Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which organelles, also known as the 'powerhouses of the cell', produce energy through cellular respiration?

Answer: Mitochondria

Mitochondria are organelles with two membranes. The inner membrane folds in many layers called the cristae. Mitochondria are present in both animal and plant cells.

2. Which organelle, present in the epithelium, also helps some single-celled organisms move around?

Answer: Cilia

Flagella also help single-celled organisms move around, but they are not present in the epithelium. The singular form for cilia is cilium.

3. What is the site of ribosome synthesis? This organelle is also inside the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.

Answer: Nucleolus

Ribosomes help synthesize proteins, and the nucleolus synthesizes ribosomes in eukaryotic cells - cells with a nuclear envelope. The nucleolus is the largest part of the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

4. Animal cells have large vacuoles that can take up up to 80% of the cell.

Answer: False

Only plant cells contain large vacuoles. They take up anywhere from 30% to 80% of the cell. Vacuoles can hold nutrients, waste products, or anything else the cell needs to store.

5. Which cell organelle 'digests' old cell parts and breaks down large particles?

Answer: Lysosomes

Lysosomes are basically bags of enzymes, and the enzymes break down the particles. Lysosomes are more common in animal cells.

6. What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum covered in?

Answer: Ribosomes

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in synthesizing and folding proteins. It is attached to the nuclear envelope in eukaryotic cells, allowing molecules to pass through from the nucleus to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

7. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.

Answer: True

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to convert light energy into sugars the plant can use for energy. Chloroplasts are only present in plant cells. Chloroplasts consist of two membranes and stacks of tissue called thylakoids.

8. What is the jelly-like substance that fills up the cell and contains extra parts for cell function?

Answer: Cytoplasm

All the contents of the cell are contained in the cytoplasm, where extra parts like nitrogenous bases are kept.

9. Only plant cells have a cellulose-containing cell wall.

Answer: True

Bacteria also tend to have a cell wall, but this does not contain cellulose.
The reason animals are able to move around so easily is that animal cells don't have cell walls - they are only bound by flexible membranes, and not rigid walls.

10. Which organelle in the cell contains DNA when cell division isn't in action?

Answer: Nucleus

The nucleus is the 'brain' of the cell. It holds the genetic information that tells the rest of the cell what to do. It contains about two meters of DNA! The nucleus is only present in eukaryotic cells.
