BIOL 2401 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
STUDY SHEET 2026 ACCURATE QUESTION
AND ANSWER DIGEST
◉ ribosomes.
Answer: site of protein synthesis
◉ nucleolus.
Answer: Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes
◉ chromatin.
Answer: Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell
◉ rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Answer: An endomembrane system covered with ribosomes where
many proteins for transport are assembled.
◉ smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Answer: creates lipids or fat
◉ mitochondria.
,Answer: An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which
the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production
occur.
◉ pinocytic vesicle.
Answer: Vesicle formed at the plasma membrane to allow the
absorption of large molecules.
◉ Golgi apparatus.
Answer: A system of membranes that modifies and packages
proteins for export by the cell
◉ interphase.
Answer: the resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a
cell, or between the first and second divisions of meiosis.
◉ prophase.
Answer: first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the
chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take
up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
◉ metaphase.
Answer: second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes
line up across the center of the cell
,◉ anaphase.
Answer: the third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome
pairs separate and move toward opposite poles
◉ telophase.
Answer: the final phase of cell division, between anaphase and
interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to
opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.
◉ cytokinesis.
Answer: division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter
cells
◉ osmosis.
Answer: Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable
membrane
◉ diffusion.
Answer: Movement of molecules from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration.
◉ isotonic.
, Answer: when the concentration of two solutions is the same
◉ hypertonic.
Answer: when comparing two solutions, the solution with the
greater concentration of solutes
◉ hypotonic.
Answer: when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser
concentration of solutes
◉ passive transport.
Answer: the movement of substances across a cell membrane
without the use of energy by the cell
◉ lyse.
Answer: Cell bursting
◉ crenation.
Answer: This happens when a cell shrinks and shrivels; can result in
cell death if severe.
◉ tissue.
Answer: A group of similar cells that perform the same function.
