Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.96 Identify Organelles on Diagrams skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A teacher asks students to identify the best evidence that a diagram represents a plant cell rather than an animal cell. Which evidence is strongest among the organelles shown?

AThe cell has a membrane.

BThe cell has a nucleus.

CThe cell has chloroplasts and a large central vacuole.

DThe cell has mitochondria.

Solution & Explanation:Both plant and animal cells have membranes, nuclei, and mitochondria, but chloroplasts and a large central vacuole strongly support a plant cell.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In a plant cell diagram, which label should a student choose for the organelle that would most directly explain why the cell can make food, and which function should the student match to it?

ALabel on vacuole; water storage

BLabel on nucleus; entry and exit

CLabel on membrane; energy release from food

DLabel on chloroplast; photosynthesis

Solution & Explanation:The chloroplast is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A classroom poster labels the membrane as the organelle where photosynthesis occurs and the chloroplast as the boundary that controls movement. Which revision is correct?

ASwap the two labels because chloroplasts do photosynthesis and membranes control movement.

BKeep both labels because either organelle can do both jobs.

CReplace both labels with vacuole because storage solves both problems.

DChange membrane to nucleus and chloroplast to vacuole.

Solution & Explanation:The two jobs are reversed. Chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis, and membranes regulate entry and exit.
