UT TYLER FNP NURS 5350 Adv Pathology Exam 1
QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
1. Seven specialized cellular functions
ANS movement, conductivity, metabolic ab- sorption, secretion, excretion, respiration, and
reproduction
2. Nucleus
ANS aids in cell division and control of genetic info, contains DNA (think the egg yolk)
3. Ribosomes
ANS RNA-protein complexes; float freely in cytoplasm; provide sites for cellular protein
synthesis; packages and modifies protein for transportation and secretion
4. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
ANS specializes in the synthesis and transport of the protein and lipid components of most of
the cells organelles (memory factory)
5. Golgi complex
ANS Organelle that packages and distributes proteins into vesicles and transports within and
outside of cell (refining plant in cytoplasm; traffic cop- what goes in and out of cytoplasm)

, 6. Lysosomes
ANS An organelle containing digestive enzymes; digest and remove wastes, digest debris
from dead cells; if ruptured, they can digest cell contents; autodigestion occurs in starvation
7. Mitochondria
ANS Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production; pathway for
metabolism of carbs, lipids, and amino acids into ATP; to keep the cell alive; can grow and self-
replicate in the cell
8. Cytoskeleton
ANS A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in
movement; "bones and muscle" of the cell; have cilia to move it on out
9. Characteristics of plasma membrane
ANS made up of lipids and proteins; the basic component is a bi-layer of lipid molecules that are
responsible for the structural integrity of the membrane
10. The prevents water soluble molecules from entering cells
across the plasma membrane
ANS Phospholipid layer
11. Prokaryote
ANS unicellular organism lacking a nucleus; contains NO organelles (include cyanobacteria,
