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.
