Anatomy & Physiology Chapter 3 Quiz

This cell structure is semipermeable which means it only allows certain materials to pass into and out of the cell.

• ribosome

• mitochondria

• cell membrance

Mitosis produces diploid cells which are body cells. Body cells have _______ chromosomes.

• 56

• 46

• 23

• 32

Meiosis involves two consecutive cell divisions from a parent cell into four daughter cells. This produces haploid cells which are sperm and eggs. They have ___________ chromosomes.

• 46

• 56

• 32

• 23

The correct order the cell cycle phases is...

• Metaphase, Telophase, Anaphase, Prophase, Interphase

• Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Prophase, Metaphase, Telophase, Anaphase, Interphase

There are two types of cell reproduction that occur in the human body. Those two types of reproduction are...

• Cytokinesis and Chromosomes

• Mitosis and Meiosis

• Interphase and Exocytosis

Phagocytosis and pinocytosis are both types of ______________ because the cell actively encloses or surrounds particles in the cell.

• Exocytosis

• Endocytosis

• Mitosis

This is the movement of molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration until molecules are evenly distributed. This process does not require energy from the cell.

• Endocytosis

• Filtration

• Diffusion

Osmosis is the ____________ of water through a semipermeable membrane. This process does not require energy from the cell.

• filtration

• endocytosis

• diffusion

Randy, a current nursing student, was asked to transport a tissue sample to the lab. Why should he put the sample in an isotonic solution?

• He wants to make sure the cell crenate (shrink) so they will keep their cytoplasm inside the cell.

• He wants to make sure the cells do not gain or lose water.

• He wants to make sure the cells take in water so they can be easily seen under the microscope.

When cells are exposed to a _____________ solution, the cells will shrink because there is less water and more solutes outside the cell so water will diffuse out due to osmosis.

• isotonic

• hypertonic

• hypotonic
