,Chapter`1.`The`Cell`as`a`Unit`of`Health`and`Disease
1 The`nucleus`
,`which`is`essential`for`function`and`s
urvival`of`the`cell.
A) is`the`site`of`protein`synthesis
B) contains`the`genetic`code
C) transforms`cellular`energy
D) initiates`aerobic`metabolism
2 Although`energy`is`not`made`in`mitochondria,`they`are`known`a
s`the`power`plants`of`the`cell`because`they:
A) contain`RNA`for`protein`synthesis.
B) utilize`glycolysis`for`oxidative`energy.
C) extract`energy`from`organic`compounds.
D) store`calcium`bonds`for`muscle`contractions.
3 Although`the`basic`structure`of`the`cell`plasma`membrane`is`for
med`by`a`lipid`bilayer,`most`of`the`specific`membrane`functions
`are`carried`out`by:
A) bound`and`transmembrane`proteins.
B) complex,`long`carbohydrate`chains.
C) surface`antigens`and`hormone`receptors.
D) a`gating`system`of`selective`ion`channels.
4 To`effectively`relay`signals,`cell-to-
cell`communication`utilizes`chemical`messenger`systems`tha
t:
A) displace`surface`receptor`proteins.
B) accumulate`within`cell`gap`junctions.
C) bind`to`contractile`microfilaments.
D) release`secretions`into`extracellular`fluid.
,5 Aerobic`metabolism,`also`known`as`oxidative`metabolism,`pr
ovides`energy`by:
A) removing`the`phosphate`bonds`from`ATP.
B) combining`hydrogen`and`oxygen`to`form`water.
C) activating`pyruvate`stored`in`the`cytoplasm.
D) breaking`down`glucose`to`form`lactic`acid.
6 Exocytosis,`the`reverse`of`endocytosis,`is`important`in
`into`the`extracellular`fluid.
A) Engulfing`and`ingesting`fluid`and`proteins`for``tran
sport
B) Killing,`degrading,`and`dissolving`harmful`microo
rganisms
C) Removing`cellular`debris`and`releasing``synthesize
d`substances
D) Destruction`of`particles`by`lysosomal`enzymes`f
or`secretion
7 The`process`responsible`for`generating`and`conducting`mem
brane`potentials`is:
A) diffusion`of`current-carrying`ions.
B) millivoltage`of`electrical`potential.
C) polarization`of`charged`particles.
D) ion`channel`neurotransmission.
8 Epithelial`tissues`are`classified`according`to`the`shape`of`the`cell
s`and`the`number`of`layers.`Which`of`the`following`is`a`correctly
`matched`description`and`type`of`epithelial`tissue?
A) Simple`epithelium:`cells`in`contact`with``interce
llular`matrix;`some`do`not`extend`to``surface
, B) Stratified`epithelium:`single`layer`of`cells;`all`ce
lls`rest`on`basement`membrane
C) Glandular`epithelium:`arise`from`surface``epith
elia`and`underlying`connective`tissue
D) Pseudostratified`epithelium:`multiple`layers`of`
cells;`deepest`layer`rests`on`basement`membran

9 Connective`tissue`contains`fibroblasts`that`are`responsible`for:
A) providing`a`fibrous`framework`for`capillaries.
B) synthesis`of`collagen,`elastin,`and`reticular`fiber
s.
C) forming`tendons`and`the`fascia`that`covers``muscles
.
D) filling`spaces`between`tissues`to`keep`organs`in`pla
ce.
10 Although`all`muscle`tissue`cells`have`some`similarities,`smo
oth`muscle`(also`known`as`involuntary`muscle)`differs`by:
A) having`dense`bodies`attached`to`actin``filaments
.
B) containing`sarcomeres`between`Z`lines`and`M`band
s.
C) having`rapid`contractions`and`abundant`cross-
`striations.
D) contracting`in`response`to`increased`intracellula
r`calcium.
11 Which`of`the`following`aspects`of`the`function`of`the`nucleus`is`
performed`by`ribosomal`RNA`(rRNA)?
A) Copying`and`carrying`DNA`instructions`for``protei
