bilirubin level and icterus. Your concern is that this child may
have:
a. physiologic jaundice
b. kernicterus
c. glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
d. pathologic jaundice
Lysosomes
Which cell component is capable of cellular autodigestion when it
is released during cell injury?
,a. lysosomes
b. ribosomesc. smooth endoplasmi
c reticulum
d. golgi complex
Which component of the cell produces hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) by using oxygen to remove hydrogen
atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative
reaction?
A) lysosomes
B) peroxisomes
C) ribosomes
D) oxyhydrosomes
Ans: B- peroxisomes
Contain organelles and complex internal membranes
The difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is that
eukaryotes:
a. all of these answers are correct
b. are smaller in size
c. contain organelles
d. have no nuclear membrane
What is a consequence of plasma membrane damage
to the mitochondria?
A) enzymatic digestion halts deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) synthese
B) influx of calcium ions halts adenosine triphosphate
,(ATP) production
C) edema from an influx in sodium causes a reduction
in ATP production
D) potassium shifts out of the mitochondria, which
destroys the infrastructure
Ans: B- influx of calcium ions halts adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
production
Packages protein for secretion to the outside of the
cell
Which of the following is function of Golgi?
a. Packages protein for secretion to the outside of the cell
b. Produces ATP for cell function
c. Contains hydrolytic enzymes
d. Is the site of protein synthesis in a cell
Which statement is a description of one of the
characteristics of apoptosis?
A) apoptosis involves programmed cell death of
scattered singel cells
B) apoptosis is characterized by the swelling of the
nucleus and the cytoplasm
C) apoptosis involves unpredictable patterns of cell
death
D) apoptosis results in benign malignancies
Ans: A- apoptosis involves programmed cell death of scattered
singel cells
, During cell injury caused by hypoxia, sodium and
water move into the cell because:
A) during cell injury cause by hypoxia, sodium and
water move into the cell because:
B) the pump that transports sodium out of the cell
cannot function because of a decrease in adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) levels
C) the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls
additional sodium across the cell membrane
D) oxygen is not available to bind with sodium to
maintain it outside of the cell
Ans: C- the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls additional
sodium across the cell membrane
Is the site of protein synthesis in a cell
Which of the following is function of the rough endoplasmic
reticulum?
a. Contains hydrolytic enzymes
b. Is the site of protein synthesis in a cell
c. Packages protein for secretion to the outside of the cell
d. Produces ATP for cell function
Obesity creates a greater risk for dehydration in
people because:
A) adipose cells contain little water because fat is
water repelling
B) the metabolic rates of obese adults are slower than
