Koeppen: Berne and Levy Physiology, 7th Edition Chapter 01: Principles of Cell Function Test Bank Multiple Choice 1. The subcellular structure that degrades proteins is called the: A. Tight junction B. Mitochondria C. Lysosome D. Plasma membrane E. Ribosome ANS: C 2. An experiment is done to measure the uptake of an amino acid into a cell. The following data are obtained: If Na + is removed from the extracellular bathing solution, or if a drug is added that prevents the cell from making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the uptake of amino acid into the cell is markedly reduced. According to this information, which of the following mechanisms is probably responsible for the transport of the amino acid into the cell? A. Passive diffusion through the lipid bilayer B. Uniporter C. Transport ATPase D. Na + symporter E. Na + antiporter ANS: D 3. A membrane permeable by only Na + separates two compartments containing Na 2 SO 4 , shown as follows: Electrodes are placed in both compartments, and a voltage is applied (that of compartment A is held at 0 mV). What voltage applied to compartment B would result in no net movement of Na + across the membrane separating the compartments? A. –60 mV B. –30 mV C. 0 mV D. +30 mV E. +60 mV ANS: E 4. The resting membrane potential of a cell is –85 mV.

Which of the labeled proteins (shaded) is attached to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor? ANS: E 7. A cell has channels for Na + , K + , and Cl – in its plasma membrane. The resting membrane potential is –60 mV (cell interior negative). The intracellular and extracellular concentrations for these ions, as well as the calculated Nernst potentials, are listed as follows: Ion Intracellular Concentration Extracellular Concentration E i Na + 14 mEq/L 140 mEq/L 60 mV K + 150 mEq/L 5 mEq/L –89 mV Cl – 10 mEq/L 100 mEq/L –60 mV A drug is applied to the cell that increases the permeability of the cell by Cl – (i.e., it opens Cl – channels).
