Back

Mutations in proto-oncogenes can lead to uncontrolled cell division, contributing to the development of cancer.

Front

How is facilitated diffusion similar to active transport?

Back

They both require a protein.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for storing genetic material?

Back

Nucleus.

Front

What is the structure of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back
