Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, C

Potentially undesirable cellular alterations that can occur during the cell cycle include hyperplasia and anaplasia. Hyperplasia is an increase in the number or density of normal cells, while anaplasia is the regression of a cell to an immature or undifferentiated cell type. Differentiation is a normal process occurring over many cell cycles that allows cells to specialize in certain tasks. Dysphagia and adaptation are not a part of the cell cycle.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Passive cellular transportation does not require energy and includes facilitated diffusion, diffusion, osmosis, and filtration. Active cellular transportation requires energy and includes active transport pumps, endocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and exocytosis.
