MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoiled
DNA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
a. A single circular chromosome
b. A nucleus
c. Free-floating nuclear material
d. No organelles


ANS: B
The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its
nucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome is characteristic of
prokaryotic cells, which do not have histones. Free-floating nuclear material describes a
prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-
bound cellular components called organelles. No organelles describe a prokaryotic cell.


2. A nurse is instructing the staff about cellular functions. Which cellular function is
the nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to transform
nutrients to energy?
a. Metabolic absorption
b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

ANS: D
The ability of the cell to absorb oxygen refers to the cells function of respiration. The ability of
the cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of communication. The ability
of the cell to take in nutrients refers to the cells function of metabolic absorption.The ability of
the cell to synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere refers to the cells function of
secretion.

3. A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA replication. In which region of the cell would
most of the genetic information be contained?
a. Mitochondria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus
d. Nucleus

ANS: C
The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of ribonucleic
acid, most of the DNA, and DNA-binding proteins, is the nucleolus. The mitochondria is the site
of cellular respiration. The ribosomes are involved in the manufacturing of proteins within the
cell. The nucleus contains the nucleolus, and it is the nucleolus that contains genetic material.


4. The fluid-mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior.
According to this model, which of the following float singly or as aggregates in the fluid
lipid bilayer?

a. Peripheral membrane proteins
b. Integral membrane proteins
c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion molecules

ANS: B

Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins
are not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface. Glycoproteins act as cell surface
markers. Cell adhesion molecules are on the outside of the membrane and allow cells to hook
together.
