Multiple Choice Questions on Cells Tissues and Organs Questions

Question 1 of 5

A. Muscle, nervous, connective and epithelial B. Muscle, nervous, connective, osseous and epithelial C. Muscle, nervous, connective, osseous, blood and epithelial D. Muscle, nervous, connective, glandular and epithelial

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: There are 4 major types(not 5 or 6). Osseous& blood are also connective, while glandular tissue is also epithelial.

Question 2 of 5

The process of "diffusion" through a membrane may be described by which of the following?

A. the movement of ions and molecules away from regions where they are in high concentration towards regions where they are in lower concentration. B. the use of energy from ATP to move ions and small molecules into regions where they are in lower concentration. C. the plasma membrane engulfs the substance and moves it through the membrane. D. the use of energy from ATP to move water molecules against their concentration gradient.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The choices with ATP are nonsense. While choice C refers to endocytosis.

Question 3 of 5

Which one of the following terms best describes a phospholipid. It consists of a:

A. polar head and polar tail B. non-polar head and a polar tail C. polar head and non-polar tail D. non-polar head and a non-polar tail

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Polar= hydrophilic head of phosphate(which can dissolve in the aqueous extracellular solution because water molecules are polar); non-polar= hydrophobic tails of lipid, which being non-polar, cannot dissolve in aqueous solutions.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following statements about "leak channels" in the plasma membrane is correct?

A. Proteins that form these channels bind to solutes to allow them to pass into the cell. B. They are passageways formed by proteins to allow water and ions to move passively through the membrane. C. They allow small ions and molecules to move between adjacent cells. D. They are formed by glycoprotein and proteoglycans to allow hormones to enter cells.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: This is the definition of leak channels. They may be "gated" which means shut until stimulated to open. J refers to facilitated diffusion.

Question 5 of 5

What is the tissue that covers the body surface and lines internal tubes called?

A. epithelial tissue B. connective tissue C. glandular epithelium D. muscle tissue

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Epithelial tissue has one surface "open" to the exterior or to the contents of the tube.
