A) Eukaryote with a cell wall and non-membrane
bound organelles
B) Prokaryote with chloroplast and centrioles
C) Eukaryote with centrioles and no cell wall
D) Prokaryote with centrioles and no cell wall

7. OOPS… WRONG
ANSWER!
Let’s give it
another try

8. The Plant Cell: Question
Which statement best describes a plant cell
A) Prokaryote with a cell wall and chloroplast
B) Eukaryote with a cell wall, centrioles, and
chloroplast
C) Eukaryote with centrioles, chloroplast, and no cell
wall
D) Eukaryote with a cell wall and chloroplast

10. OOPS… WRONG
ANSWER!
Let’s give it
another try

11. True or False
1. The modern cell theory states that i) “all living organisms are
made of cells” ii) “cells are the basic units of life” and iii) cells form
on their own.
2. The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for making ATP.
False
“The modern cell theory states that i) all living organisms are made of cells ii) cells
are the basic units of life and iii) cells come from other pre-existing cells”
True
True
The statement is correct. Remember “mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”
(Westafer, n.d.)
False

12. True or False
3. The vacuole, which is responsible for storing water and other
liquids, is small in plant cell and large in animal cells.
4. The cell membrane is the organelle that all cells have that
allows material into and out of the cell.
False
“The vacuole, which is responsible for storing water and other liquids, is large in
plant cells and small in animal cells.”
True
True
The statement is correct. The cell membrane is found in plant and animal cells and
function to allow material into and out of the cell.
(Westafer, n.d.)
False
