c. Cells can take in and use
nutrients.
44 44 44 44 44




d. Cells can synthesize fats. 44 44 44




ANS: C 4 4




In metabolic absorption, all cells take in and use nutrients and other
44 44 44 44 44 4 4 44 4 44 44




substances from their surroundings. The remaining options are not
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




inclusive in their descriptions of cellular metabolic absorption.

2. Whereismost of a cell’s genetic information, including RNA and DNA,
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




contained?
a. Mitochond
44




ria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus
d. Lysosome
ANS: C 4 4




The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




largelyofRNA, most of the cellular DNA, and the DNA-binding proteins, such as
44 4 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




the histones, which regulate its activity. The mitochondria are responsible for
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




cellular respiration and energy production.

3. Which component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by using
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




oxygentoremovehydrogen atoms from specific substratesin an oxidative

d. Endosome

ANS: B

, Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain enzymes that use oxygen to
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction that
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




produces H2O2, which is a powerful oxidant and potentially destructive if it
44
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




accumulates or escapes from peroxisomes. Ribosomes are RNA-protein complexes
44
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




(nucleoproteins) that are synthesized in the nucleolus and secreted into the cytoplasm
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




through pores in the nuclear envelope called nuclear pore complexes.
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




Lysosomes are saclike structures that originate from the Golgi complex and contain
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




more than 40 digestive enzymes called hydrolases, which catalyze bonds in proteins,
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. An endosome is a vesical that has been
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




pinched off from the cellular membrane.

4. Whichcellcomponent iscapableofcellularautodigestion whenit is
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44

digestive enzymes within the lysosome and the cytoplasm, preventing their
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




leakage into the cytoplasmic matrix. Disruption of the membrane by various
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




treatments or cellular injury leads to a release of the lysosomal enzymes,
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




which can then react with their specific substrates, causing cellular self-
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




digestion. The chief function of a ribosome is to provide sites for cellular
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




protein synthesis. The Golgi complex is a network of flattened, smooth
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




vesicles and membranes often located near the cell nucleus. The smooth
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




endoplasmic reticulum is involved in steroid hormone production and
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




removing toxic substances from the cell.

b. Secretion ofcortisol 44 44




c. Increased retentionof water 44 4 44




d. Breakdown of fat 44 44

Antidiuretic hormone leads to increased retention of water in the body. Epinephrine 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44




causes increasesinheart rateand forceofcontraction. Increased cortisol secretion is
44 44 44 4 44 44 44 44 4 44 44 44 44




due to ACTH. Breakdown of fat is due to glucagon.
