Pathophysiology) Expert Strategies-
Certified Q&A 2026
What are the properties of a eukaryotic cell - - correct-answer-• Well define
nucleus.
• cells are larger and have more extensive intracellular anatomy and organization
than do prokaryotes.
• cells bind with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and are involved in the super coiling
of DNA.
• cells have several chromosomes, protein production or synthesis
. it consists of three components: outer membrane called plasma membrane, a
fluid filling called cytoplasm, and the intra cellular organs or organelles
How do cells communicate with each other and the environment outside the cell -
- correct-answer-Cells communicate by using hundreds of signal molecules.
,2|Page
-they display plasma membrane-bound signaling molecules (receptor) that affect
the cell itself and other cells in direct physical contact
-they affect receptor proteins inside the target cell and the signal molecule has to
enter the cell to bind to them
-they form protein channels (gap juctions) that directly coordinate the activities of
adjacent cells.
responsable for cellular respiration and energy production - - correct-answer-
mitocondria
they provide sites for cellular protein synthesis - - correct-answer-ribosome
is the largest membrane bound organelle and is usually found in the cell center,
main function is cell division and control of genetic information - - correct-
answer-nucleus
,3|Page
is a small dense structure composed largely of RNA and combine it with proteins -
- correct-answer-nucleolus
are saclike structures that originate from the golgi complex and contain digestive
enzymes - - correct-answer-lysosomes
specializes in the synthesis and transport of the protein and lipid components of
most of the cells organelles - - correct-answer-endoplasmic reticulum
proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum are processed and packaged into small
membrane - - correct-answer-Golgi apparatus or complex
, 4|Page
membrane organelles that contain several oxidative enzymes such as catalase and
urate oxidase. those enzymes use oxygen to remove hydrogen in an oxidative
reaction that produces hydrogen peroxide. - - correct-answer-peroxisomes
it is the gelatinous, semiliquid portion of the cytoplasm. functions include:
intermediary metabolism involving enzymatic biochemical reactions; ribosomal
protein synthesis and storage of carbohydrates, fat and secretory vesicles - -
correct-answer-cytosol
maintains the cell's shape and internal organization - - correct-answer-
cytoskeleton
cells secrete local chemical mediators that are quickly absorbed, destroyed and
immobilized. - - correct-answer-paracrine
