein that is produced by certain cells and secreted into the bloodstream. Which organelle is responsible for packaging insulin before delivery out of a cell?
Golgi Bodies
If an animal cell lacks centrosomes, which activity would be greatly affected?
A. Protein synthesis
B. Cellular respiration
C. Cell division
D. Vesicle transport
C. Cell division
If a prokaryotic cell suddenly gained a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, which cellular process would most likely stay the same?
A. Transcription
B. ATP production
C. Translation
D. Photosynthesis
C. Translation
Which of the following functions is NOT a duty done by lysosomes?
A. digest waste products
B. detoxification of alcohol or drugs
C. breakdown of large food molecules
D. protect the cell from unwanted substance
B. detoxification of alcohol or drugs
Cyanide binds to at least one molecule involved in producing ATP. If a cell is exposed to cyanide, which cell part would contain most of the cyanide?
mitochondria
How do the vacuoles in plant cells differ in function from vesicles in animal cells?
Plant vacuoles are large, central, and maintain turgor pressure, whereas animal vesicles are smaller and mainly transport materials within the cell.
Which of the following statements is a distinguishing characteristic of prokaryotic cells?
A. They have larger ribosomes.
B. They lack a plasma membrane.
C. They have cell walls containing peptidoglycan.
D. They have a linear DNA associated with proteins to form chromatin.
C. They have cell walls containing peptidoglycan.
Which of the following relationships between cell structure and their respective function is CORRECT?
A. smooth ER: formation of ATP
B. chromatin: cytoskeleton of the nucleus
C. centrioles: chief sites of cellular respiration
D. nucleolus: production of ribosomal subunit
D. nucleolus: production of ribosomal subunit
A plant cell cannot maintain its shape after water loss. Which structure is likely compromised?

I. absence of centrioles
II. presence of large central vacuole
III. presence of cell wall
IV. presence of vacuoles
V. absence of chloroplast
IV and V
Using a microscope in the science lab, Jill observed two unknown cells with the label: Cell A and Cell B. She identified Cell A as a bacterial and Cell B as a plant cell. Her teacher told her that she is correct in the identification of the cells. What did Jill most likely observe to correctly identify the cells?
A. Cell A had a cell membrane and Cell B did not.
B. Cell A had a cell wall and Cell B did not.
C. Cell B had a chloroplast and Cell A did not.
D. Cell B had cytoplasm and Cell A did not.
C. Cell B had a chloroplast and Cell A did not.
Which cell process will be greatly affected if nucleus is damaged?
A. transcription
B. translation
C. protein synthesis
D. photosynthesis
A. transcription
Give the correct sequence of organelles that insulin passes through from its synthesis inside the cell to its secretion outside the cell.
Nucleus → Ribosome → Rough ER → Golgi Apparatus → Cell Membrane
Compare the chemical composition of the cell wall in plant cells and fungal cells.
Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, while fungal cell walls are made of chitin.

B. (1) ribosomes; (2) mitochondria
C. (1) cell membrane; (2) chloroplast
D. (1) cytoplasm; (2) centrosome
B. (1) ribosomes; (2) mitochondria
