gy?

a. Metabolic absorption F!




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

,ANS: D F!




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




The ability of the cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of communicat

ion.

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




The ability of the cell to synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere refers to the cell
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!



s function of secretion.

3. A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA replication. In which region of the cell would most o
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!



f the genetic information be contained?
F! F! F! F! F!




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


ANS: C F!




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



cid, most of the DNA, and DNA-binding proteins, is the nucleolus.
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration.
F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




The ribosomes are involved in manufacturing of proteins within the cell.
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




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 t
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!



o this model, which of the following float singly or as aggregates in the fluid lipid bilayer?
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




a. Peripheral membrane proteins F! F!




b. Integral membrane proteins F! F!

, c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion moleculesF! F!




ANS: B F!




Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer.
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




Peripheral membrane proteins are not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface. Glycopro
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




teins act as cell surface markers.
F! F! F! F! F!




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




5. Which of the following can bind to plasma membrane receptors?
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




a. Oxygen
b. Ribosomes
c. Amphipathic lipids F!




d. Ligands


ANS: D F!




Ligands are specific molecules that can bind with receptors on the cell membrane. Oxy
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




gen moves by diffusion; it does not bind to receptors.
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




Ribosomes make proteins and are not involved in binding
F! F! F! F! F! F! F! F!




. Amphipathic lipids are a portion of the cell membrane.
