Cell Biology and Structure Questions

Multiple choice
  1. Golgi bodies

  2. Mitochondria

  3. Lysosomes

  4. Plastids

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration, where energy in the form of ATP is generated. This function earns them the title of the powerhouse of the cell.

Multiple choice
  1. kinesised

  2. brain

  3. dead

  4. pre-existing

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Cell theory states that all cells arise from pre-existing cells through cell division. This principle, established by Rudolf Virchow in 1855, contradicts the earlier idea of spontaneous generation. Options A, B, and C are scientifically incorrect - cells do not come from kinesised (not a biological term), brain cells, or dead cells.

Multiple choice
  1. organism systems

  2. cell systems

  3. tissue systems

  4. organ systems

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The biological hierarchy is: cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism. Therefore, organ systems exist between organs and the whole organism.

Multiple choice
  1. cells

  2. organisms

  3. tissues

  4. organ system

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The biological hierarchy is: cell, tissue, organ. Thus, tissues are the level between cells and organs.

Multiple choice
  1. Atomic Theory

  2. Cell Theory

  3. Theory of Relativity

  4. Big Bang Theory

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Cell Theory is the fundamental scientific theory that states all living organisms are composed of cells. The other theories listed relate to physics or chemistry.

Multiple choice
  1. Bones

  2. Niche

  3. Cells

  4. Organelle

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The cell theory states that the cell is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms. Bones and organelles are components of larger systems.
