MULTIPLE CHOICE y1




1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoil
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


ed DNA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1




a. A single circular chromosome
y1 y1 y1




b. A nucleus y1




c. Free-floating nuclear material y1 y1




d. No organelles y1




ANS: B y1




The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its n
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


ucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome is characteristic of
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y


1prokaryotic cells, which do not have histones. Free-
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleu
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


s. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-
y1 y1 y1 y1


bound cellular components called organelles. No organelles describe a prokaryotic cell.
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1




2. A nurse is instructing the staff about cellular functions. Which cellular function
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


is the nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to transform
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


nutrients to energy? y1 y1




a. Metabolic absorption y1




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

ANS: D y1




The ability of the cell to absorb oxygen refers to the cells function of respiration. The ability
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


of the cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of communication. The
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


ability of the cell to take in nutrients refers to the cells function of metabolic absorption.The
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


ability of the cell to synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere refers to the cel
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


ls function of secretion.

, 3. A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA replication. In which region of the cell wou
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1



ld most of the genetic information be contained?
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1




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

ANS: C y1




The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of ribonucleic
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


acid, most of the DNA, and DNA-
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


binding proteins, is the nucleolus. The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration. The ribo
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


somes are involved in the manufacturing of proteins within the cell. The nucleus contains the
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y


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

4. The fluid- y1


mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior. According to t
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


his model, which of the following float singly or as aggregates in the fluid lipid bilaye
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


r?

a. Peripheral membrane proteins y1 y1




b. Integral membrane proteins y1 y1




c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion molecules
y1 y1




ANS: B y1




Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


are not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface. Glycoproteins act as cell surface ma
y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1 y1


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