PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
THE BIOLOGIC BASIS FOR DISEASE IN
ADULTS AND CHILDREN
8th Edition TESTBANK

,Chapter 01: Cellular Biology



MULTIPLE CHOICE



1. Which statement best describes the cellular function of metabolic absorption?

a. Cells can produce proteins.

b. Cells can secrete digestive enzymes.

c. Cells can take in and use nutrients.

d. Cells can synthesize fats.

ANS: C

In metabolic absorption, all cells take in and use nutrients and other substances from their surroundings.
The remaining options are not inclusive in their descriptions of cellular metabolic absorption.

2. Where is most of a cell’s genetic information, including RNA and DNA, contained?

a. Mitochondria

b. Ribosome

c. Nucleolus

d. Lysosome

ANS: C

The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed largely of RNA, most of the
cellular DNA, and the DNA-binding proteins, such as the histones, which regulate its activity. The
mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration and energy production.

Ribosomes’ chief function is to provide sites for cellular protein synthesis. Lysosomes function as the
intracellular digestive system.

,3. Which component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by using oxygen to remove
hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction?

a. Lysosomes

b. Peroxisomes

c. Ribosomes

d. Endosome

ANS: B



Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain enzymes that use oxygen to remove hydrogen
atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction that produces H2O2, which is a powerful oxidant
and potentially destructive if it accumulates or escapes from peroxisomes.

Ribosomes are RNA-protein complexes (nucleoproteins) that are synthesized in the nucleolus and
secreted into the cytoplasm through pores in the nuclear envelope called nuclear pore complexes.
Lysosomes are saclike structures that originate from the Golgi complex and contain more than 40
digestive enzymes called hydrolases, which catalyze bonds in proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and
carbohydrates. An endosome is a vesical that has been pinched off from the cellular membrane.

4. Which cell component is capable of cellular autodigestion when it is released during cell injury?

a. Ribosome

b. Golgi complex

c. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

d. Lysosomes

ANS: D

The lysosomal membrane acts as a protective shield between the powerful digestive enzymes within the
lysosome and the cytoplasm, preventing their leakage into the cytoplasmic matrix. Disruption of the
membrane by various treatments or cellular injury leads to a release of the lysosomal enzymes, which
can then react with their specific substrates, causing cellular self- digestion. The chief function of a
ribosome is to provide sites for cellular protein synthesis. The Golgi complex is a network of flattened,
smooth vesicles and membranes often located near the cell nucleus. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum
is involved in steroid hormone production and removing toxic substances from the cell.

5. Which cAMP-mediated response is related to antidiuretic hormone?

a. Increased heart rate and force of contraction

b. Secretion of cortisol

c. Increased retention of water

d. Breakdown of fat

ANS: C

Antidiuretic hormone leads to increased retention of water in the body. Epinephrine causes increases in
heart rate and force of contraction. Increased cortisol secretion is due to ACTH. Breakdown of fat is due
to glucagon.



PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering



6. During which phase of the cell cycle is DNA synthesized?

a. G1

b. S

c. G2

d. M



ANS: B

The four designated phases of the cell cycle are: (1) the G1 phase (G = gap), which is the period between
the M phase (M = mitosis) and the start of DNA synthesis; (2) the S phase (S = synthesis), during which
DNA is synthesized in the cell nucleus; (3) the G2 phase, during which RNA and protein synthesis occurs,
the period between the completion of DNA synthesis and the next phase (M); and (4) the M phase,
which includes nuclear and cytoplasmic division.

7. What organic compound facilitates transportation across cell membranes by acting as receptors,
transport channels for electrolytes, and enzymes to drive active pumps?
