Cells/Protists Unit Review

Which single-celled organisms move using flagella?

• euglena and volvox

• volvox and amoeba

• euglena and paramecium

• paramecium and amoeba

What is the purpose of the eyespot in a euglena?

• to produce light that the euglena will use to create food through photosynthesis

• to sense light that the euglena will use to create food through photosynthesis

• to surround and trap particles that the euglena will eat as food

• to remove waste particles after the euglena has eaten food

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• ribosome

• vacuole

How should an amoeba be classified?

• as an autotroph only, because the amoeba only uses photosynthesis to make food

• as a heterotroph only, because the amoeba only obtains food from its environment

• as both an autotroph and a heterotroph, because the amoeba uses photosynthesis to make food and also obtains food from its environment

• as neither an autotroph nor a heterotroph, because the amoeba neither uses photosynthesis to make food nor obtains food from its environment

What function do the cell wall and cell membrane perform in a plant cell?

• They release energy for the cell.

• They make proteins for the cell.

• They maintain homeostasis for the cell.

• They create a protective boundary for the cell.

Which statement describes the primary function of the chloroplasts in a plant cell?

• They capture light energy from the sun and use it, along with water and oxygen, to produce sugars for food.

• They release light energy from the leaves and use it, along with water and oxygen, to produce sugars for food.

• They capture light energy from the sun and use it, along with water and carbon dioxide, to produce sugars for food.

• They release light energy from the leaves and use it, along with water and carbon dioxide, to produce sugars for food.
