Patho NURS6501 Quiz 1
Eukaryotes - Answer--have membrane-bound intracellular compartments (organelles) that includes a
well defined nucleus. cells that bind with DNA and are involved in supercoiling of DNA
prokaryotes - Answer--no organelles, nuclear material is not encased by a nuclear membrane. Nuclei of
cells carry genetic information in a single circular chromosome and they lack histones
process of differentiation - Answer--cells become specialized and mature so that some cells eventually
perform one kind of function and the other cells perform other functions
Nucleus - Answer--is surrounded by the cytoplasm and is located in the center of the cell, is the largest
membrane-bound organelle. the primary function of the nucleus are cell division and control of genetic
information. other functions include replication and repair of DNA and the transcription of the
information stored in DNA.
Nucleolus - Answer--small dense structure composed largely of ribonucleic acid
eight chief cellular functions - Answer--Movement- Muscles cells can generate forces that produce
motion.
Conductivity - conduction as a response to a stimulus is manifested by a wave of excitation, an electrical
potential that passes along the surface of the cell to reach its other parts.
Metabolic absorption - all cells can take in and use nutrient and other substances from their
surroundings. Secretion - Certain cells, such as mucous gland cells, can synthetize new substances from
substances that absorb and then secrete the new substances to serve as needed elsewhere.
