| Which statement correctly pairs the organelle with its function? | The plasma membrane controls the flow of materials into the cell |
| Which structure contains ATP producing enzymes? | Structure 3 |
| Which of the following is not part of the cell theory? | All cells contain the same organelles |
| The maximum size of a cell is determined by the ratio of the cell’s | surface area to volume |
| Which of the following enables plants to make sugar from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight? | Structure 6 |
| Which structure is not present in all organisms? | a cell wall |
| What function do these organ systems in the fish perform together? | exchanging gases |
| Alveoli are microscopic air sacs in the lungs of mammals. Which statement BEST describes how the structure of alveoli allows lungs to function properly? | They increase the surface areas of the lungs, allowing efficient gas exchange |
| Which sequence is arranged from simplest to most complex? | squamous cell --> epithelial tissue --> skin --> integumentary system --> human |
| Which characteristic is shared by all prokaryotes and eukaryotes? | Ability to store hereditary information |
| Use the lists below to answer the question. A student made lists of structures observed in cells from two different organisms. Which statement describes the most likely difference in the way that organism 1 and organism 2 obtain energy? | Only organism 1 uses solar energy to make energy-rich compounds |
| The discovery of cells is linked most directly with | the development of the microscope |
| Living organisms can be classified as prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Which two structures are common to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? | Plasma membrane and cytoplasm |
| How do cells of a colonial organism differ from cells of a multicellular organism? | Cells in a multicellular organism communicate with one another but cells in a colonial organism do not |
