Chapter 1 Cellular Function
1. Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power plants of the
cell because they:
A) contain RNA for protein synthesis.
B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.
C) extract energy from organic compounds.
D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.
2. The nucleus , which is necessary for the cell to survive and
operate.
A) is the site of protein synthesis
B) contains the genetic code
C) transforms cellular energy
D) initiates aerobic metabolism
3. While a lipid bilayer forms the fundamental structure of the cell plasma
membrane, the majority of the particular membrane functions are
performed by:
A) bound and transmembrane proteins.
B) complex, long carbohydrate chains.
C) surface antigens and hormone receptors.
D) a gating system of selective ion channels.
, 4. Cell-to-cell communication uses chemical messenger systems to
efficiently relay signals that:
A) displace surface receptor proteins.
B) accumulate within cell gap junctions.
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.
D) release secretions into extracellular fluid.
5. Oxidative metabolism, another name for aerobic metabolism, produces
energy by:
A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP.
B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water.
C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm.
D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid.
6. The opposite of endocytosis, exocytosis, is crucial for--------------------
the extracellular fluid.
A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins for transport
B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful microorganisms
C) Removing cellular debris and releasing synthesized substances
D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion
7. Membrane potentials are produced and conducted by the following process:
A) diffusion of current-carrying ions.
B) millivoltage of electrical potential.
C) polarization of charged particles.
D) ion channel neurotransmission.
