Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Mitochondria are rod-shaped power plants within each cell that produce energy in the form of ATP, which allows the cell to function. Red blood cells and DNA are not formed in the mitochondria. If oxygen is not available, lactic acid builds up as a by-product of cellular respiration. Lactic acid leaves the cell and is transported to the liver for conversion to glycogen and carbon dioxide.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A paradoxical hypertension occurs when clonidine is given with beta-blockers, and an increased rebound hypertension with clonidine withdrawal may also occur. It is best to avoid this combination. Bradycardia, angina, and syncope are not associated with this drug combination.
