Section 3: Eukaryotic Cell Structure

Eukaryotic Cell Structure

1.
What organelle in plants captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy?
A)mitochondrion
B)nucleus
C)cytoskeleton
D)chloroplast
2.
What is the difference between plant and animal cells?
A)None, they contain the same features.
B)Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, animal cells do not. Plant cells usually are larger and contain one large vacuole. Animal cells contain centrioles.
C)Plant cells contain a cytoskeleton and animal cells do not.
D)Animal cells contain a nucleus. Plant cells do not contain a nucleus.

Golgi apparatus
4.
If you observed a cell under a microscope and noticed that it contained a plasma membrane, cell wall, and ribosomes, but none of the other organelles, what could you conclude?
A)It is an animal cell.
B)It is damaged.
C)It is a prokaryotic cell.
D)It is an eukaryotic cell.
5.
Once proteins are made, where do they go?
A)Golgi apparatus
B)vacuoles
C)endoplasmic reticulum
D)mitochondrion
