Quiz Biomolecules and Enzymes (12/1/24)

Question 1

What is a Prokaryotic cell?

Answer 1

A single celled organism that doesn’t have a nucleus/membrane-bound organelles

Question 2

What is a eukaryotic cell?

Answer 2

Any cell/organism that posses a clearly defined nucleus

Question 3

What are similarities between prokaryotic cells to eukaryotic cells?

Answer 3

Cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA

Question 4

What are the differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?

Answer 4

prokaryotic has no nucleus, prokaryotic has no membrane - bound organelles, Eukaryotic cells are usually larger

Question 5

What are similarities between animal cells and a plant cell?

Answer 5

Membrane-bound nucleus, which contains the DNA.
Plasma membrane or cell membrane.
Cytoplasm in which other organelles are suspended.
Nucleolus.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Ribosomes.
Mitochondrion.
Golgi bodies or Golgi apparatus

Question 6

What are the differences between animal cells and plant cells?

Answer 6

Plant cells contain a cell wall + cell membrane, animals cells only contain a cell membrane

Question 7

Which organelles are involved in protein synthesis and transport and how do they work together to accomplish this?

Answer 7

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in the synthesis of lipids and synthesis and transport of proteins. The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages different substances for secretion out of the cell, or for use within the cell

Question 8

Central Vacuole

Answer 8

Stores and regulates water (Plant only)

Question 9

Chloroplast

Answer 9

Makes food through photosynthesis (plants)

Question 10

Flagella

Answer 10

Enables movement (Animals)

Question 11

Golgi Bodies/ Complex

Answer 11

Stores/ships protein (Animal and Plants)

Question 12

Lysosome

Answer 12

Removes unwanted material + waste (Animals)

Question 13

Centrioles

Answer 13

organizing microtubules that serve as the cell’s skeletal system (Animal)

Question 14

Mitochondria

Answer 14

Makes energy (Animal and Plants)

Question 15

Nucleolus

Answer 15

Makes ribosomes (Animal and Plants)

Question 16

Nuclear Membrane

Answer 16

Acts as a barrier that separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm (Animal and Plants)

Question 17

Ribosome

Answer 17

Makes protein (Animal and Plants)

Question 18

Cell Wall

Answer 18

separates the interior contents of the cell from the exterior environment (Plants)

Question 19

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 19

Detoxifies the cell + make lipids (Animal and Plants)

Question 20

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 20

produces proteins for the rest of the cell to function (Animal and Plants)

Question 21

Vacuole

Answer 21

help sequester waste products (Animal and Plants)

Question 22

Cytoplasm

Answer 22

provides a platform upon which other organelles can operate within the cell (Animal and Plants)

Question 23

Cell/Plasma Membrane

Answer 23

provides protection for a cell (Animal and Plants)

Question 24

What are cells?

Answer 24

The basic building building blocks of life
