a. Mitochondria

The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed largely of RNA, most o

3. Which component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by using oxygen to remove

hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



a. Lysosomes

Chapter 1 - Cellular Biology
hg hg hg hg 3

, Pathophysiology The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children 8th Edition 97803235834
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain enzymes that use oxygen to remove h

ydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction that produces H2O2, which is a

Ribosomes are RNA- hg hg



protein complexes (nucleoproteins) that are synthesized in the nucleolus and secreted into the

4. Which cell component is capable of cellular autodigestion when it is released during cell

injury?
a. Ribosome
b. Golgi complex hg



c. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum hg hg



d. Lysosomes

ANS: D hg



The lysosomal membrane acts as a protective shield between the powerful digestive enzymes withi
