Advanced Pathophysiology Exam 1ST
EDTION WITH FULL ANSWERS
Cellular Physiology - Prokaryotes - Correct Answer: • Prokaryotes [only cells for 3 billion years]

• single cell organism

• Cyanobacteria [blue-green algae]

• Bacteria

• Rickettsia

• [Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever]

• Bound by cellular membrane that carries out all activities

• Single circular chromosome for genetic information



Eukaryotes - Correct Answer: eu = good karyo = nucleus [large)

-complex intracellular anatomy

-organelles = membrane bound compartments of specialized function within the cell

- histones - bind with DNA

- chromosomes

- cell plasma membrane/cytoplasm carries organelles



Eukaryotes - Correct Answer: Found in :

- Higher organisms/plants {people}

- Fungi

- Protozoa

- Most algae



Cellular Communication - Correct Answer: Chemical messenger systems :

1. move from cell to cell through channels in the membrane

2. move into extracellular fluid

,3. bind to receptors on or near cell surface {first messenger)



Cellular Communication - Correct Answer: There are external signals converted to internal signals
carried by second messenger = Epigenetics: The cells do not interact just among themselves, they
interact within the environment - cell adaptation, evolution

4. second messenger triggers change



Plasma Membranes Magic mem-BRAIN - Correct Answer: 1. Structure

2. Protection

3. Activation

4. Transport

5. Cell to Cell interaction



Plasma Membranes Magic mem-BRAIN - Correct Answer: -Membrane "interacts intelligently" with
environment to produce behavior of other cellular components making it....

-The true brain of the cell = not the nucleus

*nucleus is just the microprocessor making copies of itself



Integral Membrane Proteins - IMPs - Correct Answer: A. Imbedded into the membrane-cell's "sense
organs" -Based inside the cell membrane.



Integral Membrane Proteins - Correct Answer: Phospholipids - contain polar and non-polar molecules)

1) Polar-able to "attract and interact" through chemical bonds

2) Non-Polar-have no polarity-unable to form chemical bonds but seek out non-polar environments -
lipid soluble)



Two Types Integral Membrane Poteins - Correct Answer: 1) *Receptor proteins*-"awareness proteins"
some protrude and some extend inward toward the interior cell-both monitor environments

a. Unique receptor for all environmental signals

b. Can "read" physical and vibrational energy fields such as light and radio frequencies

,*Effector proteins* = *action* - Correct Answer: *Effector proteins* = *action*

Three types:

Channel, Cytoskeletal, Enzymes



Effector Proteins - *Channel Receptors* - Correct Answer: 1) *Channel Receptors*-Respond to receptor
"stimuli"-transport proteins like channels from one side of membrane to another

A. Inactive and Active state



Effector Proteins - *Channel Receptors* Sodium - potassium ATPase - Correct Answer: EXP: sodium-
potassium ATPase = thousands in every membrane which use 1/2 of body's energy every day[shuttles 3
positive-charged Na atoms out of the cytoplasm admits 2 positive-charged K atoms into the cytoplasm]



Effector Proteins - *Channel Receptors*




Thus the cell is a *"self-charging battery* whose energy is used to empower biological processes
through whole body. - Correct Answer: Each revolution throws off more positive charges out of cell than
it lets in, therefore leaving the cell negatively charged with outside cell positively charged creating a
"membrane potential"



Effector Proteins continued - Correct Answer: 2) *Cytoskeletal* effector proteins regulate the shape and
motility of cells

3) *Enzymes* -break down or synthesizes molecules

- Action proteins conducting business of cell membrane and cell membrane function.

.



Nucleus -Transcription of genetic information by *RNA* = messenger to organells and directs cellular
activities-foremen to accomplish healthy living organism. - Correct Answer: -double membrane-nuclear
envelope

-Histones bind with DNA and cause it to fold into -chromosomes - prevent breakage)

-stores genetic information - blueprints)

-repair and replication of DNA

, Organelles - Correct Answer: A. Surrounded by individual biologic membranes allowing for different
biochemical environments - small city

1. synthesize proteins & hormones

2. transport proteins

3. isolation/elimination of waste

4. metabolic processes

5. Breakdown antigens

6. Maintain cellular structure & motility



Types of Organelles - Correct Answer: B. *Endoplasmic Reticulum*

-membrane factory that synthesizes/transports protein & lipid components of organelles - membrane
fatty for transprt

C. *Golgi Complex*

- director of macromolecular traffic



Types of Organelles - Ribosomes - Correct Answer: A. *Ribosomes*

-site for cellular protein synthesis

-Cellular respiration =Krebs cycle - responsible for oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP



Krebb's or Citric Acid Cycle - Correct Answer: 36 mols ATP produced.

-Oxidative phosphorylation is product of Kreb's cycle and glycolysis.

- ATP is much greater product in citric acid cycle compared to glycolysis.



Glycolysis - Correct Answer: Net 2 mols ATP per glucose - pyruvate cycle



Types of Organelles continue - Lysosomes - Correct Answer: A. Lysosomes contain digestive hydrolases

-lack of lysosomal alpha-q, 4-glucosidase yields accumulation of glycogen in lysosomes or Pompe
Disease

1. Tay-Sacks- accumulation of GM2 ganglioside
