A+ TEST BANK 1
, MSN 570 ADVANCED
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
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
: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
Packages protein for secretion to the outside of the cell –

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
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

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

RNA is synthesized from a DNA template - Correct Answer :Transcription is best defined as a
process by which
a. A base pair substitution results in a mutation of the amino acid sequence
b. DNA polymerase binds to the promoter site on RNA.
c. RNA directs the synthesis of ribosomes for protein synthesis
