The difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is that eukaryotes:
a. all of these answers are correct
b. are smaller in size
c. contain organelles
d. have no nuclear membrane - ACCURATE>>>Contain organelles and complex internal
membranes
What is a consequence of plasma membrane damage to the mitochondria?
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 -
ACCURATE>>>Ans: B- influx of calcium ions halts adenosine triphosphate
(ATP) production

involvesprogrammed 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 -
ACCURATE>>>Ans: C- the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls additional
sodiumacross the cell membrane

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 - ACCURATE>>>Is the site of protein synthesis in a
cell
Obesity creates a greater risk for dehydration in people because:
A) adipose cells contain little water because fat is water repelling
B) the metabolic rates of obese adults are slower than those of lean adults
C) the rates of urine output of obese adults are higher than thos of lean adults
D) the thirst receptors of the hypothalamus do not function effectively -
ACCURATE>>>Ans:A- adipose cells contain little water because fat is water repelling

pair of identical twins?

a. x-linked dominant
b. autosomal recessive
c. autosomal dominant
d. x-linked recessive - ACCURATE>>>autosomal recessive
What causes the clinical manifestations of confusion, convulsions, cerebral
hemorrhage, and coma in hypernatremia?
A) high sodium in the blood vessels pulls water out of the brain cells into the blood
vessels, causing brain cells to shrink
B) high sodium in the brain cells pulls water out of the blood vessels into the brain cells,
causing them to swell
C) high sodium in the blood vessels pulls potassium out of the brain cells, which slows
the synapses in the brain
D) high sodium in the blood vessels draws chloride into the brain cells followed by
water, causing the brain cells to swell - ACCURATE>>>Ans: A- high sodium in the
bloodvessels pulls water out of the brain cells into the blood vessels, causing brain
cells toshrink
Organelle that contains the code needed for oxidative phosphorylation is:
a. mitochondria
b. lysosomes
c. nucleus
d. vacuoles - ACCURATE>>>mitochondria
Programmed cell death is an active process of cellular self-destruction. It is also
referred to as
a. apoptosis
