MULTIPLE CHOICE

Which statement best describes the cellular function of metabolic absorption?
Cells can produce proteins.
Cells can secrete digestive enzymes.
Cells can take in and use nutrients.
Cells can synthesize fats.
ANS: C
In metabolic absorption, all cells take in and use nutrients and other substances from th
eir surroundings. The remaining options are not inclusive in their descriptions of cellula
r metabolic absorption.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering

Where is most of a cell’s genetic information, including RNA and DNA, contained?
Mitochondria
Ribosome
Nucleolus
Lysosome
ANS: C
The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed largely of RNA, most
of the cellular DNA, and the DNA-
bindingAproteins, such as the histones, which regulate its activity. The mitochondria are respo
nsible for cellular respiration and energy production.
Ribosomes’ chief function is to provide sites for cellular protein synthesis. Lysosom
es function as the intracellular digestive system.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering

Which component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by using oxygen to remo
ve hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction?
Lysosomes
Peroxisomes
Ribosomes
Endosome
ANS: B
