Ap Biology Chapter 1 Answer Key
Chapter One Quick Check:
1. Cells were not discovered by Hippocrates because he didn’t have the technology and equipment to.
2. Robert Hooke is credited with the discovery of the basic building block of living organisms.
3. Robert Brown is credited with the discovery of the cell nucleus.
4. Schleiden and Schwann’s contribution to biology was proposing that cells are the basic structural unit for plants and animals.
5. Before Virchow, one idea was that living things could arise from non-living and from dead matter, a process called ‘spontaneous generation’.
6. Person B is more likely to have permanent damage, because mature brain cells are unable to reproduce, the loss of brain cells is likely to have a bigger impact on some function(s) of the individual.

9. Lysosomes are sometimes called ‘suicide bags’. Suggest why this name is given.
a. Due to the fact that they contain dissolved digestive enzymes that, when released, can cause the death of a cell.
10. Identify the following as true or false and briefly justify your answers.
a. Plant cells without chloroplasts can capture the energy of sunlight.
i. False: Chloroplasts are essential to capture sunlight energy.
b. Chloroplasts can be seen through a light microscope.
i. True: Chloroplasts are large enough to be seen by a LM.
11. List one location in the human body where cells with cilia are found.
a. Trachea.
12. Consider a cell with cilia beating on its surface. Identify one other organelle that would be expected to assist in the action of these cilia.
a. Mitochondria would be present to assist the action of the cilia because energy is needed.
13. List four cell organelles that are involved in the process of making protein. What is the contribution of each organelle to this process?
a. Four cell organelles involved in the process of making protein are:
i. Nucleus: has coded instructions for making each specific
