Passive transport requires energy to move an uncharged molecule across a
semipermeable membrane.
True
False
✓ The answer is False
✓
✓ "In passive transport, water and small, electrically uncharged molecules move
easily through pores in the plasma membrane's lipid bilayer. Molecules will
easily flow downhill from a region of high concentration to a region of low
concentration, this movement is called passive because it doesn't require
expenditure of energy. It is driven by osmosis, hydrostatic pressure, and
diffusion, all of which depend on the laws of physics and do not require life"
(Brashers & Huether, 2019, p. 28).
_________ is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue resulting from an
increased rate of cellular division. Occurs as a response to injury that results when the
injury has been severe and prolonged. The main mechanism for _________ is the
production of growth factors, which stimulate the remaining cells to synthesize new
cell components and ultimately, to divide.
A. Hyperplasia
B. Metaplasia

✓ "Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue resulting

results when the injury has been severe and prolonged. The main mechanism for
hyperplasia is the production of growth factors, which stimulate the remaining
cells to synthesize new cell components and ultimately, to divide. Another
mechanism is increased output of new cells from tissue stem cells" (Brashers &
Huether, 2019, p. 48).
Cancers arising from mesenchymal tissue (including connective tissue, muscle, and
bone) usually end in what suffix?
A. Phoma
B. Kemia
C. Carcinoma
D. Sarcoma
✓ The answer is D
✓
✓ "Cancers arising from mesenchymal tissue (including connective tissue, muscle,
and bone) usually have the suffix sarcoma" (Brashers & Huether, 2019, p. 347).

Which of the following is a clinical manifestation of Hypocalcemia?
A. Negative Trousseau's sign
B. Tapping on the facial nerve below the temple and the nose/lip twitching
C. Coma
D. Serum Calcium level of 9.4 mg/dl
✓ THE ANSWER IS B. Tapping on the facial nerve below the temple and the
nose/lip twitching is also known as a positive Cvostek sign. The symptoms of
hypocalcemia are related to neuromuscular irritability. A positive Trousseau's
sign would be a manifestation of hypocalcemia, not a negative one. Serum
Calcium level would need to be below 8.5 mg/dl to indicate
hypocalcemia.(McCance et al. 2014, p. 120).
Which of the following is NOT a cause of metabolic acidosis?
A. Renal Failure
B. Diarrhea

C. Diabetic Ketoacidosis
D. Vomiting
✓ THE ANSWER IS D. Vomiting would cause Metabolic Alkalosis not Metabolic
Acidosis. Metabolic Acidosis happens when the concentration of non-carbonic
acids increases or bicarb is lost from ECF and cannot be regenerated by the
kidney. (McCance et al. 2014, p. 126-127).
_____ refers to abnormal changes in the size, shape, and organization of mature cells.
A. Hypertrophy
B. Metaplasia
C. Hyperplasia
D. Dysplasia
✓ THE ANSWER IS D. "Dysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the size, shape,
and organization of mature cells" (McCance et al. 2014, p. 53-54).
