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.

What is the function of the mitochondria?

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

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

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.
