MULTIPLE CHOICE vv




1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoiled
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



DNA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




a. A single circular chromosome
vv vv vv




b. A nucleus vv




c. Free-floating nuclear material vv vv




d. No organelles vv




ANS: B vv




The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



vv nucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed.
vv vv vv vv vv vv




A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokaryotic cells, which do not have
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


histones.
vv




Free-floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



vv nucleus.

Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded cellular components called organelles. No
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



organelles describes a prokaryotic cell.
vv vv vv vv vv




2. A nurse is instructing the staff about cellular functions. Which cellular function is the
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to transform
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



vv nutrients to energy? vv vv




a. Metabolic absorption vv




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

,ANS: D vv




The ability of the cell to absorb oxygen refers to the cells function of respiration.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




The ability of the cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



vv communication.

The ability of the cell to take in nutrients refers to the cells function of metabolic
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


absorption.
vv




The ability of the cell to synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere refers to the
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



cells function of secretion.
vv vv vv vv




3. A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA replication. In which region of the cell would
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



most of the genetic information be contained?
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




a. Mitochondria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus
d. Nucleus


ANS: C vv




The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



ribonucleic acid, most of the DNA, and DNA-binding proteins, is the nucleolus.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




The ribosomes are involved in manufacturing of proteins within the cell.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




The nucleus contains the nucleolus, and it is the nucleolus that contains genetic material.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




4. The fluid mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



According to this model, which of the following float singly or as aggregates in the fluid
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



vv lipid bilayer?
vv




a. Peripheral membrane proteins vv vv




b. Integral membrane proteinsvv vv

, c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion molecules
vv vv




ANS: B vv




Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




Peripheral membrane proteins are not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




vv Glycoproteins act as cell surface markers. vv vv vv vv vv




Cell adhesion molecules are on the outside of the membrane and allow cells to hook
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


together.
vv




5. Which of the following can bind to plasma membrane receptors?
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




a. Oxygen
b. Ribosomes
c. Amphipathic lipids vv




d. Ligands


ANS: D vv




Ligands are specific molecules that can bind with receptors on the cell membrane.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




vv Oxygen moves by diffusion; it does not bind to receptors.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




Ribosomes make proteins and are not involved in
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




binding. Amphipathic lipids are a portion of the cell
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv




vv membrane.

6. A nurse is reviewing a report from a patient with metastatic cancer. What finding
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



would support the diagnosis of metastatic cancer? Alterations in extracellular matrix
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv



that include:
