Inhibition of ATP production by hypoxia causes all of the following except:
A) Increased production of lactic acid in the cytoplasm
B) Degranulation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum
C) Dilation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum
D) Swelling of the mitochondria
E) Alkalinization of the hyaloplasm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypoxia leads to a decrease in ATP production, which can cause increased lactic acid production due to anaerobic glycolysis, degranulation and dilation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum due to impaired protein synthesis and processing, and swelling of the mitochondria due to dysfunction in the electron transport chain. However, it does not lead to alkalinization of the hyaloplasm; instead, the intracellular environment tends to become more acidic due to increased lactic acid production.
