Which of the following statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is TRUE? A B C D E

7

What is the term used to describe the netlike array of protein filaments that maintains the shape of the nucleus? A B C D E

8

nucleolus chromatin chromosomes nuclear lamina nuclear envelope

Which of the following INCORRECTLY matches an organelle with its function? A B C D E

9

As a cell increases in size, its volume grows proportionately more than its surface area. Cells with more convoluted surfaces have larger surface-to-volume ratios than cells with smooth surfaces. Cells involved in uptake of materials with their environment have large surface areas without greatly increasing their volume. Because of limitations in the surface-to-volume ratio, larger organisms generally do not have larger-volume cells when compared to smaller organisms. All of the above are TRUE statements.

lysosome : movement central vacuole : storage ribosome : manufactures proteins mitochondrion : cellular respiration nucleus : contains most of the genes

Cells can incorporate radioactively labeled amino acids into their proteins. This "tagging" of newly synthesized proteins enables a researcher to track the location of these proteins in a cell. Imagine an enzyme that will eventually be secreted by cells in the small intestine. Which of the following is the most likely pathway for the movement of this protein in the cell? A B C D E

ER -> Golgi -> nucleus nucleus -> ER -> Golgi Golgi -> ER -> lysosome ER -> Golgi -> vesicles that fuse with plasma membrane ER -> lysosomes -> vesicles that fuse with plasma membrane

Which of the following is usually formed by phagocytosis? A B C D E

11

The central vacuoles of plant cells perform all of the following functions EXCEPT A B C D E

12

C D E

Small vesicles are important to the endomembrane system. The Golgi apparatus functions in the modification and sorting of lipids and proteins. Most of the phospholipids of the endomembrane system are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins that will be secreted from the cell are likely to be found in closed spaces bounded by membranes of the endomembrane system. Direct physical contact among all the organelles of the endomembrane system is needed to permit movement of lipid and protein components among the organelles.

Which of the following organelles is NOT bound by a membrane? A B C D E

14

containing pigments that color the cells. storing inorganic ions, such as K+ and Cl-. producing ATP through photosynthetic reactions. acting as disposal sites for metabolic by-products. protecting the plant against predators by containing compounds that are poisonous or unpalatable.

Which statement describes a process that is NOT part of the function of the endomembrane system? A B

13

lysosome food vacuole central vacuole contractile vacuole endoplasmic reticulum

lysosome ribosome amyloplast peroxisome chromoplast

The endomembrane system includes A B C D E

stroma, thylakoids, grana, cristae, cisternae, and cytosol. the nucleus, ribosomes, nucleolus, chromatin, and chromosomes. mitochondria, chloroplasts, peroxisomes, amyloplasts, and chromoplasts. microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, centrioles, flagella and cilia. the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, various kinds of vacuoles, and the plasma membrane.

Chloroplasts are found in A B C D E

16

The observations that chloroplasts and mitochondria each contain their own DNA and that they synthesize some of their own proteins using prokaryotic-like ribosomes suggests that chloroplasts and mitochondria A B C D E

17

contraction of muscle cells movement of cilia or flagella production of important organic compounds movement of the chromosomes during cell division transmission of information from the cell surface to the interior of the cell

Which of the following components of the cytoskeleton is involved in the maintenance of cell shape? A B C D E

19

may be of prokaryotic origin. contain two or more membranes. are part of the endomembrane system. are produced by the nucleus of the cell. are involved in energy metabolism of the cell.

Which of the following cellular processes or characteristics is NOT related to the cytoskeleton? A B C D E

18

all cells. plant cells only. animal cells only. both plant and animal cells. animal cells and bacterial cells, but not in plant cells.

intermediate filaments microtubules (tubulin polymers) microfilaments (actin filaments) All of the above are involved in the maintenance of cell shape. None of the above is involved in the maintenance of cell shape.

Which statement about plant cell walls and the extracellular matrix of animal cells is CORRECT? A B C D E

These structures play no role in determining cell shape. Sugars and nucleic acids are common components of these structures. Information can be transferred from these structures to the cytoplasm. These structures provide for cytoplasmic connections between adjacent cells. both C and D are CORRECT
