Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Interferons are substances naturally produced and released by human cells that have been invaded by viruses. They may also be released from cells in response to other stimuli, such as cytotoxic T-cell activity. Interferons do not stimulate B-lymphocyte activity, interfere with multiplication of stem cells, nor do they stimulate growth and differentiation of lymphoid cells into lymphocytes.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Ribosomes that are not bound to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum exist throughout the cytoplasm. These free-floating ribosomes produce proteins that are important to the structure of the cell and some of the enzymes that are necessary for cellular activity. Free-floating ribosomes do not bind themselves to Golgi apparatus; produce endoplasmic reticulum; or denature any part of the cell or its contents.
