1. Which of the following best defines the concept of cellular homeostasis?
A. A state of constant organelle replication irrespective of stimuli
B. The dynamic equilibrium that cells maintain in response to physiologic demands
C. The inability of the cell to adapt to mild stressors
D. The process by which cells alternately shrink and swell in cycles
Correct Answer B
Expert-Verified Explanation:
• Cellular homeostasis refers to the balance cells must keep to function optimally,
adjusting to changes in the environment or internal signals.
• It is not about constant replication (option A) or an inability to adapt (option C);
rather, it is an active, dynamic process.
• Option D describes random fluctuations rather than a finely regulated equilibrium.
• Think of homeostasis like a thermostat carefully adjusting temperature—it must
consistently monitor external conditions and modulate internal processes accordingly.
2. The primary function of ribosomes in eukaryotic cells is:
A. Breakdown of damaged proteins
B. Detoxification of harmful substances
C. Synthesis of proteins
D. Generation of aerobic respiration intermediates
Correct Answer C
Expert-Verified Explanation:
• Ribosomes, whether free or membrane-bound, read mRNA transcripts to synthesize
proteins.
• Proteasomes (not ribosomes) degrade damaged proteins (option A).
• Detoxification characterizes the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (option B).
• Mitochondria (option D) are central to aerobic respiration, not ribosomes.
• Visualize ribosomes as “molecular 3D printers,” translating genetic code into
functional protein products.
3. Mitochondria are key organelles in cells for all these reasons EXCEPT:
