Compared with accidental necrotic cell death, apoptosis is typically
A.a regulated dismantling process that usually limits leakage of cell contents and tissue damage
B.accidental cell rupture
C.cell growth
D.a type of mitosis
Explanation
Core Concept
Apoptosis is a regulated program in which the cell is dismantled and cellular material is packaged for removal, which usually limits damage to neighboring tissue compared with necrosis. It is too absolute to define apoptosis as causing 'no inflammation' under all biological conditions.
Correct Answer
Aa regulated dismantling process that usually limits leakage of cell contents and tissue damage
