Cellular Pathophysiology (40 questions)
,Q1. A patient with chronic alcoholism presents with fatty liver. Which cellular process is
primarily responsible for this condition?
A A) Increased fatty acid synthesis and decreased oxidation
B B) Decreased fatty acid synthesis and increased oxidation
C C) Increased ketogenesis and decreased lipogenesis
D D) Decreased glycogenolysis and increased gluconeogenesis
Correct answer: A. A) Increased fatty acid synthesis and decreased oxidation
Rationale: Chronic alcoholism leads to fatty liver by increasing fatty acid synthesis and
decreasing beta-oxidation. Alcohol metabolism produces NADH, which promotes
lipogenesis and inhibits fatty acid oxidation.
Why wrong:
B: Decreased fatty acid synthesis is not the mechanism.
C: Ketogenesis is not primarily increased in fatty liver.
D: Glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis are not the primary mechanisms.

, Q2. A patient with a deficiency in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is at risk
for hemolytic anemia when exposed to which trigger?
A A) Oxidative stress from fava beans or sulfa drugs
B B) Cold temperatures
C C) High carbohydrate intake
D D) Low oxygen environments
Correct answer: A. A) Oxidative stress from fava beans or sulfa drugs
Rationale: G6PD deficiency causes hemolytic anemia when exposed to oxidative stressors
like fava beans, sulfa drugs, and infections. G6PD is essential for producing NADPH to
maintain glutathione levels and protect red blood cells from oxidative damage.
Why wrong:
B: Cold temperatures cause cold agglutinin disease, not G6PD deficiency.
C: Carbohydrate intake is not a trigger for G6PD deficiency.
D: Low oxygen is not a trigger for G6PD deficiency.
