Cells have similar characteristics as living things. For example, vacuoles in a plant cell function to store water, and similarly, the gall bladder in animals stores bile. Which of the following pair structures DO NOT have similar functions?
small intestine, endoplasmic reticulum
brain, nucleus
epidermis, cell membrane
stomach, mitochondrion
Which of the following statements accurately represents the differences in plant and animal cells?
only animal cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a vacuole
only plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a vacuole
only animal cells have a cell membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm
only plant cells have a cell membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm
Which system of the human body has a function similar to that of a vacuole inside a cell?
circulatory
digestive
respiratory
nervous
Early Romans discovered that objects could be magnified through the construction and shaping of glass. For the past thousand years, this discovery has led to the construction and design of modern day microscopes. The development of the microscope was used in the 17th and 18th centuries to observe cells and eventually develop "cell theory". Which of the following is the most basic explanation of "cell theory"?
every object in the universe is made of cells
cells are made from atoms during chemical reactions
all living things are made of cells
all cells are identical
The integumentary system is composed of hair, skin, and nails. Its function is to protect the body from the external environment. Which animal cell organelle has similar function?
cell membrane
nucleus
mitochondria
ribosome
Which cell organelle has the function of taking in nutrients, breaking them down, and creating energy for the cell?
nucleus
ribsome
endoplasmic reticulum
mitochondria
In 1838 botanist Matthias Schleiden determined that all plants are composed of cells. In 1839 anatomist Theodor Schwann proposed that all animals are composed of observations and proposed that all living things are composed of cells. Which statement is also part of Virchow's cell theory?
all cells have a cell wall
all cells arise from pre-existing cells
all cells are capable of photosynthesis
all cells can develop into any other type of cell
Which of the following do all living organisms have in common?
They all have cells that are held up by cell walls
They all have cells.
They all have the same way to get water and food into their cells.
They all have special cells that can do many different things.
Which of the following are only found in animal cells?
lysosomes
ribosomes
mitochondria
chloroplasts
Cells store waste in
