What is the primary function of active transport in cells?

Back

To move substances against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

What distinguishes eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.

Front

How do aquaporins facilitate water transport in cells?

Back

Aquaporins are specialized proteins that allow water to pass through the cell membrane more efficiently.

Front

What is the significance of capillary action in plants?

Back

Capillary action helps transport water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

What is the difference between cohesion and adhesion in water?

Back

Cohesion refers to water molecules sticking to each other, while adhesion refers to water molecules sticking to other substances.
