| 1 |  |  A feature that distinguishes plant cells from animal cells is |
|  | A) | plant cells have a cell membrane and animal cells do not. |
|  | B) | animal cells perform cellular respiration and plant cells do not. |
|  | C) | animal cells do not have a cell wall and plant cells do. |
|  | D) | plant cells do not have chloroplasts and animal cells do. |
|
|
 |
| 2 |  |  Animal cells use their chloroplasts to |
|  | A) | capture the energy of sunlight to make sugars. |
|  | B) | This is a trick question. Only fungi and some protists contain chloroplasts. |
|  | C) | This is a trick question. Animal cells do not contain chloroplasts. |
|  | D) | This is a trick question. Only bacteria contain chloroplasts. |
|
|
 |
| 3 |  |  The cell structure that separates the internal environment of the cell from its external environment is |
|  | A) | the cell wall. |
|  | B) | the cell membrane. |
|  | C) | the nucleus. |
|  | D) | the cytoplasm. |
|
|
 |
| 4 |  |  The cell membrane is selectively permeable. This means that |
|  | A) | some molecules are allowed pass through it, but other molecules are not. |
|  | B) | certain substances are allowed to pass through it without assistance. |
|  | C) | most substances are allowed to pass through it with the aid of various cell structures. |
|  | D) | it will burst if the concentration of solutes outside the cell is greater than the concentration of solutes inside the cell. |
|
|
 |
| 5 |  |  The difference in concentration of a substance between two areas is called |
|  | A) | a concentration equilibrium. |
|  | B) | diffusion. |
|  | C) | osmosis. |
|  | D) | a concentration gradient. |
|
|
 |
| 6 |  |  Osmosis is a passive process (one that does not require energy from a cells) because |
|  | A) | the cell membrane is impermeable to water molecules, so it cannot prevent the movement of water. |
|  | B) | the cell membrane is permeable to water molecules, so it cannot prevent the movement of water. |
|  | C) | it moves against its concentration gradient. |
|  | D) | it is the same as diffusion. |
|
|
 |
| 7 |  |  Channel proteins and carrier proteins are important to the movement of substances in cells because |
|  | A) | they assist in the diffusion of certain substances into and out of cells. |
|  | B) | they are required for endocytosis. |
|  | C) | they permit the cell to perform photosynthesis. |
|  | D) | they help to move certain substances against their concentration gradient. |
|
|
 |
| 8 |  |  Diffusion does not require energy from the cell because |
|  | A) | it moves substances against their concentration gradient. |
|  | B) | it occurs in both the presence and the absence of sunlight. |
|  | C) | it is a spontaneous process in which molecules move down their concentration gradient. |
|  | D) | molecules of ATP are synthesized outside of the cell. |
|
|
 |
| 9 |  |  The cells of these organisms are all eukaryotic. |
|  | A) | bacteria, plants, and fungi |
|  | B) | plants, animals, and archaea |
|  | C) | plants, animals, and fungi |
|  | D) | plants, animals, and bacteria |
|
|
 |
| 10 |  |  The organelle most closely associated with cellular respiration is |
|  | A) | the nucleus. |
|  | B) | the cell membrane. |
|  | C) | the chloroplast. |
|  | D) | the mitochondrion. |
