MULTIPLE CHOICE L




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



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



a. A single circular chromosome
L L L



b. A nucleus L



c. Free-floating nuclear material L L



d. No organelles L




ANS: B L



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



nucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome called a
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



prokaryote contains free-floating nuclear material but has no organelles.
L L L L L L L L L




REF: p. 2 L L




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



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



a. Metabolic absorption L



b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration
ANS: D L



The cell’s ability to absorb oxygen is referred to as respiration while its communication ability
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



involves maintenance of a steady dynamic state, metabolic absorption provides nutrition, and
L L L L L L L L L L L L



secretion allows for the synthesizing of new substances.
L L L L L L L L




REF: p. 2 L L




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



Lthe genetic information be contained?
L L L L



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




ANS: C L



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



acid, most of the DNA, and DNA-binding proteins, is the nucleolus, which is located within
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



the cell’s nucleus. Mitochondria is associated with cellular respiration, while ribosomes are
L L L L L L L L L L L L



involved with protein manufacturing. Cytoplasm is a fluid filling that is a component of the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



cell.
L

, 4. Which of the following can remove proteins attached to the cell’s bilayer by dissolving the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



L layer itself? L



a. Peripheral membrane proteins L L



b. Integral membrane proteins L L



c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion molecules L L




ANS: B L



Proteins directly attached to the membrane bilayer can be removed by the action of integral
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



membrane proteins that dissolve the bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins reside at the
L L L L L L L L L L L L



surface while cell adhesion molecules are on the outside of the membrane. Glycoprotein
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



marks cells and does not float.
L L L L L L




REF: p. 7 L L




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



a. Oxygen
b. Ribosomes
c. Amphipathic lipids L



d. Ligands
ANS: D L



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




REF: p. 9 L L




6. A nurse is reviewing a report from a patient with metastatic cancer. What alternation in the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



extracellular matrix would s uNp p oRr t t hIe dG
iagnBo.
si C
s ofM
metastatic cancer?
U S N T
L L L L L L L L


a. Decreased fibronectin L
L L L



b. Increased collagen L



c. Decreased elastin L



d. Increased glycoproteins L




ANS: A L



Only a reduced amount of fibronectin is found in some types of cancerous cells, allowing them
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



to travel or metastasize.
L L L L




REF: p. 10 L L




7. Which form of cell communication is used to relate to other cells in direct physical contact?
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



a. Cell junction L



b. Gap junction L



c. Desmosome
d. Tight junction L




ANS: A L



Cell junctions hold cells together and permit molecules to pass from cell to cell.
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



Gap junctions allow for cellular communication between cells. Neither desmosomes nor tight
L L L L L L L L L L L



junctions are associated with cellular communication.
