Back

Eukaryotic cells are found in multicellular organisms.

Front

What is the primary function of the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for protein and lipid synthesis, and transportation of molecules.

Front

What is endocytosis?

Back

Endocytosis is a type of cell transport where cells engulf substances from the outside environment.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for waste elimination in cells?

Back

The lysosome eliminates waste in cells.

Front

What type of cell contains genetic material in the form of multiple linear chromosomes?

Back

Eukaryotic cells contain genetic material in the form of multiple linear chromosomes.

Front

What is the function of the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell?

Back

The nucleus stores genetic material and controls cell activities.

Front

Define osmosis.

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both.

Front

What is passive transport?

Back

Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy.
