1. The nucleus
n , which is essential for function and survival of the cell.
n n n n n n n n n n
A) is the site of protein synthesis
n n n n n
B) contains the genetic code n n n
C) transforms cellular energy n n
D) initiates aerobic metabolism n n
2. Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power p
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
lants of the cell because they:
n n n n n

4. To effectively relay signals, cell-to-
n n n n
cell communication utilizes chemical messenger systems that:
n n n n n n
A) displace surface receptor proteins. n n n
B) accumulate within cell gap junctions. n n n n
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.

10. Although all muscle tissue cells have some similarities, smooth muscle (also k
n n n n n n n n n n n
nown as involuntary muscle) differs by:
n n n n n
A) having dense bodies attached to actin filaments.
n n n n n n
B) containing sarcomeres between Z lines and M bands.
n n n n n n n
C) having rapid contractions and abundant cross-striations.
