NA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




a. A single circular chromosome
U/ U/ U/




b. A nucleus U/




c. Free-floating nuclear material U/ U/




d. No organelles U/




ANS: B U/




The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its nuc
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/



leus; thus, the nucleus should be observed.
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokaryotic cells, which do not have histones
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/


.

Free-
floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleus.
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded cellular components called organelles. No organelles
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U



describes a prokaryotic cell.

ergy?

a. Metabolic absorption U/




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

,ANS: D U/




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




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

ation.

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




The ability of the cell to synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere refers to the ce
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/



lls function of secretion.

3. A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA replication. In which region of the cell would most
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U



of the genetic information be contained?
/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




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


ANS: C U/




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



acid, most of the DNA, and DNA-binding proteins, is the nucleolus.
/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration.
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




The ribosomes are involved in manufacturing of proteins within the cell.
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




The nucleus contains the nucleolus, and it is the nucleolus that contains genetic material.
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




4. The fluid mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior. According
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/



to this model, which of the following float singly or as aggregates in the fluid lipid bilayer?
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




a. Peripheral membrane proteins U/ U/




b. Integral membrane proteins
U/ U/

, c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion molecules
U/ U/




ANS: B U/




Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer.
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




Peripheral membrane proteins are not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface. Glycopr
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




oteins act as cell surface markers.
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




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




5. Which of the following can bind to plasma membrane receptors?
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




a. Oxygen
b. Ribosomes
c. Amphipathic lipids U/




d. Ligands


ANS: D U/




Ligands are specific molecules that can bind with receptors on the cell membrane. Ox
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




ygen moves by diffusion; it does not bind to receptors.
U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/ U/




Ribosomes make proteins and are not involved in bindin
