UT TYLER FNP NURS 5350 ADV PATHO
EXAM 1 EXAMINATION TEST 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GUARANTEED TO PASS
⩥ passive mediated transport. Answer: "facilitated diffusion;" moving
molecules through membranes WITHOUT expending energy; moving
DOWN a concentration gradient
⩥ active mediated transport. Answer: "active transport;" Requires the
expenditure of metabolic energy (ATP); moving UP or AGAINST a
concentration gradient; the major cellular energy currency
⩥ Endocytosis. Answer: a section of the plasma membrane enfolds
substances from outside the cell, invaginates (folds inward), and
separates from the plasma membrane, forming a vesicle that moves into
the cell; lyzosomal enzymes destroy molecules in the vesicles
⩥ Pinocytosis. Answer: "Cell drinking;" A type of endocytosis that
involves the ingestion of fluids and solute molecules through formation
of small vesicles
, ⩥ Phagocytosis. Answer: "Cell eating;" a type of endocytosis that
involves the ingestion of large particles, such as bacteria, through
formation of large vesicles (vacuoles)
⩥ Exocytosis. Answer: secretion of macromolecules; helps replace
portions of the plasma membrane; also releases molecules synthesized
by the cells into the extracellular matrix
⩥ 3 ways cells communicate. Answer: endocrine signaling, paracrine
signaling, synaptic signaling
⩥ endocrine signaling. Answer: remote signaling by secretion molecules
(hormones) in the blood to remote cells
⩥ paracrine signaling. Answer: secretion of local chemical mediators
that are quickly taken up and immobilized; contact signaling by plasma
membrane bound molecules
⩥ synaptic signaling. Answer: secretion of neurotransmitters @
specialized junctions called chemical synapse; contact signaling via gap
junctions
⩥ Glycolysis. Answer: the 2nd phase of cellular energy production
following digestion; in this phase, a glucose molecule is split forming 2
