CELL STRUCTURE AND PROCESSES Practice Worksheet

1. Fill out the chart about cells with a “Yes” or a “No.”


Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

Cell membrane yes no

Cytoplasm yes yes

Genetic Material yes yes

Ribosome yes yes

Nucleus yes no

Organelles no yes

Type of Cell Simple Complex

2. Which organelles are found ONLY in the plant cell and not animal cells? (Note: Some prokaryotic bacteria cells
may have these organelles.)

 A cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and a large central vacuole.

3. Match the cell organelle to its function.


4. Specialized cells are determined by DNA and they are specialized to do a specific job. What is the special job of‐‐?

Type of Specialized Cells Specialized Job

Specialized cells that contain hemoglobin and circulate through the body
delivering oxygen to cells.

Part of the immune system that helps fight infection and defend the body against
other foreign materials.

Muscle cells are specialized for contraction. Muscles allow for motions such as
walking, and they also facilitate bodily processes such as respiration and digestion.

These are specialized cells designed to stimulate other cells in the body in order
to communicate.
Bone exerts important functions in the body, such as locomotion, support and protection of
soft tissues, calcium and phosphate storage, and protection of bone marrow.

5. Fill out the chart below about Cell Energy.


Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration

Occurs in what
type of cells? Chloroplasts Mitochondria

Takes place in
the _____
organelle.

Reactants (uses)
carbon dioxide, water, and light energy Oxygen and glucose

Produces (creates)
glucose and oxygen adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

Full Equation
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 or 38 ATP

6. Compare and contrast the two types of cell transport.


Active Transport Passive Transport

Active transport mechanisms require the use of Passive transports is a naturally occurring
