Test Bank: Applied Pathophysiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse 2nd Edition
Dlugasch Story

Chapter 1 Cellular Function


1. The nucleus , which is essential for function and survival of the
cell.

B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.

C) extract energy from organic compounds.

D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.


3. Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a
lipid bilayer, most of the specific membrane functions are carried out by:

A) bound and transmembrane proteins.

B) complex, long carbohydrate chains.

C) surface antigens and hormone receptors.

D) a gating system of selective ion channels.


4. To effectively relay signals, cell-to-cell communication utilizes chemical
messenger systems that:

A) displace surface receptor proteins.
