Comparing Plant and Animal Cells - Section 1.2 Quiz
When you have completed the quiz, your score will appear here--->
Scientists decide whether an organism is a plant or animal based on
how it obtains its food or energy.
whether is it is mobile or not.
whether it is multicellular or unicellular.
how it reproduces.
The point of a ballpoint pen is about 0.2 mm across. Anything smaller than this is generally considered to be microscopic. Which pond organism below would be considered microscopic in size?
You are given an unstained slide of an unknown plant cell. Even with careful focus adjustments, you are able to make out only one large round organelle within the cell. This is most likely to be the
nucleus.
mitochondria.
Golgi apparatus.
cell wall.
Which statement about the cell wall is false?
The cell wall is rigid and prevents any materials from passing through it
The cell wall is composed of a material called cellulose
Only plant cells contain a cell wall
The cell wall, even though it is found outside the cell membrane, is still an organelle
Which statement about plant versus animal cells is true?
Both plant and animal cells make proteins
Chloroplasts are located in the endoplasmic reticulum in animal cells
Only unicellular animal cells make their own food
Only plant cells contain vacuoles because they must store sugars
Which organelle is not normally associated with protein production?
Mitochondria
Golgi apparatus
Ribosome
Endoplasmic reticulum
In addition to mitochondria, what other organelle produces energy?
Chloroplast
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Ribosome
Mitochondria are the tiny "power plants" of our bodies. Some types of cells in our bodies contain more mitochondria than other cell types because they require a great deal of energy to do their job.
Which type of cell in your body do you think would have the most mitochondria in it?
Heart cell
Fat cell
Skin cell
Bone cell
When preparing a specimen for viewing under the microscope, which procedure is usually done last?
Staining the cells
Mounting the specimen on a slide
Slicing the specimen
Obtaining the specimen
Below are four types of stains commonly used by scientists for studying cells.
Haematoxylin - stains nucleus material blue Eosin - stains elastic fibers pink Mallory's trichrome stain - stains muscle fibers red Masson's trichrome stain - stains cartilage fibers blue/green
If these stains were applied to a variety of cell samples, which stain would most likely show up under the microscope in all the different cell samples?
