a. mitochondria b. lysosome c. Golgi body d. All of them.

_____ 15. These are fluid-filled cavities that are surrounded by membranes and named according to the
specific functions they play within the cell. One is found mainly in plants occupying 30% and is
2
 used to store nutrients, metabolites and waste products . It also contributes in maintaining the size
and turgidity of the plant cell.
a. cytoplasm b. vacuole c. Golgi body d. All of them.

_____ 16. This fluid-filled cavity contains food particles ingested by phagocytic cells and then deliver them
to the lysosome for digestion.

_____ 19. These are longer whip-like structures used for movement.
a. flagellumb. cytoplasm c. nucleusd. All of them.

_____ 20. Firm, protective structure that gives the cell itsshape in plants, fungi, most bacteria and
someprotists.
a. cell membrane b. cell wall c. cell structured. All of them.

functions of a living organism such as cellular respiration, digestion, excretion, reproduction,
maintenance of homeostasis, and so on.
a. TRUE b. FALSE c. Maybe

_____ 28. Bacteria are made up of only one single cell. Hence, it is not a complete organism.
a. TRUE b. FALSE c. Maybe

_____ 29. Connective tissue is a group of tissues in the body that maintains the form of the body and its
organs and provides interconnection and internal support. A connective tissue is a complete
organism.

. Ribosomes These are the sites where protein synthesis takes places. They
look like small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic
reticulum.
