McCance Pathophysiology - The Cell.
Chapter 1 WITH C OMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Cells - Correct Answer: Function as multicellular social organism
Cellular communication - Correct Answer: "Cellular crosstalk" - how messages originate, are transmitted,
received, interpreted, and read by the cell. It maintains cellular function and specialization.
Intercellular signals - Correct Answer: Allow each cell to determine its position and specialized role.
Chemical fondness - Correct Answer: Cell must demonstrate this for other cells and the environment in
order to maintain the integrity of the entire organism.
Absence of chemical fondness - Correct Answer: Conversation brakes down and cells either adapt or
become vulnerable to isolation, injury, death or disease.
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes - Correct Answer: Living cells are generally divided into these two major
classes. Differ in chemical composition and biochemical activity.
How Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes differ - Correct Answer: Differ in chemical composition and
biochemical activity, protein production and synthesis (due to RNA structural differences), enzyme
content and mechanisms of transport on outer cellular membrane.
Eukaryotes - Correct Answer: The cells of higher animals and plants. Also, the single called organisms:
fungi, Protozoa, and most algae.
Eukaryotes have.. - Correct Answer: Larger and more extensive intracellular anatomy and organization.
Histones which bind with DNA and are involved in super coiling of DNA.
, Membrane bound intracellular compartments, called organelles (includes well-defined nucleus). Several
chromosomes.
Prokaryotes - Correct Answer: Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), bacteria, and rickettsiae.
Prokaryotes have - Correct Answer: No organelles. Nuclear material that is NOT encased by a nuclear
membrane. No distinct nucleus. No histones (class of proteins).
The nuclei of prokaryotes - Correct Answer: Carries genetic info in a single circular chromosome.
Differentiation - Correct Answer: Or maturation. The process in which cells become specialized =
different functions and cell type.
Cells with highly developed functions (like movement) - Correct Answer: May lack other properties, like
hormone production.
Eight chief cellular functions - Correct Answer: Movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption,
secretion, excretion, respiration.
Movement - Correct Answer: Muscle cells generate forces to produce movement.
Muscles attached to bones = - Correct Answer: Limb movements
Muscles that enclose hallow tubes or cavities = - Correct Answer: Move or empty contents when they
contract
Conductivity - Correct Answer: The chief function of nerve cells.
Conduction = - Correct Answer: Response to a stimulus, an electric potential that passes along the
surface of the cell to reach its other parts.
