Question 6

Question
Pancreatic islet cells were cultured in a medium containing radio-labeled amino acids. Every five minutes, a sample of cells were removed from the culture, washed and fractionated. The radioactivity of each fraction was then measured. The results showed that in the first five minutes, most of the radioactivity was found in the rough ER. After 30 minutes, most of the radioactivity was found in the Golgi body. After 60 minutes, almost all of the radioactivity was found in the cell membrane. Which of the following is most likely the identity and function of the radio-labeled protein?
Answer
  • A hormone to lower blood glucose concentrations.
  • A hormone to raise blood glucose concentrations.
  • An enzyme to oxidize glucose in the pancreas.
  • A receptor for a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose concentrations.
  • A neurotransmitter involved in appetite regulation.

Question 7

Question
Which of the following shows the correct sequence of events regarding the radio-labeled protein in the cell from question 6?
Answer
  • Nucleus --> cytoplasm --> ribosome --> rough ER --> Golgi --> exocytosis
  • Nucleus --> rough ER --> Golgi --> membrane --> exocytosis
  • Rough ER --> Golgi --> membrane
  • Rough ER --> Golgi --> membrane --> exocytosis
  • Rough ER --> Golgi --> lysosome --> membrane

Question 8

Question
Which of the following best describes the mechanism of transport if a substance is observed to move down its concentration gradient (from high to low concentration) across a cell membrane at a much faster rate than expected by simple diffusion, but without the hydrolysis of ATP?
Answer
  • Osmosis
  • Facilitated diffusion
  • Active diffusion
  • Active transport
  • Cyclosis

Question 9

Question
Which of the following is a membrane-bound molecule responsible for active transport?
Answer
  • Glycolipid
  • Protein
  • Phospholipid
  • Cholesterol
  • ATP

Question 10

Question
Red blood cells moved from an isotonic medium into distilled water would most likely
Answer
  • shrivel.
  • swell and lyse.
  • not change.
  • become sickle shaped.
  • undergo apoptosis.

Question 11

Question
A plant cell removed from a healthy, well-watered plant into an isotonic medium would most likely
Answer
  • become turgid.
  • become flaccid.
  • swell and lyse.
  • elongate.
  • undergo apoptosis.

Question 12

Question
Dialysis tubing contains tiny holes through which only small molecules like water can pass. A dialysis bag containing a 10 percent sucrose solution is placed in a beaker of distilled water. After two hours, the bag increased in mass by 50 percent. Which of the following is a reasonable interpretation of this observation.
Answer
  • Sucrose left the bag and entered the beaker.
  • Sucrose entered the bag from the beaker by osmosis.
  • Water entered the bag from the beaker by osmosis.
  • Water left the bag and entered the beaker by osmosis.
  • None of the answers are correct.

Question 13

Question
All of the following statements regarding cell size are true EXCEPT
Answer
  • Cells are small because their surface area is larger than their volume.
  • As cells grow, their surface area increases.
  • As cells grow, their volume increases.
  • As cells grow, their surface area to volume ratio decreases.
  • Large cells have a lower surface area to volume ratio.

Question 14

Question
All of the following are true of cells EXCEPT
Answer
  • They come from preexisting cells.
  • They all perform aerobic respiration to make ATP.
  • They all have membranes.
  • They all contain DNA and ribosomes.
  • Their small size permits the largest surface area to volume ratio for gas exchange.

Question 15

Question
Which of the following is the best match between the research technique and its use?
Answer
  • Light microscopy: to see the structures of bacteria and viruses
  • Electron microscopy: to study the interaction between protists in a sample of pond water
  • Cell fragmentation: to determine the metabolic functions of particular organelles.
  • Freeze fracture: to determine the location of cytosolic enzymes
  • Gel electrophoresis: to determine the source of DNA in the cell

Question 16

Question
All of the following are true regarding the cells of diploid, sexually reproducing, multicellular organisms EXCEPT
Answer
  • Somatic cells contain the same DNA because they arise from mitotic cell division of the zygote.
  • Different types result from differential gene expression.
  • Although the cells contain the same DNA, they contain different genes.
  • Most cells contain two copies of each autosomal gene.
  • Cells are diploid because they inherited one set of chromosomes from each parent.

Question 17

Question
All of the following are true of mitosis EXCEPT
Answer
  • Two genetic clones of the original cell are produced.
  • Genetic recombination does not occur.
  • Both diploid and haploid cells can undergo mitosis.
  • Only diploid cells can undergo mitosis.
  • Mitotic cell division occurs during growth and healing.

Question 18

Question
Which of the following is true of mitosis?
Answer
  • It is also called cytokinesis.
  • It is the same as binary fission.
  • It evenly distributes homologous chromosomes to daughter cells.
  • DNA replication occurs during prophase.
  • It maintains chromosome number from parent cell to daughter cells.

Question 19

Question
Which of the following normally occurs during mitosis?
Answer
  • Homologous chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate.
  • Tetrads condense during prophase.
  • Replicated (sister) chromatids are pulled apart during anaphase.
  • Maternal and paternal chromosomes are separated.
  • The nuclear membrane breaks down during telopahse.

Question 20

Question
Which of the following best describes the significance of mitosis?
Answer
  • Symmetrical division of cytoplasm.
  • Accurate segregation of organelles.
  • High-fidelity DNA replication.
  • Provides a copy of each chromosome to each daughter cell.
  • Formation of gametes in animals.

Answer
  • 32
  • 64
  • 16
  • 8
  • 23

Question 22

Question
All of the following are true of meiosis EXCEPT
Answer
  • Diploid cells divide to produce four haploid cells.
  • Haploid cells dived to produce four haploid cells.
  • Genetic recombination occurs during prophase I
  • Microtubules pull chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase I and II
