Chapter 1: Cellular Biology – Complete Test Bank (50 Questions)
Section A: Multiple-Choice Questions (Questions 1–40)
Question 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.
Answer: C
Rationale: In metabolic absorption, all cells take in and use nutrients and other substances from their
surroundings . This is a fundamental cellular function that allows cells to acquire the materials needed
, for metabolism, growth, and maintenance. The remaining options describe other cellular functions:
protein production (A) is synthesis, secretion of digestive enzymes (B) is a specialized function of certain
cells, and fat synthesis (D) is a specific metabolic pathway rather than the general function of metabolic
absorption.
Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering | Level: 1
Question 2
Where is most of a cell's genetic information, including RNA and DNA, contained?
A) Mitochondria
B) Ribosome
C) Nucleolus
D) Lysosome
Answer: C
Rationale: 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 histones) that regulate its activity . The
mitochondria (A) are responsible for cellular respiration and energy production. Ribosomes (B) function
to provide sites for cellular protein synthesis. Lysosomes (D) function as the intracellular digestive
system. The nucleolus is the primary site of ribosomal RNA synthesis and is where most genetic
information is housed.

Question 3
Which component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) by using oxygen to remove hydrogen
atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction?
A) Lysosomes
B) Peroxisomes
C) Ribosomes
D) Endosomes
Answer: B
Rationale: Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain enzymes that use oxygen to remove
hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction that produces H₂O₂ . Hydrogen
peroxide is a powerful oxidant and potentially destructive if it accumulates or escapes from
peroxisomes. Ribosomes (C) are RNA-protein complexes synthesized in the nucleolus. Lysosomes (A) are
saclike structures containing digestive enzymes. Endosomes (D) are vesicles pinched off from the cellular
membrane.
