and with other cells in direct physical contact?
A- protein channel (gap junction)
B- plasma membrane-bound signaling molecules
C- hormone secretion such as neurotransmitters

The cellular uptake of the nutrient cholesterol depends on which process?
A- receptor mediated exocytosis
B- antiport system
C- receptor-mediated endocytosis
D- passive transport - ANSWER_C- receptor mediated endocytosis
What causes the rapid change in the resting membrane potential to initiate an
action potential?
, A- potassium gates open, and potassium rushes into the cell, changing the
membrane potential from negative to positive
B- sodium gates open, and sodium rushes into the cell, changing the membrane
potential from negative to positive
C- sodium gates close, allowing potassium into the cell to change the
membrane potential from positive to negative
D- potassium gates close, allowing sodium into the cell to change the
membrane potential from positive to negative - ANSWER_B- sodium gates open,
and sodium rushes into the cell, changing the membrane potential from negative to
positive

D- fibroblast cells - ANSWER_C- connective tissue cells
What role do cytokines play in cell reproduction?
A- provide growth factor for tissue growth and development
B- block progress of cell reproduction through the cell cycle
C- restrain cell growth and development
D- provide nutrients for cell growth and development - ANSWER_A- provide
growth factor for tissue growth and development
What is the process of cellular reproduction?
