C) Mitochondrion
D) Chloroplast
What is the main function of the cell membrane?
A) To produce energy for the cell.B) To store genetic information.

D) To provide rigid support to the cell.
Organisms whose cells lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles are classified as:
A) EukaryotesB) Prokaryotes

A cell that is highly active in synthesizing, modifying, and transporting lipids would likely have an extensive amount of which organelle?
A) Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumB) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
C) Nucleolus
D) Chloroplast
According to the cell theory, which of the following statements is true?
A) All cells arise spontaneously from non-living matter.B) All living things are composed of one or more cells.
C) Cells are only found in plants and animals.
D) Cells are the largest units of life.
The Golgi apparatus is best described as an organelle that:
A) Produces ATP through cellular respiration.B) Contains the cell's genetic material.
C) Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
D) Breaks down waste materials and cellular debris.
What is the process by which particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, often across a cell membrane, without the use of cellular energy?
A) Active transportB) Osmosis

If a cell were unable to break down old, worn-out organelles and cellular debris, which organelle would most likely be malfunctioning?
A) VacuoleB) Lysosome
C) Nucleus
D) Ribosome
A scientist observes a cell under a microscope and notes the presence of a rigid outer layer, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole. Based on these observations, this cell is most likely from which type of organism?
A) An animalB) A fungus
C) A bacterium
D) A plant
If a cell is specialized for producing and secreting a large quantity of protein hormones (e.g., insulin), which sequence of organelles would be most prominent and functionally integrated within that cell?
A) Nucleus -> Mitochondrion -> VacuoleB) Ribosome -> Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum -> Golgi Apparatus
C) Cell Wall -> Chloroplast -> Central Vacuole
D) Lysosome -> Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum -> Nucleolus
A red blood cell is placed into a solution, and after some time, it swells and bursts (hemolysis). This outcome indicates that the solution the red blood cell was placed in was:
A) Hypertonic, causing water to leave the cell.B) Isotonic, causing no net movement of water.
C) Hypotonic, causing water to enter the cell.
D) Saturated, preventing any water movement.
