1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
supercoiled DNAwith histones. Which of the following would also be observed by
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
the student?

a. A single circular chromosome tekr tekr tekr
b. A nucleus tekr
c. Free-floating nuclear material tekr tekr
d. No organelles tekr
ANS: B tekr
The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
within itsnucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
chromosome called a prokaryote contains free-floating nuclear material but has no
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr

nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to transform
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
nutrients to energy?

a. Metabolic absorption tekr
b. Communication
c. Secretion

ANS: NURSINGTB.COM
t D e k r
The cell’s ability to absorb oxygen is referred to as respiration while its communication
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
abilityinvolves maintenance of a steady dynamic state, metabolic absorption provides
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
nutrition, and secretion allows for the synthesizing of new substances.

tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
a. Mitochondria

The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
ribonucleicacid, most of the DNA, and DNA-binding proteins, is the nucleolus,

which is located withinthe cell’s nucleus. Mitochondria is associated with cellular
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
respiration, while ribosomes are involved with protein manufacturing. Cytoplasm is a
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
fluid filling that is a component of the cell.

integralmembrane proteins that dissolve the bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins
tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr tekr
