All living things are made up of one or more cells.
The number of cells in all living things is the same.
There is one kind of cell of which all living things are made
- 2. Multiple Choice
Which of the following statements is TRUE about cells?
Cells are made up of smaller living things, called organelles.
For something to be alive, it must be made of many cells.
Cells are the smallest unit that can be considered alive.
Only groups of cells that function together are actually alive.
- 3. Multiple Choice
What sort of evidence must be gathered to support the idea that all living things are composed of cells?
Comparisons should be made between non-living things and living things to determine any similarities in their structure.
Samples of many kinds of living things should be examined under a microscope to identify the presence of cells.
The functions of cells from many different living things should be monitored to see if they are identical.
Non-living things should be examined to verify that the smaller parts of which they are composed are not cells.
- 4. Multiple Choice
Students conducted an investigation to provide evidence to support the idea that a tree is made up of different kinds of cells. Which of the following provides evidence which would support this idea?
Samples taken from different parts of any tree all contained cells
Cells from different parts of a single tree had varying structures and functions.
Cells collected from one tree were different than cells collected from another tree
One cell collected from a single tree was made up of several different parts.
- 5. Multiple Choice
Students examined the smaller structures of living things and non-living things. Which of the following observations provides evidence that the smaller parts of living things, and not the non-living things, are cells? Smaller parts of living things -
are tightly packed together with almost no space between them.
carry out functions that sustain life such as respiration.
are uniform in size and structure.
cannot be seen with the unaided eye but require a microscope.
- 6. Multiple Choice
The structure of the cell membrane contributes to the overall function of the cell in what way?
It holds organelles in place
It contains small openings that can store water the cell needs to survive.
It carries signals from one cell to the next, allowing cells to work together.
It allows for the passage of certain substances into and out of the cell.
- 7. Multiple Choice
The various different parts of a cell, called organelles, are beneficial to the cell in what way?
The parts require nutrients in order to work properly.
The various organelles increase the energy used by the cell.
The functions of the cells are controlled by genes.
Each part performs a unique and necessary function.
- 8. Multiple Choice
In plant cells, how are chloroplasts and mitochondria related?
Chloroplasts manufacture food; mitochondria break down the food and convert it into energy.
Chloroplasts package nutrients; mitochondria deliver the nutrients to other parts of the cell.
Chloroplasts absorb water from the surrounding tissue; mitochondria store water.
Chloroplasts direct the functions of the cell; mitochondria deliver messages to all parts of the cell.
- 9. Multiple Choice
