UT TYLER FNP NURS 5350 Adv Patho
Exam 1 Questions & Answers (Grade
A+)
Seven specialized cellular functions: -
correct answer ✅movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption,
secretion, excretion, respiration, and reproduction
Nucleus -
correct answer ✅aids in cell division and control of genetic info,
contains DNA (think the egg yolk)
Ribosomes -
correct answer ✅RNA-protein complexes; float freely in
cytoplasm; provide sites for cellular protein synthesis; packages and
modifies protein for transportation and secretion
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) -
correct answer ✅specializes in the synthesis and transport of the
protein and lipid components of most of the cells organelles
(memory factory)
Golgi complex -
correct answer ✅Organelle that packages and distributes proteins
into vesicles and transports within and outside of cell (refining plant
in cytoplasm; traffic cop- what goes in and out of cytoplasm)

Exam 1 Questions & Answers (Grade
A+)
Lysosomes -
correct answer ✅An organelle containing digestive enzymes;
digest and remove wastes, digest debris from dead cells; if
ruptured, they can digest cell contents; autodigestion occurs in
starvation
Mitochondria -
correct answer ✅Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site
of ATP (energy) production; pathway for metabolism of carbs, lipids,
and amino acids into ATP; to keep the cell alive; can grow and self-
replicate in the cell
Cytoskeleton -
correct answer ✅A network of fibers that holds the cell together,
helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement; "bones and
muscle" of the cell; have cilia to move it on out
Characteristics of plasma membrane -
correct answer ✅made up of lipids and proteins; the basic
component is a bi-layer of lipid molecules that are responsible for
the structural integrity of the membrane

Exam 1 Questions & Answers (Grade
A+)
The _______________ prevents water soluble molecules from
entering cells across the plasma membrane -
correct answer ✅Phospholipid layer
Prokaryote -
correct answer ✅unicellular organism lacking a nucleus; contains
NO organelles (include cyanobacteria, bacteria, and rickettsia)
Eukaryote -
correct answer ✅organism whose cells contain a nucleus; "good
nucleus;" larger w/ intracellular anatomy
cellular receptors -
correct answer ✅protein molecules on the plasma membrane, in
the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus that can recognize and bind with
specific smaller molecules called ligands
3 types of cellular receptors -
correct answer ✅plasma membrane receptors, channel-linked
receptors, non-channel-linked receptors
