We also know that everyone likes to study differently, so we offer three different ways to use your HESI Biology practice exams:

  • Timed HESI Biology Practice Test Mode: Timed tests are just like the HESI Biology exam. Our system sets the test time to the same time limit, or time limit per question, that you will experience with the actual exam on test day. This is a great method of practicing your pacing, especially if you're concerned about completing your exam within the time limit.

  • Untimed HESI Biology Practice Test Mode: With this option, you can take your time and thoroughly consider each question before answering. This rush-free mode is recommended for those dipping their toes into exam prep or just starting on their journey to take the HESI Biology. It is a great way to test your knowledge with no time limit and highlight blind spots you will need to come back to in your studies - one of the many advantages of taking HESI Biology practice exams with Exam Edge!

  • HESI Biology Study Guide Mode: Not sure where to even begin with your studying? Try a practice test in explanation mode. The questions act as a study guide, giving you the option to see the answers as you take the test. Study guide mode is an effective way to review the HESI Biology exam subject matter before you take the exam in a timed format. We recommend taking a practice test in explanation mode and taking thorough notes as the best method for beginning your test prep.

HESI Biology - Features Sample Questions

 Of the following, which is able to diffuse through a cell membrane?





Correct Answer:
 a cholesterol molecule


to understand why a cholesterol molecule can diffuse through a cell membrane while other substances like nucleotides, carbohydrates, and ions cannot, we need to consider the structure and properties of both the cell membrane and the substances in question. the cell membrane, primarily composed of a phospholipid bilayer, acts as a selective barrier to the passage of substances in and out of the cell.

phospholipids, the major constituents of the cell membrane, have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail. this arrangement creates a bilayer where the hydrophobic tails face inward, shielded from water, while the hydrophilic heads face outward towards the aqueous environments inside and outside the cell. this structure is crucial in determining what can pass through the membrane directly by simple diffusion.

cholesterol, a lipid molecule, is predominantly hydrophobic with a small hydrophilic component. due to its largely hydrophobic nature, cholesterol can interact favorably with the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids in the cell membrane. this compatibility allows cholesterol to diffuse through the membrane relatively easily, moving between the phospholipid molecules without requiring special transport mechanisms.

in contrast, nucleotides and carbohydrates are generally hydrophilic. nucleotides, the building blocks of dna and rna, are charged molecules due to their phosphate groups. similarly, most carbohydrates are polar due to their numerous hydroxyl (oh) groups. these hydrophilic properties make it difficult for nucleotides and carbohydrates to cross the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer directly by simple diffusion.

ions, being charged particles, are also inherently hydrophilic and are repelled by the hydrophobic interior of the cell membrane. the passage of ions through the cell membrane typically requires specific transport proteins, such as ion channels or pumps, which help them cross the membrane despite their inability to diffuse directly through the lipid bilayer.

in summary, the ability of a cholesterol molecule to diffuse through a cell membrane while other substances like nucleotides, carbohydrates, and ions cannot, is largely based on the hydrophobic or hydrophilic nature of these molecules relative to the hydrophobic core of the membrane's phospholipid bilayer.


Digital Flashcards

Are you looking to boost your HESI Biology exam preparation? Add a pack of digital flashcards to your study routine. Flashcards offer a unique way to enhance your understanding of the material in several ways:

  • Enhanced Retention: Flashcards reinforce learning from practice tests through active recall and spaced repetition, which improves memory retention.
  • Flexibility: You can use them anytime, anywhere, when you have limited time, and when you cannot complete a practice test.
  • Immediate Feedback: Instant feedback on flashcards helps quickly identify and focus on improvement areas.

Using digital flashcards with practice tests offers you the best chance at passing your HESI Biology exam by improving your understanding and retention.
