QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ The Cell. Answer: The cell nucleus contains DNA- the genetic
blueprint for cellular respiration
◉ Mitochondria. Answer: powerhouse of the cell, produces energy
(ATP) from oxygen and sugar(Cellular respiration). The conversion of
glucose into ATP is an essential process of metabolism
◉ Aerobic metabolism. Answer: The cellular process in which oxygen is
used to metabolize glucose. Energy is produced in an efficient manner
with minimal waste products.
◉ Anaerobic metabolism. Answer: The metabolism that takes place in
the absence of oxygen; the principle product is lactic acid. This impairs
bodily functions
◉ Alveoli. Answer: tiny sacs of lung tissue specialized for the
movement of gases between air and blood.
,◉ Ventilation. Answer: Breathing. Movement of gases to and from
alveoli
◉ Respiration. Answer: Exchange of gas between cells and blood
stream. When the alveoli is not working properly, you are just
ventilating

◉ 911 telephone access. Answer: Available in most but not all areas
◉ Enhanced 911. Answer: has the additional capability of automatically
identifying the caller's phone number and location.
◉ Evaluate program. Answer: Program for evaluating and improving the

◉ Programs under "Evaluate program". Answer: Quality improvement
(QI), quality assurance (QA), or total quality management (TQM)
, ◉ Roles and Responsibilities of the EMT. Answer: personal safety;
safety of the crew, patient, and bystanders; patient assessment; patient
care; lifting and moving; transport; transfer of care; patient advocacy
◉ Physical Traits of EMT. Answer: Lift and carry up to 125 pounds,
good eyesight, color vision, receive oral and written instructions and
communicate effectively.
◉ Two ways research impacts EMS. Answer: Patient outcomes and
Evidence-Based
◉ Patient outcomes. Answer: the long-term survival of patients
◉ Evidence-based. Answer: description of medical techniques or
practices that are supported by scientific evidence of their safety and
efficacy, rather than merely on supposition and tradition.

(EMR)
2) Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
3) Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT)
4) Paramedic
