Cell Biology Quiz

What is the basic unit of life?

• atom

• organism

• cell

• molecule

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell

• Regulates the cell's temperature

• Provides energy to the cell

• Stores genetic information

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

• Control center of the cell

• Energy production in the cell

• Storage of waste materials

• Transportation of nutrients within the cell

What are the differences between plant and animal cells?

• Presence of cell wall, chloroplasts, and cell shape

• Similarities in structure, function, and organelles

• Absence of cytoplasm, vacuole, and endoplasmic reticulum

• Presence of mitochondria, nucleus, and cell membrane

Explain the process of photosynthesis in plant cells.

• Plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen.

• Plants use water, nitrogen, and oxygen to produce sunlight and carbon dioxide.

• Plants use sunlight, oxygen, and water to produce carbon dioxide and glucose.

• Plants use moonlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and nitrogen.

What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?

• Regulates cell growth

• Stores genetic information

• Produces energy through cellular respiration

• Produces oxygen for the cell

Describe the structure and function of the endoplasmic reticulum.

• The endoplasmic reticulum is only found in plant cells.

• The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, as well as the transport of these molecules within the cell.

• The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for energy production in the cell.

• The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in waste removal from the cell.

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Presence or absence of nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

• Number of chromosomes

• Color of the cell membrane

• Size of the cells

Explain the process of cell division.

• Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.

• Cell division is the process of a cell shrinking in size and becoming inactive.

• Cell division is the process of a cell combining with another cell to form a larger cell.

• Cell division is the process of a cell turning into a completely different type of cell.

What are the different types of cells in the human body and their functions?

• Red blood cells, white blood cells, nerve cells, muscle cells, and skin cells with their specific functions.

• Bone cells, hair cells, nail cells, tooth cells, and eye cells with their specific functions.

• Heart cells, lung cells, liver cells, kidney cells, and stomach cells with their specific functions.

• Blue blood cells, yellow blood cells, green blood cells, purple blood cells, and orange blood cells with their specific functions.
