Preface viii
Chapter 1. The Foundations of Biochemistry
ALL CHAPTERS HAVE MULTIPLE CHOICE AND EXPLAIN/DESCRIBE QUESTIONS
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. In A Bacterial Cell, The DNA Is In The:
A) Cell Envelope.
B) Cell Membrane.
C) Nucleoid. (correct)
D) Nucleus.
E) Ribosomes.
ANS: C
In bacterial cells, DNA is located in the nucleoid region, which is not membrane-bound like a nucleus
in eukaryotic cells. This allows for efficient replication and transcription in a simpler cellular structure.
2. A Major Change Occurring In The Evolution Of Eukaryotes From Prokaryotes Was The
Development Of:
A) DNA.
B) Photosynthetic Capability.
C) Plasma Membranes.
D) Ribosomes.
E) The Nucleus.
ANS: E
The development of the nucleus allowed for the compartmentalization of genetic material, which is a significant
advancement over prokaryotic cells. This compartmentalization supports more complex gene regulation and
cellular processes.
3. In Eukaryotes, The Nucleus Is Enclosed By A Double Membrane Called The:
A) Cell Membrane.
B) Nuclear Envelope.
C) Nucleolus.
D) Nucleoplasm.
E) Nucleosome.
ANS: B
The nuclear envelope consists of two lipid bilayers and is crucial for protecting the genetic material while
regulating transport in and out of the nucleus.
4. The Dimensions Of Living Cells Are Limited, On The Lower End By The Minimum Number
Of Biomolecules Necessary For Function, And On The Upper End By The Rate Of Diffusion
Of Solutes Such As Oxygen. Except For Highly Elongated Cells, They Usually Have Lengths
And Diameters In The Range Of:
A) 0.1 M To 10 M.
B) 0.3 M To 30 M.
C) 0.3 M To 100 M.
D) 1 M To 100 M.
E) 1 M To 300 M.
ANS: C
Most cells, with the exception of highly elongated ones like neurons, typically range from 0.3 to 100
micrometers. This size range allows for adequate surface area-to-volume ratio for nutrient uptake and waste
removal.
