MULTIPLE CHOICE jh




1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


supercoiled DNA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


student?
jh




a. A single circular chromosome
jh jh jh




b. A nucleus jh




c. Free-floating nuclear material jh jh




d. No organelles jh




ANS: B jh




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


nucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome is characteristic
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


of prokaryotic cells, which do not have histones. Free-floating nuclear material describes a
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


bound cellular components called organelles. No organelles describe a prokaryotic cell.
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh




2. A nurse is instructing the staff about cellular functions. Which cellular function
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


is the nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


transform
jh


nutrients to energy? jh jh




a. Metabolic absorption jh




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

ANS: D jh




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


of the cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of communication. The
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


ability of the cell to take in nutrients refers to the cells function of metabolic
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


absorption.The ability of the cell to synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


refers to the cells function of secretion.
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh

, 3. A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA replication. In which region of the cell
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh



would most of the genetic information be contained?
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh




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

ANS: C jh




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


acid, most of the DNA, and DNA-binding proteins, is the nucleolus. The mitochondria is the
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


site of cellular respiration. The ribosomes are involved in the manufacturing of proteins
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


within the cell. The nucleus contains the nucleolus, and it is the nucleolus that contains
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


genetic material.
jh jh




4. The fluid-mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


behavior. According to this model, which of the following float singly or as
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


aggregates in the fluid lipid bilayer?
jh jh jh jh jh jh




a. Peripheral membrane proteins jh jh




b. Integral membrane proteins jh jh




c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion molecules
jh jh




ANS: B jh




Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


are not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface. Glycoproteins act as cell surface
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


markers. Cell adhesion molecules are on the outside of the membrane and allow cells to
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh


hook together.
