MULTIPLE CHOICE v




1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoiled DNA
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




a. A single circular chromosome
v v v




b. A nucleus v




c. Free-floating nuclear material v v




d. No organelles v




ANS: B v




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



nucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed.
v v v v v v v




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




Free-floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct
v v v v v v v v v v v v



nucleus.
v




Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded cellular components called organelles. No organelles
v v v v v v v v v v



describes a prokaryotic cell.
v v v v




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



describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to transform nutrients to energy?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Metabolic absorption v




b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration

,ANS: D v




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




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



communication.
v




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




The ability of the cell to synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere refers to the cells
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



function of secretion.
v v v




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



the genetic information be contained?
v v v v v




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


ANS: C v




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



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




The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration.
v v v v v v v




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




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




4. The fluid mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior. According to
v v v v v v v v v v v



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




a. Peripheral membrane proteins v v




b. Integral membrane proteins v v

, c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion molecules
v v




ANS: B v




Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer.
v v v v v v v v v




Peripheral membrane proteins are not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




Glycoproteins act as cell surface markers.
v v v v v v




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




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




a. Oxygen
b. Ribosomes
c. Amphipathic lipids v




d. Ligands


ANS: D v




Ligands are specific molecules that can bind with receptors on the cell membrane.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




Oxygen moves by diffusion; it does not bind to receptors.
v v v v v v v v v v




Ribosomes make proteins and are not involved in binding.
v v v v v v v v




Amphipathic lipids are a portion of the cell membrane.
v v v v v v v v v




6. A nurse is reviewing a report from a patient with metastatic cancer. What finding would
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



support the diagnosis of metastatic cancer? Alterations in extracellular matrix that include:
v v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Decreased fibronectin v




b. Increased collagen v




c. Decreased elastin v
