MULTIPLE CHOICE dc




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



DNA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc




a. A single circular chromosome
dc dc dc




b. A nucleus dc




c. Free-floating nuclear material dc dc




d. No organelles dc




ANS: B dc




The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its nucle
dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc



us; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokar

yotic cells, which do not have histones. Free-
dc dc dc dc dc dc dc



floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleus. E
dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc



ukaryotic cells have membrane- dc dc dc



bound cellular components called organelles. No organelles describe a prokaryotic cell.

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



the nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to transform
dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc



nutrients to energy? dc dc




a. Metabolic absorption dc




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

ANS: D dc




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



he cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of communication. The ability o

3. A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA replication. In which region of the cell would
dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc dc




most of the genetic information be contained?
dc dc dc dc dc dc




a. Mitochondria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus

ANS: C dc




The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of ribonucleic acid

, most of the DNA, and DNA-

binding proteins, is the nucleolus. The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration. The riboso

mes are involved in the manufacturing of proteins within the cell. The nucleus contains the nucle

olus, and it is the nucleolus that contains genetic material.

mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior. According to this
