General Biology 1 Diagnostic Test

Which organelle breaks down organelles that are no longer useful?

• Golgi body   

• Lysosome

• Endoplasmic reticulum

• Mitochondrion

Which structure makes proteins using coded instructions that come from the nucleus?

• Golgi body   

• Mitochondrion

• vacuole

• Ribosome

The most important feature within the structure of the cell membrane which helps it in carrying its

task is

• viscous fluid flowing around it

• series of fibers within it

• semi-permeable phospholipid bilayer

• paired genetic materials within it

Its structure is basically thick and rigid layer that surrounds the plant cell and provides support and structure.

• Chloroplast

• Cell wall      

• Lysosome

• nucleus

The best feature of this organelle is its energy producing ability

• Cytoplasm

• Cell wall

• Mitochondria

• Golgi body

What role(s) does the cytoskeleton play in a living cell?

• Maintaining cell shape

• Movement

• Contraction

• All of the above

This organelle serves as a primary packaging area for molecules that will be distributed throughout the cell?

• Mitochondrion

• Vacuole

• Cytoskeleton

• Golgi body

What is the term for the jellylike substance that is contained inside the cell membrane?

• DNA

• cytoplasm

• organelle

• Nucleus

If the cell membrane is NOT semi-permeable membrane, how would it affect the whole cell?

• the cell will be so much healthy for the entry of nutrients

• the cell will increase its size too much

• the cell will be damaged by the entry of harmful substances.

• the cell will lose its receptors.

This organelle is unique to a plant cell

• ribosomes

• vacuoles

• chloroplast

• centrosomes
