, CHAPTER 1: THE CELL IN HEALTH AND ILLNESS
This chapter explores cellular structure, function, and communication, emphasizing
homeostasis, cell signaling, membrane dynamics, and energy metabolism. Key concepts
include organelle roles, cellular transport, and adaptive versus maladaptive changes. Nurses
must understand cellular responses to stress and injury to assess, prevent, and manage disease
processes effectively in clinical practice.
1. Which organelle is primarily responsible for energy production in the cell?
A. Nucleus
B. Ribosome
C. Mitochondrion
D. Golgi apparatus
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration, providing energy
for cellular functions. Other organelles serve different roles, such as protein synthesis
or genetic regulation.
2. The plasma membrane’s main function is to:
A. Store genetic material
B. Control the passage of substances into and out of the cell
C. Produce proteins
D. Digest cellular waste
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The plasma membrane regulates selective permeability, maintaining
homeostasis. Nucleus stores DNA, ribosomes synthesize proteins, and lysosomes
handle waste digestion.
3. Which process moves substances from high to low concentration without energy use?
A. Active transport
B. Osmosis
C. Facilitated diffusion
D. Both B and C
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Osmosis (water) and facilitated diffusion (molecules via transport proteins)
are passive processes. Active transport requires energy to move against a gradient.
4. Which type of cell injury is caused by oxygen deprivation?
A. Ischemic injury
B. Chemical injury
C. Infectious injury
D. Immunologic injury
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ischemic injury results from reduced blood flow and oxygen delivery.
Chemical, infectious, and immunologic injuries involve other mechanisms of cell
damage.
5. Which cellular adaptation is reversible and results in cell size reduction?
A. Hypertrophy
B. Atrophy
C. Hyperplasia
D. Metaplasia
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Atrophy reduces cell size due to decreased workload or nutrient supply.
