Front

What are the stacks of disks in the chloroplast called?

Back

Grana

Front

What is the process called when molecules move across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a carrier protein?

Back

Facilitated Diffusion

Front

Is a virus considered living or non-living?

Back

Non-living

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

What is the function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

Define osmosis.

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Front

What is the role of the mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, where the process of aerobic respiration occurs, producing ATP from glucose.

Front

What is the difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves substances along their concentration gradient.

Front

What is the significance of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis and protecting the cell's internal environment.
