Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.68 Organelles and Functions (Plant and Animal) skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A student says, "This cell sample must be an animal cell because it has mitochondria." Which evaluation is best?
AThe claim is incomplete because both plant and animal cells have mitochondria
BThe claim is correct because only animal cells need energy
CThe claim is correct because plant cells use chloroplasts instead of mitochondria
DThe claim is impossible to test because mitochondria cannot be seen in cells
Solution & Explanation:Mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells, so more evidence is needed to identify the cell type.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Study the complete plant-cell survival model in the image. Which model best shows the nucleus directing activities, the membrane regulating exchange, the wall supporting the cell, chloroplasts making food, and mitochondria releasing energy?
AConcept Map A
BConcept Map B
CConcept Map C
DConcept Map D
Solution & Explanation:Model C is the only one that correctly assigns each organelle its job in an accurate plant cell.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A tall sunflower must stay upright on a hot day. Which pair of structures helps most directly with storage and support inside its cells?
Acentral vacuole and cell wall
Bchloroplast and nucleus
CGolgi apparatus and ribosome
Dlysosome and mitochondrion
Solution & Explanation:The central vacuole stores water, and the cell wall provides support, helping the plant stay upright.
