MULTIPLE CHOICE q
1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoiled D
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
NA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
q q q q q q q q q q q q q
a. A single circular chromosome
q q q
b. A nucleus
q
c. Free-floating nuclear material q q
d. No organelles q
ANS: B q
The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its nucleus; t
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
hus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokaryotic
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
cells, which do not have histones. Free-
q q q q q q
floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleus. Euk
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
aryotic cells have membrane-
q q q
bound cellular components called organelles. No organelles describe a prokaryotic cell.

nutrients to energy? q q
a. Metabolic absorption q
b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration
q
, ANS: D q
The ability of the cell to absorb oxygen refers to the cells function of respiration. The ability of the
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of communication. The ability of the
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
cell to take in nutrients refers to the cells function of metabolic absorption.The ability of the cell t
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
o synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere refers to the cells function of secretion.
