HESI A2 MOMETRIX ANATOMY &
PHYSIOLOGY
What do all cells have in common? correct answers Plasma membrane, cytoplasm,
organelles, and DNA.
What is the order from cell to organism? correct answers Cell, tissue, organ, organ
systems, organism.
What is the function of ribosomes? correct answers Synthesize proteins from amino
acids.
What is the function of the golgi complex? correct answers Synthesizes materials and
transports proteins out of cell.
What is the function of vacuoles? correct answers Sacs used for storage, digestion,
and waste removal.
What is the function of vesicles? correct answers Move material throughout cell and
bring material in and out
What is the function of the cytoskeleton? correct answers It helps a cell keep its shape
What is the function of microtubules? correct answers Skeletal support and cell
mobility.
What is the function of cytoplasm? correct answers Where chemical reactions take
place.
What is the function of the cell membrane? correct answers The cell membrane
regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also protects and supports the cell.
What is the function of endoplasmic reticulum? correct answers Transports materials
through the cell.
What is the function of mitochondria? correct answers Production of cell energy, cell
signaling, cell differentiation, and growth regulation and cell cycle.
What is the importance of membranes within the mitochondria? correct answers
Encloses mitochondrial DNA and ribosomes. Between inner and outer membranes are
cristaes in which chemical reactions occur that release energy, control water levels
within cell, recycle and create fats and proteins.
, What is the centrosome? correct answers an organelle near the nucleus of a cell that
contains the centrioles (in animal cells) and from which the spindle fibers develop in cell
division.
What is a centriole? correct answers a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in
animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell
division.
What is the function of lysosomes? correct answers Digest proteins, lipids, and
carbohydrates. Transports undigested substances to the cell membrane for removal.
What is cilia? correct answers Tiny hairlike structures that propel substances along the
surface of the tissue (Like in your throat/esophogus)
What is flagella? correct answers Long, thin whip-like structure that helps organisms
move through moist or wet surroundings
What is the function of the nucleus? correct answers Contains the cell's genetic
material.
What are chromosomes? correct answers Chromosomes are long, thin strings
composed of DNA and proteins which carry genes.
What is chromatin? correct answers the material of which the chromosomes of
organisms other than bacteria (i.e., eukaryotes) are composed. It consists of protein,
RNA, and DNA.
What is the nucleous? correct answers The site where components of ribsomes are
made.
What is the nuclear envelope? correct answers double membrane that surrounds the
nucleus.
What are nuclear pores? correct answers Many opening called nuclear pores extend
through the nuclear envelope. Nuclear pores control the movement of substances
between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
What is the nucleoplasm? correct answers fluid in the nucleus.
What is the function of the cell membrane? correct answers The cell membrane
regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also protects and supports the cell.
Is the cell membrane selectively permeable? correct answers Yes regarding to the size,
charge, and solubility.
