When you have completed the quiz, your score will appear here--->
The jobs of breaking materials down to convert energy, transporting energy, and building proteins are done by the _____ of the cell.
Organelles
Vacuoles
Endoplasmic reticulum
Nucleus
Yeast is unicellular fungus used to help rise or leaven baked goods. Which stage of baking bread is yeast likely to be most?
In warm moist dough
In the oven while baking
Once the bread is baked and cooled
In its storage canister (in dry form)
How is yeast able to help rise or leaven bread?
One of yeast's waste products is carbon dioxide, a gas
Yeast consumes all the flour and converts it to sugars
Yeast kills contaminants in the dough
Yeast transports ingredients to help distribute them evenly
Sugar cane stalks are rich in natural stored sugars. What organelle in this plant is responsible for creating these sugars?
Chloroplast
Nucleus
Cell wall
Vacuole
Imagine that you have just eaten a delicious supper. Which organelle in your cells will soon be busy breaking down the carbohydrates in that meal into energy your body can use?
Mitochondria
Chloroplast
Golgi apparatus
Ribosome
Special cells that line your stomach secrete an enzyme, called pepsin, which breaks down food proteins. Pepsin, like all enzymes, is a protein itself. Which organelle in stomach lining cells processes and secretes pepsin?
Golgi apparatus
Lysosome
Nucleus
Endoplasmic reticulum
These organelles contain digestive enzymes that can digest anything from worn-out organelles and food particles to viruses and bacteria. They usually work by fusing with vacuoles and dispensing their enzymes into them to digest their contents. What are they?
Lysosomes
Ribosomes
Mitochondria
Chloroplasts
Below is a diagram of which cellular process?
Division
Respiration
Growth
Digestion
Which process happens first during cell division?
The nucleus divides
The cell membrane pinches in two
The organelles become dormant
The cytoplasm divides
The following statement describes which cell process?
When normal cells become too crowded or the genetic information in their nuclei is damaged, they stop this process. Cancer cells continue to do this and this leads to the formation of abnormal masses of tissue called tumors.
