Question

question 10 of 10
a clients condition has resulted in a decrease in work demands of most cells in the body.
which change within the cell will likely result from this decrease in work?
decreased programmed cellular death
decreased size of organelles
increased oxygen consumption
increased mitochondrial growth

Explanation:

When work demands on cells decrease, cells undergo atrophy. Atrophy involves a decrease in cell size, which includes a decrease in the size of organelles like mitochondria. Decreased programmed cellular death (apoptosis) is not directly related to decreased work demands. Increased oxygen consumption and increased mitochondrial growth would be more likely with increased work demands (like in hypertrophy when cells need to do more work).

Answer:

Decreased size of organelles
