MULTIPLE CHOICE hu
1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
hu supercoiled DNAwith histones. Which of the following would also be
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
observed by the student?
hu hu hu hu
a. A single circular chromosome
hu hu hu
b. A nucleus hu
c. Free-floating nuclear material hu hu
d. No organelles hu
ANS: B h u
The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
hu DNA within itsnucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
hu circular chromosome called a prokaryote contains free-floating nuclear
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
material but has no organelles.

2. A nurse is instructing the staff about cellular functions. Which cellular
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
hu function is the nurse describing when an isolated cell absorbs oxygen and
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
hu uses it to transform nutrients to energy?
hu hu hu hu hu hu
, a. Metabolic absorption hu
b. Communication
c. Secretion
d. Respiration
ANS: D h u
The cell’s ability to absorb oxygen is referred to as respiration while its
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
hu communication abilityinvolves maintenance of a steady dynamic state, metabolic
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
hu absorption provides nutrition, and secretion allows for the synthesizing of
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
hu new substances.
