Cell Unit Exam Practice Quiz

Onion cells, like all plant and animal cells, have nucleus with complete membranes. Because of this, which of the following statements would best describe the type of cells they are?

• They are more evolved and complex eukaryotic cells.

• They are more evolved and complex prokaryotic cells.

• They are less evolved and simpler prokaryotic cells.

Plant cells, like onions, possess the organelles that make the stems and the leaves of the plant green in color and produce sugars for the cell using the power of the sun through a process known as photosynthesis. Which organelle is responsible for this function?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Cell Wall

• Cell Membrane

When the mRNA messages are sent out through the cell, there is one organelle that is responsible for this job. This organelle resembles (looks like) canals. The function of the organelle is to transport things around the cell. There are 2 versions of the organelle; with and without ribosomes attached to it.

• Vacuole

• Golgi apparatus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Cell Membrane

Which of the following statements best describes a semi-permeable membrane?

• A membrane that will allow all materials to pass in and out of the cell.

• A membrane that will block all materials and molecules from passing in and out of the cell.

• A membrane that allows some molecules to pass in and out of the cell, but not others.
