MULTIPLE s s CHOICE


1. A s s student s s is s s observing s s a s s cell s s under s s the s s microscope. s s It
s s is s s observed s s to havesupercoiled DNAwith histones. Which of the
ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss following would also be observed bythe student? ss ss ss ss s s s s




a. A s s single circular s s s s chromosome
b. A s s nucleus
c. Free-floating nuclear material ss s s




d. No organelles s s




ANS: s s B
The s s cell s s described s s is s s a s s eukaryotic s s cell, s s so s s it s s has s s histones
s s and s s a supercoiled DNA within itsnucleus; thus, the nucleus should be

2. A nurse is instructing the staff about cellular functions. Which cellular
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss function is the nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




s s oxygen and uses it to transformnutrients to energy? ss r ss ss s s ss ss

,a. Metabolic absorption s s




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

ANS: s s D
The s s cell’s s s ability s s to s s absorb s s oxygen s s is s s referred s s to s s as
s s respiration s s while itscommunication abilityinvolves maintenance of a
