3. neurotransmitters are packaged into vesicles and then fuse with the cell membrane for release. this is
an example of:
a) pinocytosis.
b) phagocytosis.
c) exocytosis.
d) endocytosis. - answer-c) exocytosis.
4. what is a possible reason for increased risk for chromosomal abnormalities with older maternal age?
a) ova meiosis is complete by the time a girl is born thereby making them less likely to divide properly.
b) the older ova are more likely to have errors during meiosis
c) older ova are more likely to have p53 gene mutations.
d) ova are continuously produced thereby increasing the chance of creating defective ova. - answer-b)
the older ova are more likely to have errors during meiosis
1. protein hormones and enzymes are stored in the __________, awaiting signals to be released into the
cell.
a) food vacuole
b) golgi complex
c) rough endoplasmic reticulum
d) secretory vesicles - answer-d) secretory vesicles
2. low serum albumin levels (hypoalbuminemia) can cause edema because:
a) oncotic pressure increases.
b) oncotic pressure decreases.
c) osmotic pressure increases.
, Page 2 of 7
d) hydrostatic pressure decreases. - answer-b) oncotic pressure decreases.
5. dna that is transmitted from parents to offspring mainly comes from the:
a) mitochondria.
b) nucleolus.
c) ribosomes.
d) nucleus. - answer-d) nucleus.
29. children with pku must avoid phenylalanine in the diet. phenylalanine is most likely a component of:
a) fat
.b) sugar.
c) protein.
d) carbohydrate. - answer-c) protein.
6. a patient will be receiving stem cells obtained from a donor's blood (allogenic transplant) for leukemia
(abnormal white blood cells). these stem cells are categorized as multipotent because they can make:
a) multiple types of cells in the body
b) only white blood cells.
c) all types of blood cells.
d) differentiated cells that can become any cell. - answer-c) all types of blood cells.
28. what information should parents be given about the consequences of phenylketonuria (pku)?
a) mental retardation is inevitable.
b) pku is commonly associated with other congenital anomalies.
c) high dietary tyramine may help induce enzyme production.
d) failure to treat properly results in progressive mental retardation. ans: d - answer-d) failure to treat
properly results in progressive mental retardation.
