Chapter 4 Unit Quiz

Which of the following is a correct matching of an organelle and its function?

Mitochondrion-Cellular Respiration

Which of the following structures would not be found only in a eukaryotic cell?

Nucleus

Eukaryotic cells have DNA enclosed in a double membrane called the nucleus. The nucleus functions to

Separate the DNA from other activities that occur in the cytoplasm.

Which of the following allows eukaryotic and their organelles to move?

The cytoskeleton

The nucleus has a double membrane that encloses the DNA. Inside the nucleus, the DNA acts as the template to produce mRNA and ribosomes. To exit the nucleus, these molecules must

Pass through pores that span both membranes.

What must materials pass through to enter or leave a cell?

Plasma membrane

As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through

A hydrophilic later of phospholipid heads, then a hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails, and then another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads.

Which of the following is a function of the nucleus?

Acts as the control center of the cell

Are involved in energy conversion; are found in nearly all eukaryotic cells

A cell being observed under a microscope has a cell wall, plasma membrane, ribosomes, and chromosomal material that is not found in a nucleus. Based on this information, the cell could be a

Bacterial cell

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are similar in that they both

Contain DNA
