MULTIPLE CHOICE gg
1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg supercoiled DNA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg by the student?
gg gg
a. A single circular chromosome
gg gg gg
b. A nucleus gg
c. Free-floating nuclear material gg gg
d. No organelles gg
ANS: B gg
The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg its nucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokaryotic cells, which do not have
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
histones.
gg
Free-floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg nucleus.
Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded cellular components called organelles. No organelles
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg describes a prokaryotic cell.

2. A nurse is instructing the staff about cellular functions. Which cellular function is
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg the nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to transform
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg nutrients to energy? gg gg
a. Metabolic absorption gg
b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration
, ANS: D gg
The ability of the cell to absorb oxygen refers to the cells function of respiration.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
The ability of the cell to function within a society of cells refers to its function of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg communication.
The ability of the cell to take in nutrients refers to the cells function of metabolic
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
absorption.
gg
The ability of the cell to synthesize new substances and secrete these elsewhere refers to the
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg cells function of secretion.

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

4. The fluid mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg According to this model, which of the following float singly or as aggregates in
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg the fluid lipid bilayer?
gg gg gg
a. Peripheral membrane proteins gg gg
b. Integral membrane proteins gg gg
