If a cell inside of an organism were unable to exchange food, water, and other materials with its environment, what would happen to it?

It would not be able to survive.

A student is comparing the functions of plant and animal cells using the diagram shown here. The student listed the following statements in the area labeled X: • Cell division • Acquire and take food from the environment • Response to stimuli • Elimination of waste Which of the following statements is a misconception the student may have?

Acquire and take food from the environment should only be listed under animal cells because plant cells can make their own food.

Response to stimuli should only be under animal cells because plant cells are unable to move.

Elimination of waste should only be listed under animal cells only because plant cells recycle their waste.

Two types of models that can be used to show details of the structures of cells are shown here. Which of the following describes a limitation of the drawing but NOT the clay model?

It cannot represent a living cell since a true cell is three-dimensional.

It does not represent the main parts of a cell.

It does not contain the correct number of nuclei.

Many cellular processes are performed by cells. A typical cell and a common process is shown in the diagram here. Which of the following is the best reason this cell is going through the process shown?

to maintain homeostasis of the cell

All living cells use similar processes to maintain homeostasis. Which statement explains how homeostasis is maintained by cell membranes?

Cell membranes keep the liquid volume inside the cell at a constant level.

Cell membranes divide to make new cells.

Cell membranes form organelles with other cells that are nearby.

Why are chloroplasts found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

Plant cells need rigid support.

Plant cells need to store food and water.

A student is investigating the differences between the structures of plant and animal cells. She plans to view prepared slides of plant and animal tissues under a high-powered microscope. Which of the following is the best way for the student to collect data for this investigation?

make sketches and write down the name of each tissue sample and the magnification power used to view it

make a bar graph based on the details observed

poll classmates to see which type of cell is more popular and put the data into a chart

Which of the following statements best compares vacuoles in plant and animal cells?

Plants cells have a large central vacuole and animal cells have many smaller vacuoles.

Only plant cells have vacuoles.

Both plant and animal cells have a large central vacuole.

A student creates a list with two groups. Group A lists the cell wall and cell membrane. Group B lists the mitochondria and chloroplasts. What are the two groups that this student is most likely organizing these organelles into?

"organelles that protect" and "organelles that use energy"

"plant organelles" and "animal organelles"

"organelles with proteins" and "organelles with sugars"

Serena places a slide containing plant cells under a microscope. She observes some differences between the plant cell and cells she gathered from the inside of her cheek. Which statements best describe the differences she might observe between these two cells?

Serena's cheek cells are animal cells, which lack the cell wall and chloroplasts found in the plant cell she is observing.

Serena's cheek cells are eukaryotic, which means they have a nucleus, unlike the plant cell.

Serena's cheek cells are prokaryotic, which means they lack the nucleus that the plant cells have.

How can you tell if a cell is prokaryotic?

Determine if the cell contains internal membranes.

Look for the presence or absence of a rigid cell wall.

See the presence or absence of ribosomes.

Sponges live their lives attached to the sea floor or onto rocks that are under water. They have no organs, so they feed by allowing nutrient-rich water to flow through them. Based on the diagram of a sponge cell, what best explains if sponges are considered animals or plants?

Their cells do not have cell walls, so they must be animals.

Their cells do not have mitochondria, so they must be plants.

Their cells do not have a nucleus, so they must be plants.

Their cells do have vacuoles, so they must be animals.

Your science teacher asks you to build a model of a cell. The model should look like a city, and buildings in the city should represent parts of a typical cell. Each building's real-life function should be like the function of the organelle it represents. For example, the vacuole of a cell, which stores water, could be a water tower in your cell city model. Explain which building should represent the nucleus.

the factory, to manufacture materials for the cell to use.

city hall, the control center of the cell.

power plant, provides energy for the cell.
