Which of the following are formed when the plasma membrane surrounds a particle outside of the cell?

A. Golgi bodies

B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum

C. Secretory vesicles

D. Endocytic vesicles

Answer Explanation:

Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb larger molecules or even tiny organisms, such as bacteria, that would not be able to pass through the plasma membrane. Endocytic vesicles containing molecules from the extracellular environment often undergo further processing once they enter the cell.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #1: Which of the following answers shows CH4 +2O2=CO2 +H2O as balanced?

    A. CH4 + 2O2 = 2CO2 + 2H2O

    B. 2CH4 + 4O2 = 2CO2 + H2O

    C. 2CH4 + O2 = 2CO2 + H2O

    D. CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O

    Answer Explanation

    For the formula CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O to be balanced there must be an equal number of molecules on both the reactant and product sides. In this case, for the formula to be balanced, a coefficient of a 2 needs to be placed in front of the O2 and the H2O molecules. This would make both the reactant and product sides have one carbon, four hydrogens, and four oxygens

  • Q #2: Which of the following does NOT obey the law of independent assortment?

    A. Two genes next to each other on a chromosome

    B. Two genes on opposite ends of a chromosome

    C. Flower color and height in snapdragons

    D. Seed color and flower color in peas

    Answer Explanation

    Two genes next to each other (or within a specified close distance) are said to be linked. Linked genes do not follow the law of Independent assortment because they are too close together to be segregated from each other in meiosis.

  • Q #3: Homeostasis is defined as:

    A. Ability of human beings to keep body weight within normal limits

    B. Maintenance of a constant external temperature inside a room

    C. Ingestion of enough food to keep hunger pains from developing

    D. Tendency of the body to maintain a stable environment

    Answer Explanation

    Homeostatic mechanisms are involuntary actions by organs, glands, tissues and cells to maintain balance within the body. If a function is disrupted the body will readjust in an attempt to maintain balance. During periods of starvation the body will break down glucose reserves in order to maintain normal glucose levels.
