Cell Structure and Function Quiz

Master cell structure and function! Take our biology quiz on organelles, prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes.

1. Which of the following organelles is not found in prokaryotic cells? Nucleus Ribosomes Cell Membrane 2. Which of the following organelles is only found in eukaryotic cells? Cytoplasm DNA Golgi Apparatus 3. Which cell type is more complex and why? Eukaryotic, they are larger and need organelles to move materials around the cell. Prokaryotic, they are larger and need organelles to move materials around the cell. Eukaryotic, they are smaller and materials can readily diffuse around the cell. Prokaryotic, they are smaller and materials can readily diffuse around the cell. 4. This organelle facilitates cellular respiration to provide ATP energy for the cell. Ribosome Mitochondria Nucleus Lysosome 5. This organelles primary function is to sort, package, and transport materials around the cell. Smooth E.R. Rough E.R. Golgi Apparatus 6. Which cell type encompases all single celled organisms? Ex. bacteria, archaea Eukaryotic Cells Prokaryotic Cells 7. Which organelle is only found in plant cells? Nucleus Chloroplast Ribosome 8. The _ is where most proteins in the cell are made due to the high concentration of ribosomes on its surface. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Apparatus Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum 9. Hereditary genetic material (DNA) is contained within this organelle. Mitochondria Cytoplasm Nucleus 10. This organelle is responsible for destroying and recycling worn-out cell parts. Vacuole Lysosome Ribosome 11. This organelle controls what enters and exits the cell. Cytoplasm Smooth E.R. Cell Membrane 12. Which organelle produces all of the proteins in your cells? Mitochondria Ribosomes Cell Membrane 13. This organelle is responsible for the production of the lipids that make up the phospholipid bilayer. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Nucleolus 14. Located within the nucleus, it is responsible for the production of ribosomes. Nucleolus Lysosome Mitochondria 15. This organelle is the location of photosynthesis in plants. Cell Wall Chloroplast Mitochondria 16. Which of the following is a "pro" for eukaryotic cells? lack of a true nucleus means cell replication can occur swiftly can engulf or repel bacterial attack small size means less energy is needed to perform cell functions 17. In plant cells, this organelle not only acts as a storage area but also creates turgor pressure to help the cell wall stay rigid and keep the plant from wilting. Lysosome Chloroplast Central Vacuole 18. Which of the following a "pro" of prokaryotic cells? the single cell is the entire organism; if it is damaged the organism will die lack of a true nucleus means cell replication can occur swiftly ability to facilitate a larger organism so the death of a cell does not mean the death of the entire organism 19.
