The movement of molecules from a crowded area (high concentration) to a less crowded (low concentration) area is called?
a) Diffusion
b) Osmosis
c) Active Transport
d) Fermentation

What is the function of golgi bodies AKA golgi apparatus?
a) It moves substances from one organelle to another.
b) It makes proteins that are needed for growth and other life processes.
c) It is the clean up crew for the cell. It breaks down and recycles unhealthy cell parts.
d) It is the post office of the cell. It packages and distributes proteins and other materials to other parts of the cell.

What organelle has the shape of a kidney bean with squiggles in the middle?
a) Lysosome
b) Vacuole
c) Mitochondria
d) Endoplasmic Reticulum

You and your lab partner are looking at yeast in a microscope. You notice that the yeast is budding and it seems to be moving around. Your lab partner thinks it's alive and you think it is nonliving... who is right and why?
a) Neither. There is not enough information to conclude if it is living or nonliving. All 8 characteristics must be present.
b) Your lab partner is correct because it is budding which is a type of asexual reproduction which is a characteristic of life.
c) You are, you are always right.
d) Both of you are correct. Yeast is both a living and nonliving thing.

What is the organelle that acts as the cells storage bin? It stores things like food and water.
a) Lysosome
b) Vacuoles
c) Ribosomes
d) Golgi bodies

The roots of a plant grow toward a source of groundwater. Identify the characteristic of life that is illustrated in the example.
a) All living things have the ability to move.
b) All living things have the ability to respond to a stimuli to maintain homeostasis.
c) All living things excrete.
d) All living things adapt and evolve.

What is the correct order of the levels of organization of organisms? (From simplest to most complex).
a) Organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cells.
b) Cells, tissue, organ systems, organ, organism.
c) tissue, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism.
d) Organelles, cells, tissues, organ, organs systems, organism.

What is the function of the mitochondria?
a) It is the post office of the cell. It packages and distributes proteins and other materials to other parts of the cell.
b) It is the powerhouse of the cell. It releases energy for the cell to use to carry out life processes.
c) It is the clean up crew of the cell. It breaks down and recycles unhealthy cell parts.
d) It moves substance from one organelle to another.

How can you tell the difference between a plant cell and an animal cell?
a) Plant cells are rectangular and animal are roundish.
b) Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplast, chlorophyll and one large central vacuole. (Animal cells have many small vacuoles)
c) Animal cells can't make their own food and plant cells can through a process called photosynthesis.
d) All the choices are correct.

An adult hydra (plant) is producing its offspring through budding. Identify the characteristic of life that is illustrated in the statement.
a) All living things respire (use and obtain energy).
b) All living things have cells.
c) All living things have the ability to reproduce.
d) All living things grow and develop.

Green plants produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Identify the characteristic of life that this example illustrates.
a) All living things respond to stimuli to maintain homeostasis.
b) All living things excrete.
c) All living things have cells.
d) All living things have the ability to use or obtain energy (respire).

Plant cells have the 3C's that make them different from animal cells what are they?
a) Cytoplasm, Cell Membrane, Cell Wall
b) Chloroplast, Cell Wall, Cytoplasm
c) Chlorophyll, Cell Wall and Chloroplast
d) Cell Wall, Chlorophyll, Cytoplasm

a) Respire or obtain and use energy.
b) All living things have cells.
c) All living things excrete.
d) All living things respond to stimuli (maintain homeostasis).

What does the cell membrane do for the cell?
a) Supports and gives shape to the cell, protects the inside of the cell, controls materials in and out of the cell.
b) Storage unit for the cell. Stores water, food and waste.
c) Supports the cell by making food for the cell.
d) Supports and gives shape to the cell, protects the inside of the cell and controls DNA.
