MULTI LE CHOICE
1. A student is observing a cell under the microsco e. It is observed to have su ercoiled DNA
with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
a. A single circular chromosome
b. A nucleus
c. Free-floating nuclear material
d. No organelles
ANS: B
The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a su ercoiled DNA within its
nucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome called a
rokaryote contains free-floating nuclear material but has no organelles.
REF: . 2
2. A nurse is instructing the staff about cellular functions. Which cellular function is the nurse
describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and uses it to transform nutrients to energy?
a. Metabolic absor tion
b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Res iration
ANS: D NURSINGTB.COM
The cell’s ability to absorb oxygen is referred to as res iration while its communication ability
involves maintenance of a steady dynamic state, metabolic absor tion rovides nutrition, and
secretion allows for the synthesizing of new substances.
REF: . 2
3. A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA re lication. In which region of the cell would most of the
genetic information be contained?
a. Mitochondria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus
d. Nucleus Cyto lasm
ANS: C
The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of ribonucleic
acid, most of the DNA, and DNA-binding roteins, is the nucleolus, which is located within the
cell’s nucleus. Mitochondria is associated with cellular res iration, while ribosomes are involved
with rotein manufacturing. Cyto lasm is a fluid filling that is a com onent of the cell.
