What is the main difference between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Back

Cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water, while photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

In a hypertonic solution, water molecules move out of the cell, causing it to shrink.

What is 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 are nucleotides?

Back

Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil instead of thymine.

What are the main components of a plant cell?

Back

Plant cells typically have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and large vacuoles.
