to have a mildly elevated unconjugated bilirubin level and icterus.
Your concern is that this child may have:
a. physiologic jaundice
b. kernicterus
c. glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
d. pathologic jaundice
Lysosomes - CORRECT ANSWER-Which cell component is capable of
cellular autodigestion when it is released during cell injury?
a. lysosomes
b. ribosomesc. smooth endoplasmi
c reticulum
d. golgi complex
Which component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by
using oxygen to remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in
an oxidative reaction?
A) lysosomes
B) peroxisomes
,C) ribosomes
D) oxyhydrosomes - CORRECT ANSWER-Ans: B- peroxisomes
Contain organelles and complex internal membranes - CORRECT
ANSWER-The difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is that
eukaryotes:
a. all of these answers are correct
b. are smaller in size
c. contain organelles
d. have no nuclear membrane
What is a consequence of plasma membrane damage to the
mitochondria?
A) enzymatic digestion halts deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthese
B) influx of calcium ions halts adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
production
C) edema from an influx in sodium causes a reduction in ATP
production
D) potassium shifts out of the mitochondria, which destroys the
infrastructure - CORRECT ANSWER-Ans: B- influx of calcium ions halts
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production
Packages protein for secretion to the outside of the cell - CORRECT
ANSWER-Which of the following is function of Golgi?
a. Packages protein for secretion to the outside of the cell
,b. Produces ATP for cell function
c. Contains hydrolytic enzymes
d. Is the site of protein synthesis in a cell
Which statement is a description of one of the characteristics of
apoptosis?
A) apoptosis involves programmed cell death of scattered singel cells
B) apoptosis is characterized by the swelling of the nucleus and the
cytoplasm
C) apoptosis involves unpredictable patterns of cell death
D) apoptosis results in benign malignancies - CORRECT ANSWER-Ans:
A- apoptosis involves programmed cell death of scattered singel cells
During cell injury caused by hypoxia, sodium and water move into the
cell because:
A) during cell injury cause by hypoxia, sodium and water move into
the cell because:
B) the pump that transports sodium out of the cell cannot function
because of a decrease in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels
C) the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls additional sodium
across the cell membrane
D) oxygen is not available to bind with sodium to maintain it outside
of the cell - CORRECT ANSWER-Ans: C- the osmotic pressure is
increased, which pulls additional sodium across the cell membrane
, Is the site of protein synthesis in a cell - CORRECT ANSWER-Which of
the following is function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
a. Contains hydrolytic enzymes
b. Is the site of protein synthesis in a cell
c. Packages protein for secretion to the outside of the cell
d. Produces ATP for cell function
Obesity creates a greater risk for dehydration in people because:
A) adipose cells contain little water because fat is water repelling
B) the metabolic rates of obese adults are slower than those of lean
adults
C) the rates of urine output of obese adults are higher than thos of
lean adults
D) the thirst receptors of the hypothalamus do not function
effectively - CORRECT ANSWER-Ans: A- adipose cells contain little
water because fat is water repelling
Epigenetic modifications - CORRECT ANSWER-What genetic process is
likely responsible for the occurrence of asthma in only one of a pair
of identical twins?
a. genomic imprinting
b. epigenetic modifications
c. methylation
d. transgenerational inheritance
