1. Which statement best describes the cellular function of metabolic absorption?
I I I I I I I I I


a. Cells can produce proteins. I I I


b. Cells can secrete digestive enzymes. I I I I


c. Cells can take in and use nutrients. I I I I I I


d. Cells can synthesize fats. I I I




ANS: C I


In metabolic absorption, all cells take in and use nutrients and other substances from their
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I


surroundings. The remaining options are not inclusive in their descriptions of cellular
I I I I I I I I I I I I


metabolic absorption.

2. Where is most of a cell’s genetic information, including RNA and DNA, contained?
I I I I I I I I I I I I


a. Mitochondria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus
d. Lysosome
ANS: C I


The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed largely of RNA, most of
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I


the cellular DNA, and the DNA-binding proteins, such as the histones, which regulate its
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I


activity. The mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration and energy production.
I I I I I I I I I I I


Ribosomes’ chief function is to provide sites for cellular protein synthesis. Lysosomes
I I I I I I I I I I I


function as the intracellular digestive system.
