Cell membranes
Cytoplasm
Cell walls
Chloroplasts
All plant cells have cell walls as well as cell membranes
2 .
At fertilisation, a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell. Which of these structures is never found in sperm or egg cells?

Cytoplasm
Mitochondria
Ribosomes
Vacuole
These are a feature of plant cells - although they do occasionally occur in animal cells
3 .
All cells, including the bacteria shown here, contain ribosomes. What is the function of ribosomes?
Provide energy from respiration
Protein synthesis
Photosynthesis
Control activities of the cell
Many of the chemical reactions in a cell involve the creation of proteins
4 .
This is a diagram of an animal cell. Which of the following is not found in an animal cell?
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Cell wall
Cytoplasm
Cell walls are formed from cellulose and give plant cells both strength and shape
5 .
This is an image of a nucleus. What is the name of the chemical found inside the nucleus which contains the genetic code?
RNA
TRA
ZRA
DNA
DNA stands for Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid
6 .
This plant cell is packed with structures which make sugars by the process of photosynthesis. What are they called?

Chloroplasts
Chloroform
Chloride
Chloroblasts
They use light energy to combine water and carbon dioxide, forming glucose
7 .
Which of these structures are located in all plant and animal cells and contain DNA?
Vacuoles
Chloroplasts
Ribosomes
Chromosomes
Chromosomes can be seen most clearly during cell division
8 .
Chlostridium botulinum are dangerous and produce a toxin which can be fatal. Which type of cell are they?
Yeast
Bacteria
Animal
Plant
The waste products from bacteria can be toxic
9 .
This is Spirogyra which is a type of alga found in ponds. What are the green structures within the cytoplasm?

Nucleus
Mitochondria
Chloroplasts
Ribosomes
Spirogyra is therefore a producer - it manufactures its own food
10 .
This is a picture of animal cells. Mitochondria are found in all plant and animal cells. What do mitochondria provide?
Energy
Life
Food
Water
Mitochondria provide energy so that the cell can do useful work
