VERSION
A 3-day old infant is noted to have a mildly elevated unconjugated
bilirubin level and icterus. Your concern is that this child may have:
a. physiologic jaundice
b. kernicterus
c. glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
d. pathologic jaundice ------------Correct Answer--------------------
physiologic jaundice
Which cell component is capable of cellular autodigestion when it is
released during cell injury?
a. lysosomes
b. ribosomesc. smooth endoplasmi
c reticulum
d. golgi complex ------------Correct Answer--------------------Lysosomes
,Ans: B- peroxisomes ------------Correct Answer--------------------Which
component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by using
oxygen to remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an
oxidative reaction?
A) lysosomes
B) peroxisomes
C) ribosomes
D) oxyhydrosomes
The difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is that eukaryotes:
a. all of these answers are correct
b. are smaller in size
c. contain organelles
d. have no nuclear membrane ------------Correct Answer--------------------
Contain organelles and complex internal membranes
Ans: B- influx of calcium ions halts adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
production ------------Correct Answer--------------------What is a
consequence of plasma membrane damage to the mitochondria?
A) enzymatic digestion halts deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthese
,B) influx of calcium ions halts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production
C) edema from an influx in sodium causes a reduction in ATP
production
D) potassium shifts out of the mitochondria, which destroys the
infrastructure
Which of the following is function of Golgi?
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 ------------Correct Answer--------
------------Packages protein for secretion to the outside of the cell
Ans: A- apoptosis involves programmed cell death of scattered singel
cells ------------Correct Answer--------------------Which statement is a
description of one of the characteristics of apoptosis?
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
, Ans: C- the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls additional sodium
across the cell membrane ------------Correct Answer--------------------
During cell injury caused by hypoxia, sodium and water move into the
cell 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
Which of the following is function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
a. Contains hydrolytic enzymes
b. Is the site of protein synthesis in a cell
c. Packages protein for secretion to the outside of the cell
d. Produces ATP for cell function ------------Correct Answer-------------------
-Is the site of protein synthesis in a cell
