U1 L2 Lesson Assessment - Cell Parts

Kara used a model of a school to represent parts of a cell and their function within the cell. Which statement describes the name and function of the cell part shown as Organelle A in the image?

• central vacuole; it’s like the central computer system where all the student records are stored

• lysosome; it’s like the dumpster where trash is kept

• mitochondria; it’s like the cafeteria where students get fuel for their energy

• golgi apparatus; it's like the hallways that allow students to move throughout the school

Keisha is trying to describe the function of DNA to her friend. She wants to use a model that has a function similar to DNA's function in a cell. Which of the following models could Keisha use to describe the function of DNA?

• a recipe with detailed instructions

• a storage tank holding waste products

• a conveyor belt transporting packages

• a window screen allowing only air to enter

A group of students is asked to make a model of a plant cell. The group is given different objects to represent cell parts. These objects include puzzle pieces, cardboard, plastic bags, and mini solar cells. Which object could be used to represent the function chloroplasts in the model?

• puzzle pieces, because they put together proteins

• cardboard, because it helps support the plant cell

• a plastic bag, because it stores water and other liquids

• mini solar cells, because they capture energy from sunlight

DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell and its job is to

• protect the cell

• store materials for later use

• make proteins for the cell to survive

• carry instructions for all of the cells life processes

Organelles are cell parts that are

• inside the cell membrane floating in the cytoplasm

• outside the cell membrane but are too large to cross

• the smallest cell parts that naturally cross the membrane

• float in the cytoplasm and are surrounded by a cell wall

How do mitochondria regulate energy in a cell?

• Mitochondria transfer energy between cells as energy is needed.

• Mitochondria convert energy in nutrients into usable energy.

• Mitochondria absorb and convert energy from the sun.

• Mitochondria convert energy from the nucleus into usable energy.

How does the chloroplast make food?

• The chloroplast converts oxygen into sugar.

• The chloroplast converts water into carbon dioxide.

• The chloroplast absorbs nutrients through a plant’s root system and converts it into sugar.

• The chloroplast uses the sun’s energy to make food (sugar) through the process of photosynthesis

A plant’s cell wall

• protects the cell from crashing into nearby cells.

• blocks all substances from entering the cell.

• protects the cell and helps the cell keep its shape.

• is the largest organelle surrounded by a membrane

Which of these accurately describes the relationship of ribosomes and proteins?

• Ribosomes are the parts of DNA that become protein cells

• Ribosomes cause chemical reactions that create proteins.

• Ribosomes are small cell structures that make proteins.

• Ribosomes are structures outside of the cell that make proteins.

Diffusion is a process that

• occurs because particles move in predictable directions.

• requires a large amount of energy for a cell to complete.

• occurs as particles pass through the cell wall in one direction.

• allows small particles to easily pass through a cell membrane.
