1. The nucleus ap , which is essential for function and survival of the cell.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
A) is the site of protein synthesis
ap ap ap ap ap
B) contains the genetic code ap ap ap
C) transforms cellular energy ap ap
D) initiates aerobic metabolism ap ap
2. Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power pl
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
ants of the cell because they:
ap ap ap ap ap
A) contain RNA for protein synthesis. ap ap ap ap
B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.
ap ap ap ap
C) extract energy from organic compounds. ap ap ap ap
D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.

3. Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a lipid bi
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
layer, most of the specific membrane functions are carried out by:
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
A) bound and transmembrane proteins. ap ap ap
B) complex, long carbohydrate chains. ap ap ap
C) surface antigens and hormone receptors. ap ap ap ap
D) a gating system of selective ion channels.

4. To effectively relay signals, cell-to-
ap ap ap ap
cell communication utilizes chemical messenger systems that:
ap ap ap ap ap ap
A) displace surface receptor proteins. ap ap ap
B) accumulate within cell gap junctions. ap ap ap ap
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.
ap ap ap
D) release secretions into extracellular fluid.
ap ap ap ap
5. Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism, provides energy by:
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
, A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP. ap ap ap ap ap
B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water. ap ap ap ap ap ap
C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm. ap ap ap ap ap
D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid. ap ap ap ap ap ap
6. Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
into the ap a
p extracellular fluid. ap
A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins for transport ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful microorganisms
ap ap ap ap ap
C) Removing cellular debris and releasing synthesized substances ap ap ap ap ap ap
D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
7. The process responsible for generating and conducting membrane potentials is:
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
A) diffusion of current-carrying ions. ap ap ap
B) millivoltage of electrical potential. ap ap ap
C) polarization of charged particles. ap ap ap
D) ion channel neurotransmission.

8. Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the nu
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
mber of layers. Which of the following is a correctly matched description and
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
type of epithelial tissue?
ap ap ap
A) Simple epithelium: cells in contact with intercellular matrix; some do not e

xtend to surface ap ap
B) Stratified epithelium: single layer of cells; all cells rest on basement

membrane
C) Glandular epithelium: arise from surface epithelia and underlying c
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
onnective tissue ap
D) Pseudostratified epithelium: multiple layers of cells; deepest layer rests on b ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
asement membrane ap
9. Connective tissue contains fibroblasts that are responsible for:
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
A) providing a fibrous framework for capillaries. ap ap ap ap ap
B) synthesis of collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers.
