MULTIPLE CHOICE w1
1. Which statement best describes the cellular function of metabolic absorption?
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
a. Cells can produce proteins. w1 w1 w1
b. Cells can secrete digestive w1 w1 w1
enzymes. w1
c. Cells can take in and use w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
nutrients. w1
d. Cells can synthesize fats. w1 w1 w1
ANS: w 1 C
In metabolic absorption, all cells take in and use nutrients and other
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
substances from their surroundings. The remaining options are not inclusive
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
in their descriptions of cellular metabolic absorption.

2. Where is most of a cell’s genetic information, including RNA and DNA, contained?
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
a. Mitochond
ria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus
d. Lysosome
ANS: w 1 C
The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed largely
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
of RNA, most of the cellular DNA, and the DNA-binding proteins, such as the
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
histones, which regulate its activity. The mitochondria are responsible for
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
cellular respiration and energy production.
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
Ribosomes’ chief function is to provide sites for cellular protein synthesis. w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
Lysosomes function as the intracellular digestive system.

3. Which component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by using
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
oxygen to remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
reaction?
w1
a. Lysosome
s
b. Peroxisom
es
c. Ribosome
, s
d. Endosome
ANS: w 1 B
, Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain enzymes that use oxygen to
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction that produces
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
H2O2, which is a powerful oxidant and potentially destructive if it accumulates or
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
escapes from peroxisomes. Ribosomes are RNA-protein complexes (nucleoproteins)
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
that are synthesized in the nucleolus and secreted into the cytoplasm through pores in
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
the nuclear envelope called nuclear pore complexes. Lysosomes are saclike structures
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
that originate from the Golgi complex and contain more than 40 digestive enzymes
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
called hydrolases, which catalyze bonds in proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
carbohydrates. An endosome is a vesical that has been pinched off from the cellular
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
membrane.

4. Which cell component is capable of cellular autodigestion when it is
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
released during cell injury?
w1 w1 w1 w1
a. Ribosome
b. Golgi complex w1
c. Smooth endoplasmic w1
reticulum
w1
d. Lysosomes
ANS: w 1 D
The lysosomal membrane acts as a protective shield between the powerful
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
digestive enzymes within the lysosome and the cytoplasm, preventing their
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
leakage into the cytoplasmic matrix. Disruption of the membrane by various
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
treatments or cellular injury leads to a release of the lysosomal enzymes,
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
which can then react with their specific substrates, causing cellular self-
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
digestion. The chief function of a ribosome is to provide sites for cellular
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
protein synthesis. The Golgi complex is a network of flattened, smooth
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
vesicles and membranes often located near the cell nucleus. The smooth
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
endoplasmic reticulum is involved in steroid hormone production and
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
removing toxic substances from the cell.

5. Which cAMP-mediated response is related to antidiuretic hormone?
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
a. Increased heart rate and force of w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
contraction
w1
b. Secretion of cortisol w1 w1
c. Increased retention of water w1 w1 w1
d. Breakdown of fat w1 w1
ANS: w 1 C
Antidiuretic hormone leads to increased retention of water in the body. w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
Epinephrine causes increases in heart rate and force of contraction. Increased
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
cortisol secretion is due to ACTH. Breakdown of fat is due to glucagon.
