Front

What is the control center of the cell?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the DNA.

Front

What is the smallest unit of life?

Back

The cell is the smallest unit of life.

Front

What are the three reactants needed for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2), water, and sunlight are needed for photosynthesis.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

The products of photosynthesis (C6H12O6 + O2) are the reactants of cellular respiration, and the products of cellular respiration (CO2 + H2O) are the reactants of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

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

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.
