Question

base your answers to questions 8 through 14 on the information below and on your knowledge of biology. the diagrams represent two different cells and some of their parts. the diagrams are not drawn to scale.

1. identify the organelle labeled x in cell b.
2. which statement best describes these cells?

a) cell b lacks vacuoles while cell a has them.
b) dna would not be found in either cell a or cell b.
c) both cell a and cell b use energy released from atp.
d) both cell a and cell b produce antibiotics.

1. identify an organelle in cell a that is the site of autotrophic nutrition.
2. which row in the chart below contains a cell structure paired with its primary function?

row	cell structure	function
(1)	ribosome	protein synthesis
(2)	vacuole	production of genetic information
(3)	nucleus	carbohydrate synthesis
(4)	mitochondrion	waste disposal

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4

1. which sequence of terms is in the correct order from simplest to most complex?

a) cells → tissues → organs → organ systems
b) tissues → organisms → cells → organ systems
c) cells → tissues → organ systems → organs
d) organs → organisms → organ systems → cells

1. which organelle is correctly paired with its function?

a) nucleus — provides carbohydrate fermentation
b) chloroplast — serves as a site of photosynthesis
c) centriole — synthesizes digestive enzymes
d) lysosome — packages cell products

1. which organelle is the site of text cut off

Explanation:

1. Based on typical cell - structure knowledge, if cell B is an animal cell, the organelle labeled X is likely a lysosome which contains digestive enzymes.
2. All living cells use energy in the form of ATP. Cell A (plant - like) and cell B (animal - like) both require and use ATP for their metabolic processes.
3. Chloroplasts in plant cells (cell A) are the site of autotrophic nutrition as they carry out photosynthesis.
4. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis. Vacuoles store substances, the nucleus contains genetic information, and mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell for energy production.
5. The correct biological hierarchy from simplest to most complex is cells → tissues → organs → organ systems.
6. Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis. The nucleus contains genetic material, centrioles are involved in cell division, and lysosomes are for digestion.
7. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.

Answer:

1. Lysosome
2. C) Both cell A and cell B use energy released from ATP.
3. Chloroplast
4. A) 1
5. A) cells → tissues → organs → organ systems
6. B) chloroplast — serves as a site of photosynthesis
7. C) ribosomes
