Part 1: CENTRAL CONCEPTS OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGY:
CELLS AND TISSUES Unit I: THE CELL
CHAPTER 01: CELLULAR BIOLOGY
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which statement best describes the cellular function of metabolic
absorption?
a. Cells can produce proteins.
b Cells can secrete digestive
. enzymes.
c. Cells can take in and use
nutrients.
d Cells can synthesize fats.
.
ANS: C
In metabolic absorption, all cells take in and use nutrients and other
substances from their surroundings. The remaining options are not
inclusive in their descriptions of cellular metabolic absorption.

2. Where is most of a cell’s genetic information, including RNA and DNA,
contained?
a. Mitochon
dria
b Ribosome
.
c. Nucleolus
d Lysosome
.
ANS: C
The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed
largely of RNA, most of the cellular DNA, and the DNA-binding
proteins, such as the histones, which regulate its activity. The
mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration and energy
production.
Ribosomes’ chief function is to provide sites for cellular protein
synthesis. Lysosomes function as the intracellular digestive system.
