If you were describing the function of a plant cell's chloroplasts to your classmate, you would want to make all of the following points except a. Chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis, producing the food that sustains the plant. b. Chloroplasts are involved in the plant's synthesis of fatty acids and amino acids. c. Chloroplasts contain most of the cell's DNA. d. Chloroplasts aid the cell in its immune response.

Match the plant and bacterial organelles/structures to their jobs/functions. A. cell wall B. central vacuole C. chloroplast D. pili A. support and protection B. holds water that presses on outer cell to keep cell plump and stores nutrients, wastes, and helps maintain pH C. contains pigments and enzymes that make sugar from water and carbon dioxide using light energy (photosynthesis) D. anchor/stick cell to surfaces and can be used to transfer DNA from one cell to another for reproduction Which of the following is FALSE about cells? A. Cells are the smallest LIVING thing. B. Cells are made of organelles. C. The endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplasts used to be free-living bacteria that moved into a eukaryotic cell and because they both benefited, the bacteria evolved into organelles instead of bacteria. D. Most cells in a human are constantly moving around the body and they usually live as long as the human they are in. E. One cell can be an entire organism.

In plants, cells in the leaves mainly make food for the plant. Which organelle does these cells have that enables them to make food? (a) These cells have plastids with pigment chlorophyll that helps photosynthesize. (b) These cells have mitochondria that provide ATP as energy to photosynthesize. (c) These cells have colorless plastids that absorb sunlight to help plant photosynthesize. (d) These cells have vacuoles that provide essential nutrients required for photosynthesis.
