Patho Exam 1 Questions & Answers
The nucleus , which is
1. essential for function and survival
of the cell.
A) is the site of protein synthesis
B) contains the genetic code
C) transforms cellular energy
D) initiates aerobic metabolism
Although energy is not made in
mitochondria, they are known as the
2.
“power plants” of the cell because
they:
A) contain RNA for protein synthesis.
utilize glycolysis for oxidative
B) energy.
extract energy from organic
C) compounds.
store calcium bonds for muscle
D) contractions.
Although the basic structure of the
cell plasma membrane is formed by
3. a lipid bilayer, most of the specific
membrane functions are carried out
by:
A) bound and transmembrane proteins.
B) complex, long carbohydrate chains.
surface antigens and hormone
C) receptors.
a gating system of selective ion
D) channels.
, To effectively relay signals, cell-to-
4. cell communication utilizes
chemical messenger systems that:
A) displace surface receptor proteins.
accumulate within cell gap
B)
junctions.
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.
release secretions into extracellular
D)
fluid.
Aerobic metabolism, also known as
5. oxidative metabolism, provides
energy by:
removing the phosphate bonds from
A) ATP.
combining hydrogen and oxygen to
B) form water.
activating pyruvate stored in the
C) cytoplasm.
breaking down glucose to form
