MULTIPLE CHOICE ov




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



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




a. A single circular chromosome
ov ov ov




b. A nucleus ov




c. Free-floating nuclear material ov ov




d. No organelles ov




ANS: B ov




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



us; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokar
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



yotic cells, which do not have histones. Free-
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleus.
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



Eukaryotic cells have membrane- ov ov ov



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
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



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



nutrients to energy? ov ov




a. Metabolic absorption ov




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

ANS: D ov




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



the cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of communication. The ability
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



of the cell to take in nutrients refers to the cells function of metabolic absorption.The ability of
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



the cell to synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere refers to the cells function of
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov o



secretion.

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




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




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

ANS: C ov




The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of ribonucleic aci
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



d, most of the DNA, and DNA-
ov ov ov ov ov ov



binding proteins, is the nucleolus. The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration. The riboso
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



mes are involved in the manufacturing of proteins within the cell. The nucleus contains the nucl
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



eolus, and it is the nucleolus that contains genetic material.

4. The fluid- ov



mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior. According to this
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



model, which of the following float singly or as aggregates in the fluid lipid bilayer?
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov




a. Peripheral membrane proteins ov ov




b. Integral membrane proteins ov ov




c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion molecules
ov ov




ANS: B ov




Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins ar
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



e not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface. Glycoproteins act as cell surface markers.
ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov ov



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