Cell Structure and Function

Front

What type of cells are plants and animals classified as?

Back

Eukaryotic cells are complex cells that contain a nucleus and organelles.

Front

What is a key characteristic of prokaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are extremely small, simpler, and lack membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What does the cell membrane maintain?

Back

Homeostasis/Equilibrium, which is the balance of substances inside and outside the cell.

Front

How do cells transport molecules against the concentration gradient?

Back

Active transport using ATP is required to move molecules against the concentration gradient.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides support and protection to the cell.

Front

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

Back

The nucleus stores genetic information and controls cellular activities.

Front

What organelle is responsible for energy production in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, producing ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy.

Front

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Back

Passive transport does not require energy, while active transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances.

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within the cell membrane that contains organelles and is the site of many cellular processes.
