Unit 5: The Endocrine System
19. Mechanisms of Hormonal Regulation
20. Alterations of Hormonal Regulation
21. Obesity and Disorders of Nutrition
CHAPTER 1: CELLULAR BIOLOGY
1. Which of the following structures is responsible for controlling
the movement of substances in and out of the cell?
A. Nucleus
, B. Mitochondria
C. Plasma membrane
D. Ribosome
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The plasma membrane regulates the entry and exit of
substances, maintaining homeostasis. The nucleus,
mitochondria, and ribosomes have different functions within the
cell.
2. What is the primary function of mitochondria?
A. Protein synthesis
B. Cellular energy production
C. Genetic information storage
D. Cell division
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell,
generating ATP for energy. They are not involved in protein
synthesis, genetic information storage, or cell division.
3. Which organelle is responsible for protein synthesis in the cell?
A. Nucleus
