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

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

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

4. The fluid-mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
behavior. According to this model, which of the following float singly or as aggregates
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
in the fluid lipid bilayer?
g b-g b-g b-g b-g
a. Peripheral membrane proteins b-g b-g
b. Integral membrane proteins b-g b-g
c. Glycoproteins
d. Cell adhesion molecules b-g b-g
ANS: B b-g
Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
are not embedded in the layer, but reside at the surface. Glycoproteins act as cell surface
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
markers. Cell adhesion molecules are on the outside of the membrane and allow cells to hook
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
together.
