b. A nucleus ma
c. Free-floating nuclear material ma ma
d. No organelles ma
ANS: B ma
The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its nu
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
cleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed.
ma ma ma ma ma ma
A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokaryotic cells, which do not have histones.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Free-
floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleus.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded cellular components called organelles. No organelles
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
describes a prokaryotic cell.

ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
gy?
a. Metabolic absorption ma
b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration
, ANS: D ma
The ability of the cell to absorb oxygen refers to the cells function of respiration.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
The ability of the cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of communicat

3. A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA replication. In which region of the cell would most
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
of the genetic information be contained?
ma ma ma ma ma
a. Mitochondria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus
d. Nucleus
ANS: C ma
The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of ribonucleic a
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
cid, most of the DNA, and DNA-binding proteins, is the nucleolus.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration.

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