Comprehensive Review of Cellular
Alterations, Disease Mechanisms, and
Clinical Manifestations for APRN & NP
Students
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 5: A patient has chronic irritation
that causes one mature epithelial cell type to be replaced by another
mature epithelial cell type. This is best described as: - answerC.
Metaplasia[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 6: Which organelle modifies, sorts,
and packages proteins produced on the rough endoplasmic reticulum? -
answerA. Golgi complex[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 7: What is the primary purpose of
selective permeability of the cell membrane? - answerB. To maintain
internal homeostasis[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 8: Which statement best describes
apoptosis? - answerB. Programmed cell death[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 9: Which structure produces
ribosomal RNA subunits? - answerA. Nucleolus[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 10: Which finding most strongly
suggests malignant rather than benign cellular growth? - answerC. Invasion
of surrounding tissue[cite: 1]
, Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 11: Which cellular adaptation
occurs when decreased workload causes cells to become smaller? -
answerA. Atrophy[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 12: A patient develops enlargement
of cardiac muscle in response to chronic hypertension. Which adaptation is
occurring? - answerB. Hypertrophy[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 13: Which adaptation increases the
number of cells in a tissue? - answerA. Hyperplasia[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 14: Which cellular change involves
abnormal cellular maturation and organization? - answerA. Dysplasia[cite:
1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 15: A lipid-soluble substance
crosses the cell membrane directly without a transport protein or ATP.
Which process is this? - answerA. Simple diffusion[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 1: Which cellular structure contains
DNA and serves as a major control center for cell growth, metabolism, and
reproduction? – answer A. Nucleus[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 2: Which organelle is the primary
site of ATP production? - answerB. Mitochondrion[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 3: A solute moves from an area of
higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without cellular
energy expenditure. Which process is occurring? - answerC. Diffusion[cite:
1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 4: Which change involves an
increase in cell size rather than an increase in cell number? - answerB.
Hypertrophy[cite: 1]
Chapter 1: Cellular Function - Question 16: Which transport mechanism
requires ATP to move a substance against its concentration gradient? -
answerA. Active transport[cite: 1]
