outside of the cell 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 Ans: A- apoptosis involves programmed cell death of
the characteristics of apoptosis? scattered singel cells
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
During cell injury caused by hypoxia, Ans: C- the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls
sodium and water move into the cell additional sodium across the cell membrane
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
