1. The nucleusWW , which is essential for function and survival of the cell.
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
A) is the site of protein synthesis
WW WW WW WW WW
B) contains the genetic code WW WW WW
C) transforms cellular energy WW WW
D) initiates aerobic metabolism WW WW
2. Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
plants of the cell because they:
WW WW WW WW WW WW
A) contain RNA for protein synthesis.
WW WW WW WW
B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.
WW WW WW WW
C) extract energy from organic compounds.
WW WW WW WW
D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.
WW WW WW WW WW
3. Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a lipid
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
bilayer, most of the specific membrane functions are carried out by:
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
A) bound and transmembrane proteins.
WW WW WW
B) complex, long carbohydrate chains. WW WW WW
C) surface antigens and hormone receptors.
WW WW WW WW
D) a gating system of selective ion channels.
WW WW WW WW WW WW
4. To effectively relay signals, cell-to-
WW WW WW WW
cell communication utilizes chemical messenger systems that:
WW WW WW WW WW WW
A) displace surface receptor proteins. WW WW WW
B) accumulate within cell gap junctions. WW WW WW WW
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.
WW WW WW
D) release secretions into extracellular fluid.
WW WW WW WW
5. Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism, provides energy by:
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
,A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP.
WW WW WW WW WW
B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water. WW WW WW WW WW WW
C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm.
WW WW WW WW WW
D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid.
WW WW WW WW WW WW
6. Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
into the WW
extracellular fluid.
WW WW
A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins for transport
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful microorganisms
WW WW WW WW WW
C) Removing cellular debris and releasing synthesized substances
WW WW WW WW WW WW
D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
7. The process responsible for generating and conducting membrane potentials is:
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
A) diffusion of current-carrying ions.
WW WW WW
B) millivoltage of electrical potential. WW WW WW
C) polarization of charged particles. WW WW WW
D) ion channel neurotransmission.

8. Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
number of layers. Which of the following is a correctly matched description
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
and type of epithelial tissue?
WW WW WW WW WW
A) Simple epithelium: cells in contact with intercellular matrix; some do not
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
extend to surface
WW WW WW
B) Stratified epithelium: single layer of cells; all cells rest on basement
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
membrane
WW
C) Glandular epithelium: arise from surface epithelia and underlying
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
connective tissue
WW WW
D) Pseudostratified epithelium: multiple layers of cells; deepest layer rests on
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
basement membrane
WW WW
9. Connective tissue contains fibroblasts that are responsible for:
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
A) providing a fibrous framework for capillaries.
WW WW WW WW WW
B) synthesis of collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers.
WW WW WW WW WW WW
, C) forming tendons and the fascia that covers muscles.
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
D) filling spaces between tissues to keep organs in place.
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
10. Although all muscle tissue cells have some similarities, smooth muscle (also
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
known as involuntary muscle) differs by:
WW WW WW WW WW WW
A) having dense bodies attached to actin filaments.
WW WW WW WW WW WW
B) containing sarcomeres between Z lines and M bands.
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
C) having rapid contractions and abundant cross-striations.
WW WW WW WW WW
D) contracting in response to increased intracellular calcium.
WW WW WW WW WW WW
11. Which of the following aspects of the function of the nucleus is performed by
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
WW WW WW
A) Copying and carrying DNA instructions for protein synthesis
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
B) Carrying amino acids to the site of protein synthesis
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
C) Providing the site where protein synthesis occurs
WW WW WW WW WW WW
D) Regulating and controlling protein synthesis WW WW WW WW
12. Breakdown and removal of foreign substances and worn-
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
out cell parts are performed by which of the following organelles?
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
A) Lysosomes
B) Golgi apparatus WW
C) Ribosomes
D) Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) WW WW
13. Impairment in the function of peroxisomes would result in:
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
A) inadequate sites for protein synthesis. WW WW WW WW
B) an inability to transport cellular products across the cell membrane.
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
C) insufficient energy production within a cell. WW WW WW WW WW
D) accumulation of free radicals in the cytoplasm. WW WW WW WW WW WW
14. After several months of trying to conceive, a couple is undergoing fertility te
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
sting. Semen analysis indicates that the mans sperm have decreased motility, a
WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW WW
finding that is thought to underlie the couples inability to become pregnant.
