1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoiled DNAwith histones. Which of
la
the following would also be observed by the student?
tz

ANS: B
tz
sh
Sp
ne
la
The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its nucleus;thus, the nucleus should be
tz
observed.

la
A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokaryotic cells, which do not have histones.

Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded cellular components called organelles. No organellesdescribes a prokaryotic
cell. ne

The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of ribonucleic acid,most of the DNA, and DNA-
ne
binding proteins, is the nucleolus.
la
tz
sh
Sp
ne
The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration.
la
tz
sh
Sp
ne
The ribosomes are involved in manufacturing of proteins within the cell.
la
tz
sh

4. The fluid mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior. Accordingto this model, which of
ne
the following float singly or as aggregates in the fluid lipid bilayer?
la
tz

ANS: B
Sp
ne
la
tz
Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer.
sh
Sp
ne
la
Peripheral membrane proteins are not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface.Glycoproteins act as
tz
sh
cell surface markers.
Sp
ne
Cell adhesion molecules are on the outside of the membrane and allow cells to hook together.
