CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING (30 minutes)

You will answer and rationalize this by yourself. This will be recorded as your quiz. One (1) point will be given to correct
answer and another one (1) point for the correct ratio. Superimpositions or erasures in you answer/ratio is not allowed.
You are given 30 minutes for this activity:

Multiple Choice
1. Molecules of extrachromosomal DNA are also known as:
a. Golgi bodies.
b. lysosomes.
c. plasmids.
d. plastids.
ANSWER: ________
C
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
Plasmids are the extra chromosomal structures in the cells of bacteria which have the ability to self replicate. They do not
________________________________________________________________________________________________
combine with the genetic material of the host cell but stay independently.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. A bacterium possessing a tuft of flagella at one end of its cell would be called what kind of bacterium?
a. amphitrichous
b. lophotrichous
c. monotrichous
d. peritrichous
ANSWER: ________C
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
A single flagellum can extend from one end of the cell - if so, the bacterium is said to be monotrichous.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. A bacterium possessing one or more flagella at each end of its cell would be called what kind of bacterium?
a. amphitrichous
b. lophotrichous
c. monotrichous
d. peritrichous
ANSWER: ________A
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
When a bacterial cell has amphitrichous flagella, it has one or multiple flagella at opposite ends of its cell body.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

4. Some bacteria stain Gram-positive and others stain Gram-negative as a result of differences in the structure of their:
a. capsule.
b. cell membrane.
c. cell wall.
d. ribosomes.
C
ANSWER: ________
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
The bacterial cell wall serves to give the organism its size and shape as well as to prevent osmotic lysis. The material in
________________________________________________________________________________________________
the bacterial cell wall which confers rigidity is peptidoglycan.

5. Of the following, which one is not found in prokaryotic cells?

a. cell membrane
b. chromosome
c. mitochondria
d. plasmids
ANSWER: ________C
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
Prokaryotes lack mitochondria and instead produce their ATP on their cell surface membrane.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________

6. Which one of the following is never found in prokaryotic cells?

a. flagella
b. capsule
c. cilia
d. ribosomes
ANSWER: ________ C
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
Cilia are absent in prokaryotes. Cilia are hair-like structures present on the surface of all eukaryotic cells, which play a
________________________________________________________________________________________________
major role in locomotion.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
7. The semipermeable structure controlling the transport of materials between the cell and its external environment is the:
a. cell membrane.
b. cell wall.
c. cytoplasm.
d. nuclear membrane.
ANSWER: ________ A
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell while keeping
________________________________________________________________________________________________
other substances out. It also serves as a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and the cell wall in
________________________________________________________________________________________________
others.

8. In eukaryotic cells, what are the sites of photosynthesis?

a. mitochondria
b. plasmids
c. plastids
d. ribosomes
ANSWER: ________C
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
The plastids are double-membrane organelles that contain the pigments used in photosynthesis and manufacture and
________________________________________________________________________________________________
store the important chemical compounds used by the cells.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

9. What is the membrane that serves as a ―skin‖ around the nucleus; it contains holes (nuclear pores) through which large
molecules can enter and exit the nucleus.
a. cell membrane.
b. cell wall.
c. cytoplasm.
d. nuclear membrane.
ANSWER: ________
C
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
The nuclear membrane encloses the DNA within the nucleus and protects it from the substances in the cytoplasm. It also
________________________________________________________________________________________________
regulates the entry and exit of substances in the nucleus.

10. A slimy, gelatinous material produced by the cell membrane and secreted outside of the cell wall.
a. glycocalyx
b slime layer
c. capsule
d. tablet
ANSWER: ________A
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
The glycocalyx is a dense, gel-like meshwork that surrounds the cell, constituting a physical barrier for any object to enter
________________________________________________________________________________________________
the cell. For example, the glycocalyx was identified to play an important role to prevent the entry of pathogens into the cell.
