Which type of cell is pictured above?
Which numbered part of the plant cell shown above is a liquid-like substance that fills the cell?
![]()
A student prepared four different blood cell suspensions, as shown in the chart below.

Note: Distilled water is water that has been boiled until it completely vaporizes, after which the water vapor is condensed back to liquid water. Distilled water is free from all organic and inorganic impurities and microorganisms, as they are completely removed during distillation. However, tap water contains high concentrations of ions, minerals, and other solutes.
Which of the solutions is MOST likely to cause the red blood cell to swell?
Match the organelle structure with their function
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Cell wall | arrow_right_alt | Contains digestive enzymes to break down harmful substances |
Chloroplast | arrow_right_alt | Organelle that hugs the nucleus and has ribosomes attached to it. |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | arrow_right_alt | Serves as a semi-permeable boundary between the cell and its environment. |
Lysosome | arrow_right_alt | Organelle in plants that uses light energy to make glucose in a process called photosynthesis. |
Cell membrane | arrow_right_alt | Firm, fairly rigid structure found outside of plants for support. |
Refer to the picture below of the cell membrane. Certain molecules must travel through this structure when they are large and/or polar. Which macromolecule makes up the blue "channel" shown?
![]()
Cells that use a great amount of energy usually contain numerous ________ because it's the organelle that helps generate more ATP (energy).
As part of a science class, a group of students went on a field trip to a nearby pond where they collected samples of pond water and a sample of a pond plant. The students used a microscope to study the cells within their samples and also a sample of their own cheek cells. Their observations are recorded in the table below.
According to the table, which pond organism was an animal?
If the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed, what effect would this most likely have on the cell?
A cell membrane is composed of a double layer of lipids in which many kinds of proteins are embedded. Many of these proteins act like gates, allowing only certain particles to enter or leave the cell.
When a particle has to go against its concentration gradient through one of these gates, energy is supplied by the cell to the correct protein to move the particle through the membrane. A sodium‐potassium ion pump is an example of a type of carrier protein that uses a large portion of the cell’s energy to move sodium ions through the cell membrane.
The sodium‐potassium ion pump found in some cell membranes is made of which of the following basic structural components?
The illustration above shows a cell and a large particle. Many substances, such as proteins and polysaccharides, are too large to be transported into a cell by carrier proteins. In a process called endocytosis, the large particle is brought into the cell. Which of the following statements correctly summarizes this process?
The arrows in the diagrams represent the direction of movement of a certain type of molecule through the cell membrane of two different cells. The dots represent the relative concentrations of this molecule. Which processes are illustrated in the diagrams?
Cell A represents
Cell B represents
An osmosis investigation was conducted using chicken eggs to represent cells with semipermeable membranes. The mass of each egg was measured to determine how much water diffused into or out of the eggs. The eggs were first soaked in vinegar to dissolve the shell. Each egg was then placed in one of three different solutions for 24 hours. The table below shows the results of the investigation.
Based on this experiment, which of the following should be inferred about cells with semipermeable membranes?
A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will
Prokaryote | Eukaryote | Both | |
|---|---|---|---|
has genetic material (DNA) | |||
Nucleus | |||
Ribosomes | |||

A lab technician needs to determine whether the contents inside a test tube include cells with a membrane. The technician has several dyes she could use to stain the cells. Four of the dyes are described in the table above. Which dye could the technician use to determine if the cells have a cell membrane?
Cells may have different shapes and different amounts of organelles, depending on their function. Which features do plant cells have that animal cells lack?
