Which of the following is NOT a major form of cell death?

• Pyroptosis
• Apoptosis
• Necrosis
• Oncosis
• I have no idea!

What is another name for apoptosis?

• Programmed cell death
• Uncontrolled cell death
• Pyroptosis
• Oncosis
• I want to go home!

What are the characteristic morphological changes associated with apoptosis?

• Changes in the structure of the cell
• Enzyme-dependent biochemical processes
• Formation of vacuoles within the cytoplasm
• Swelling and bursting of the cell membrane
• Get me out of here!

Which form of cell death is characterized by uncontrolled cell death?

• Necrosis
• Apoptosis
• Pyroptosis
• Oncosis
• Give me a break!

What is autophagy?

• A process through which cells recycle their own components
• A type of programmed cell death
• A process through which cells divide and multiply rapidly
• A form of uncontrolled cell death
• I have no clue!

How does necrosis differ from apoptosis in terms of its impact on surrounding tissues?

• Necrosis causes inflammation and damage to surrounding tissues, while apoptosis does not.
• Apoptosis causes inflammation and damage to surrounding tissues, while necrosis does not.
• Both necrosis and apoptosis cause inflammation and damage to surrounding tissues.
• Neither necrosis nor apoptosis cause inflammation or damage to surrounding tissues.
