MULTIPLE CHOICE R




1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoiled D
R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R



NA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
R R R R R R R R R R R R R




a. A single circular chromosome
R R R




b. A nucleus
R




c. Free-floating nuclear material R R




d. No organelles
R




ANS: B R




The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its nucleus; t
R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R



hus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokaryotic

floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleus. Euk
R R R R R R R R R R R R R R



aryotic cells have membrane-

2. A nurse is instructing the staff about cellular functions. Which cellular function is t
R R R R R R R R R R R R R



he nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to transform
R R R R R R R R R R R R R



nutrients to energy? R R




a. Metabolic absorption R




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

ANS: D R




The ability of the cell to absorb oxygen refers to the cells function of respiration. The ability of the
R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R



cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of communication. The ability of the
R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R



cell to take in nutrients refers to the cells function of metabolic absorption.The ability of the cell t
