Answer each question below related to plant and animal cells in general. |
1. The lowest level of organization is the _______. tissue
organ
organism
cell
Answer: cellThe levels of organization in ascending order are cell, tissue, organ, organ system and organism. 2. The green color of leaves is due to the presence of the _______ pigment. chlorophyll xanthophyll
carotene
anthocyanin
Answer: chlorophyllChlorophyll contained in the chloroplast (a green-colored plastid found only in the plant cell) captures energy from sunlight and helps in the manufacture of food by the process of photosynthesis. 3. Which of the following cell organelles is found in the plant cell but not in the animal cell? Mitochondrion
Chloroplast Endoplasmic Reticulum
Ribosome
Answer: ChloroplastThe chloroplast is a green-colored plastid found only in the plant cell. Chlorophyll contained in the chloroplast captures energy from sunlight and helps in the manufacture of food by the process of photosynthesis.
4. The network of convoluted tubules is called the _______. golgi apparatus
mitochondrion
microtubule
endoplasmic reticulum
Answer: endoplasmic reticulumThe endoplasmic reticulum consists of tubular structures (convoluted tubules) lying near the nucleus. It provides support to the plant cell and the animal cell. It is of two types, namely the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (does not have ribosomes attached to it) and the rough endoplasmic reticulum (has ribosomes attached to it). 5. Secretory granules are formed by the _______ of the animal cell. golgi apparatus endoplasmic reticulum
mitochondria
ribosomes
Answer: golgi apparatusThe secretory granule of the animal cell is a vesicular structure. It is formed when the substances produced in the endoplasmic reticulum are further processed in the golgi apparatus of the cell. 6. _______ are known as the 'sites of intracellular digestion'. Lysosomes Secretory granules
Mitochondria
Ribosomes
Answer: LysosomesThe lysosome of the animal cell is a membranous sac budded off from the golgi apparatus, and contains several types of enzymes. It performs intracellular digestion and destroys foreign substances. 7. _______ consist of enzymes, which help in digestion. Lysosomes Ribosomes
Centrosomes
Plastids
Answer: LysosomesThe lysosome of the animal cell is a membranous sac budded off from the golgi apparatus, and contains several types of enzymes. It performs intracellular digestion and destroys foreign substances. 8. _______ are known as the 'power-houses of the cell'. Mitochondria Secretory granules
Ribosomes
Fat droplets
Answer: MitochondriaThe mitochondrion of the plant cell and the animal cell has two layers of membrane, of which the inner one is folded to form cristae. It is the site of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) synthesis. 9. The reproduction of the cell is controlled by the _______. mitochondrion
nucleus endoplasmic reticulum
centrosome
Answer: nucleusThe nucleus is the most important part of the plant cell and the animal cell, and contains large amounts of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). It controls and coordinates all the activities and functions of the cell. 10. The cell membrane is also known as the _______ membrane. pleural
parietal
plasma placental
Answer: plasmaThe cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane. It protects the plant cell and the animal cell & regulates the entry and exit of substances, namely ions and solutes. 11. _______ are known as the 'sites of protein synthesis in the cell'. Secretory granules
Ribosomes Mitochondria
Fat droplets
Answer: RibosomesThe ribosome of the plant cell and the animal cell is chiefly composed of RNA (Ribonucleic Acid). It synthesizes proteins. 12. Ribosomes are found attached on the _______. smooth endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum mitochondrion
golgi apparatus
Answer: rough endoplasmic reticulumThe ribosome of the plant cell and the animal cell is chiefly composed of RNA (Ribonucleic Acid). It synthesizes proteins. 13. The _______ color of flowers and fruits is due to the presence of the xanthophyll pigment. green
violet
blue
yellow
Answer: yellowXanthophyll contained in the chromoplast (a plastid that imparts color to flowers and fruits, found only in the plant cell) imparts a yellow color to the flowers and fruits of the plant. 14. A group of cells performing a specific function constitute a tissue. True False
Answer: TrueTissue is a group of similar cells performing a specific function. A group of similar tissues performing a specific function constitute an organ. 15. The outermost covering of the plant cell is known as the cell membrane. True
False
Answer: FalseThe cell wall is the outermost covering of the plant cell made up of cellulose, and surrounds the cell membrane. It protects the cell, provides mechanical support and is responsible for maintaining pressure inside the cell.
