multiple choice
1. early evidence of the existence of the immune system was demonstrated by:
a) the plague could be transmitted through clothing
b) people who had survived the plague could care for those sick with the plague
c) microorganisms can be killed by heat
d) koch's postulates
e) all of the above
ANS>>b
explanation: people who had survived the plague could care for those currently infected
without becoming sick again, demonstrating early observations of acquired immunity.
this showed that surviving an infection could provide protection from reinfection, even
though the mechanisms were unknown at the time. this is a foundational historical
observation leading to our understanding of immune memory.
ref: p. 3
dif: easy
2. which of the following cellular structures transcribes (produces) rrna?
a) endoplasmic reticulum
b) nucleolus
c) golgi apparatus
d) lysosomes
ANS>>b
, explanation: the nucleolus, found within the eukaryotic cell nucleus, is the site of
ribosomal rna (rrna) transcription and ribosome assembly. it contains the genes for rrna
and the enzymes necessary for rrna synthesis.
ref: p. 9
dif: easy
3. a carbohydrate such as glucose is transported across cell membranes in eukaryotes via:
a) osmosis
b) facilitated diffusion
c) active transport
d) group translocation
ANS>>b
explanation: glucose is a large polar molecule that cannot cross lipid bilayers by simple
diffusion. in eukaryotes, it enters cells through specific carrier proteins by facilitated
diffusion, which allows movement down its concentration gradient without requiring
energy input.
ref: p. 12
dif: easy
4. an oxidative reaction to a molecule will cause it to:
a) gain electrons, lose protons and produce energy
b) lose electrons, lose protons and produce energy
c) gain electrons, lose protons and lose energy
d) gain electrons, gain protons and lose energy
ANS>>b
