1 The nucleus e
, which is essential for function ands
e e e e e e e
urvival of the cell. e e e
A) is the site of protein synthesis e e e e e
B) contains the genetic code e e e
C) transforms cellular energy e e
D) initiates aerobic metabolism e e
2 Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are knownas
e e e e e e e e e e e
the power plants of the cell because they:
e e e e e e e
A) contain RNA for protein synthesis. e e e e
B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.
e e e e
C) extract energy from organic compounds.
e e e e
D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.
e e e e e
3 Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane isform
e e e e e e e e e e
ed by a lipid bilayer, most of the specific membrane functions ar
e e e e e e e e e e e
e carried out by:
e e e
A) bound and transmembrane proteins. e e e
B) complex, long carbohydrate chains. e e e
C) surface antigens and hormone receptors.
e e e e
D) a gating system of selective ion channels.
e e e e e e
4 To effectively relay signals, cell-to-
e e e e
cell communicationutilizes chemical messenger system
e e e e e
s that:
e
A) displace surface receptor proteins. e e e
B) accumulate within cell gap junctions. e e e e
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.
e e e
D) release secretions into extracellular fluid.
e e e e
,5 Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism,p
e e e e e e e
rovides energy by:
e e
A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP. e e e e e
B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form e e e e e e
water.
C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm. e e e e e
D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid. e e e e e e
6 Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in
e e e e e e e
e into the extracellular fluid.
e e e
A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins fortr e e e e e e e
ansport
B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful
e e e e e
microorganisms
C) Removing cellular debris and releasings e e e e e
ynthesized substances e
D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymesf e e e e e e
or secretione
7 The process responsible for generating and conductingmemb
e e e e e e e
rane potentials is:
e e
A) diffusion of current-carrying ions. e e e
B) millivoltage of electrical potential. e e e
C) polarization of charged particles. e e e
D) ion channel neurotransmission.

8 Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of thecells
e e e e e e e e e e
and the number of layers. Which of the following is a correctly
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
matched description and type of epithelial tissue?
e e e e e e
A) Simple epithelium: cells in contact with int
e e e e e e
ercellular matrix; some do not extend tosurf e e e e e e e
ace
,B) Stratified epithelium: single layer of cells; allc
e e e e e e e
ells rest on basement membrane
e e e e
C) Glandular epithelium: arise from surface e e e e e e
pithelia and underlying connective tissue
e e e e
D) Pseudostratified epithelium: multiple layers ofc e e e e e
ells; deepest layer rests on basement membrane
e e e e e e
9 Connective tissue contains fibroblasts that are responsible for:
e e e e e e e
A) providing a fibrous framework for capillaries. e e e e e
B) synthesis of collagen, elastin, and reticularfi
e e e e e e
bers.
C) forming tendons and the fascia that covers
e e e e e e e
muscles.
D) filling spaces between tissues to keep organs inpl
e e e e e e e e
ace.
10 Although all muscle tissue cells have some similarities, smoo
e e e e e e e e
th muscle (also known as involuntary muscle) differsby:
e e e e e e e e
A) having dense bodies attached to actinfi
e e e e e e
laments.
B) containing sarcomeres between Z lines and Mb e e e e e e e
ands.
C) having rapid contractions and abundant cross-
e e e e e
striations.
e
D) contracting in response to increasedi e e e e e
ntracellular calcium. e
11 Which of the following aspects of the function of the nucleusis p
e e e e e e e e e e e e
erformed by ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
e e e e
A) Copying and carrying DNA instructions forprote e e e e e e
in synthesis e
, B) Carrying amino acids to the site of proteins
e e e e e e e e
ynthesis
C) Providing the site where protein synthesiso

D) Regulating and controlling protein synthesise e e e
12 Breakdown and removal of foreign substances and worn-
e e e e e e e
outcell parts are performed by which of the following organelle
e e e e e e e e e e
s?
A) Lysosomes
B) Golgi apparatus e
C) Ribosomes
D) Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) e e
13 Impairment in the function of peroxisomes would result in:
e e e e e e e e
A) inadequate sites for protein synthesis. e e e e
B) an inability to transport cellular productsa
e e e e e e
cross the cell membrane.
e e e
C) insufficient energy production within a cell. e e e e e
