Chapter 01 - Cell Structure and Function
t t t t t t
1. The nucleus
t t , which is essential for function and survival of the cell.
t t t t t t t t t t
A) is the site of protein synthesis
t t t t t
B) contains the genetic code t t t
C) transforms cellular energy t t
D) initiates aerobic metabolism t t
2. Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power plants of the cell because
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
they:
t
A) contain RNA for protein synthesis.
t t t t
B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.
t t t t
C) extract energy from organic compounds.
t t t t
D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.
t t t t t
3. Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a lipid bilayer, most of the
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
specific membrane functions are carried out by:
t t t t t t t
A) bound and transmembrane proteins.
t t t
B) complex, long carbohydrate chains. t t t
C) surface antigens and hormone receptors.
t t t t
D) a gating system of selective ion channels.
t t t t t t
4. To effectively relay signals, cell-to-cell communication utilizes chemical messenger systems that:
t t t t t t t t t t
A) displace surface receptor proteins. t t t
B) accumulate within cell gap junctions. t t t t
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.

5. Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism, provides energy by:
t t t t t t t t t
A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP.
t t t t t
B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water.
t t t t t t
C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm.
t t t t t
D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid.
t t t t t t
6. Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in
t t t t t t t t into the extracellular fluid.
t t t
A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins for transport
t t t t t t t
B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful microorganisms
t t t t t
C) Removing cellular debris and releasing synthesized substances
t t t t t t
D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion
t t t t t t t
7. The process responsible for generating and conducting membrane potentials is:
t t t t t t t t t
A) diffusion of current-carrying ions.
t t t
B) millivoltage of electrical potential. t t t
C) polarization of charged particles. t t t
D) ion channel neurotransmission.

8. Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the number of layers. Which of the
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
following is a correctly matched description and type of epithelial tissue?
t t t t t t t t t t t
A) Simple epithelium: cells in contact with intercellular matrix; some do not extend to surface
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
B) Stratified epithelium: single layer of cells; all cells rest on basement membrane
t t t t t t t t t t t
C) Glandular epithelium: arise from surface epithelia and underlying connective tissue
t t t t t t t t t
D) Pseudostratified epithelium: multiple layers of cells; deepest layer rests on basement membrane
