Chapter 1Introduction to Pathophysiology
| | |
1. The nucleus | , which is essential for function and survival of the cell.
| | | | | | | | | |
A) is the site of protein synthesis
| | | | |
B) contains the genetic code | | |
C) transforms cellular energy | |
D) initiates aerobic metabolism | |
2. Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power
| | | | | | | | | | | |
plants of the cell because they:
| | | | | |
A) contain RNA for protein synthesis. | | | |
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. | | |
B) accumulate within cell gap junctions. | | | |
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.
| | |
D) release secretions into extracellular fluid.
| | | |
5. Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism, provides energy by:
| | | | | | | | |
,A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP. | | | | |
B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water. | | | | | |
C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm. | | | | |
D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid.
| | | | | |
6. Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in
| | | | | | | into the|
extracellular fluid.
| |
A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins for transport| | | | | | |
B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful microorganisms
| | | | |
C) Removingcellular debris and releasing synthesized substances| | | | | |
D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion | | | | | | |
7. Theprocess responsible for generating and conducting membrane potentials is:
| | | | | | | | |
A) diffusion of current-carrying ions. | | |
B) millivoltage of electrical potential. | | |
C) polarization of charged particles. | | |
D) ion channel neurotransmission.
| |
8. Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
number of layers. Which of the following is a correctly matched description
| | | | | | | | | | | |
and type of epithelial tissue?
| | | | |
A) Simple epithelium: cells in contact with intercellular matrix; some do not
| | | | | | | | | |
extend to surface
| | |
B) Stratified epithelium: single layer of cells; all cells rest on basement
| | | | | | | | | |
membrane
|
C) Glandular epithelium: arise from surface epithelia and underlying
| | | | | | |
connective tissue
| |
D) Pseudostratified epithelium: multiple layers of cells; deepest layer rests on | | | | | | | | |
basement membrane
| |
9. Connective tissue contains fibroblasts that are responsible for:
| | | | | | |
A) providing a fibrous framework for capillaries. | | | | |
B) synthesis of collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers.
| | | | | |
, C) forming tendons and the fascia that covers muscles.
| | | | | | |
D) filling spaces between tissues to keep organs in place.
| | | | | | | |
10. Although all muscle tissue cells have some similarities, smooth muscle (also
| | | | | | | | | |
known as involuntary muscle) differs by:
| | | | | |
A) having dense bodies attached to actin filaments.
| | | | | |
B) containing sarcomeres between Z lines and M bands. | | | | | | |
C) havingrapid contractions and abundant cross-striations.
| | | | |
D) contracting in response to increased intracellular calcium. | | | | | |
11. Which of the following aspects of the function of the nucleus is performed by
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
| | |
A) Copyingand carrying DNA instructions for protein synthesis
| | | | | | |
B) Carrying amino acids to the site of protein synthesis | | | | | | | |
C) Providing the site where protein synthesis occurs | | | | | |
D) Regulating and controlling protein synthesis | | | |
12. Breakdown and removal of foreign substances and worn-out cell parts are
| | | | | | | | | |
performed by which of the following organelles?
| | | | | | |
A) Lysosomes
B) Golgi apparatus |
C) Ribosomes
D) Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | |
13. Impairment in the function of peroxisomes would result in:
| | | | | | | |
A) inadequate sites for protein synthesis. | | | |
B) an inability to transport cellular products across the cell membrane.
| | | | | | | | |
C) insufficient energy production within a cell. | | | | |
D) accumulation of free radicals in the cytoplasm. | | | | | |
14. After several months of trying to conceive, a couple is undergoing fertility
| | | | | | | | | | |
testing. Semen analysis indicates that the mans spermhave decreased motility, a
| | | | | | | | | | | |
finding that is thought to underlie the couples inability to become pregnant.
