Correct Answer(s)
B. All cells are similar but not identical
D. Cells reproduce by dividing in two
E. All living things are made of cellsExplanation
Cell Theory is a fundamental concept in biology that states three main rules. The first rule is that all living things are made of cells. This means that cells are the basic building blocks of life. The second rule is that all cells are similar but not identical. This means that while cells may have similarities in structure and function, they can also have variations. The third rule is that cells reproduce by dividing in two. This means that cells have the ability to replicate and create new cells through the process of cell division.Rate this question:

Two main differences between plant and animal cells are... (select 2)
- A.
Plant cells are bigger
- B.
Only animal cells contain organelles
- C.
Plant cells contain chlorophyl, animal cells don't
- D.
Plant cells have a double layer wall. (a cell membrane and cell wall)
Correct Answer(s)
C. Plant cells contain chloropHyl, animal cells don't
D. Plant cells have a double layer wall. (a cell membrane and cell wall)Explanation
The correct answer is "Plant cells contain chlorophyll, animal cells don't" and "Plant cells have a double layer wall (a cell membrane and cell wall)". These two statements highlight key differences between plant and animal cells. Chlorophyll is a pigment found in plant cells that allows them to perform photosynthesis, while animal cells do not have this pigment. The presence of a double layer wall in plant cells, consisting of both a cell membrane and a cell wall, provides additional structural support that is not present in animal cells.Rate this question:

The objective lens on a microscope is the ...
- A.
Top lens also known as the 'eyepiece'
- B.
The bottom lens closest to the specimen
- C.
The fine focusing knob
Correct Answer
B. The bottom lens closest to the specimenExplanation
The correct answer is the bottom lens closest to the specimen. The objective lens is the lens that is closest to the specimen being observed on a microscope. It is responsible for gathering light from the specimen and forming an enlarged image that can be viewed through the eyepiece. The objective lens is typically a series of lenses with different magnification powers, allowing for different levels of magnification when observing the specimen.Rate this question:

A microscope with a 10x eyepiece and a 4x objective lens would have a magnification of...
- A.
4x
- B.
40x
- C.
10x
Correct Answer
B. 40xExplanation
A microscope's total magnification is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens. In this case, the eyepiece has a magnification of 10x and the objective lens has a magnification of 4x. Therefore, the total magnification of the microscope would be 10x multiplied by 4x, which equals 40x.Rate this question:

Mitochondria are organelles that ...
- A.
Store water, nutrients, and waste
- B.
Produce energy for the cell to function
Correct Answer
B. Produce energy for the cell to functionExplanation
Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy for the cell to function. They are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main source of energy for cellular activities. This energy production occurs through a process called cellular respiration, where nutrients such as glucose are broken down to release ATP. Without mitochondria, cells would not have the necessary energy to carry out essential functions and survival would be compromised.Rate this question:
