301 Questions Q1–Q301
Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 537 NURS 5350 Exam 1 Units 1-4
What are the two major classes of living cells?
CORRECT ANSWER
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
RATIONALE
Cells are fundamentally classified into prokaryotic cells, lacking a true nucleus and
membrane-bound organelles, and eukaryotic cells, possessing both a nucleus and
specialized organelles. This primary distinction in cellular organization forms the basis
of the two major domains of life.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 537 NURS 5350 Exam 1 Units 1-4
What is a Prokaryote cell?
CORRECT ANSWER
Characterized by a LACK of distinct nucleus.
RATIONALE
Prokaryotic cells are defined by their simpler structure, lacking a membrane-bound
nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, distinguishing them from eukaryotic
cells. This fundamental difference in cellular organization is the hallmark of prokaryotes.
, Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 537 NURS 5350 Exam 1 Units 1-4
What are examples of Prokaryotes?
CORRECT ANSWER
Cyanbacteria, Bacteria, and Rickettsiae.
RATIONALE
Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other
organelles, with examples including the domains Bacteria and Archaea, which
encompass organisms like cyanobacteria and rickettsiae. The key concept tested is the
definition and classification of prokaryotic organisms within biological taxonomy.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 537 NURS 5350 Exam 1 Units 1-4
What is a Eukaryote cell?
CORRECT ANSWER
Cells WITH A WELL-DEFINED NUCLEUS and membrane bound organelles.
RATIONALE
Eukaryotic cells are distinguished by their membrane-bound nucleus, which houses the
genetic material, and other membrane-enclosed organelles like mitochondria and the
endoplasmic reticulum. This compartmentalization allows for specialized functions
within the cell.
, Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 537 NURS 5350 Exam 1 Units 1-4
What are examples of Eukaroytes?
CORRECT ANSWER
Higher animals, Plants, Fungi, and Protozoa.
RATIONALE
Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound
organelles, distinguishing them from prokaryotes; examples include multicellular life
like animals and plants, as well as unicellular organisms such as fungi and protozoa. This
question tests the understanding of fundamental cell biology distinctions between
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cellular structures.
Q6 QUESTION 6 OF 537 NURS 5350 Exam 1 Units 1-4
What are the cellular functions?
CORRECT ANSWER
movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion, excretion,
respiration, reproduction, communication.
RATIONALE
Cellular functions encompass a broad range of activities including locomotion via
cytoskeleton, electrical signal propagation across membranes, nutrient uptake,
product release, waste removal, energy production through metabolic pathways,
replication for tissue maintenance and growth, and intercellular signaling. This
comprehensive list highlights the diverse and dynamic processes that enable cells to
sustain life and interact within multicellular organisms.
