What is a plant cell?

Back

A plant cell is a type of cell that contains chloroplasts and a cell wall, which are not found in animal cells.

Front

What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus controls the production of proteins and contains the cell's genetic material.

Front

What is a ribosome?

Back

A ribosome is a cell structure where protein synthesis occurs, receiving information from the nucleus.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

Active transport is the process that requires cellular energy to move substances across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient.

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that transform light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy for the cell by converting food into usable energy.

Front

What is hemoglobin?

Back

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body and carries carbon dioxide back to be expelled.

Front

How does the structure of a protein affect its function?

Back

The shape of a protein is crucial to its function; structural changes can impair its ability to perform its role.

Front

What is passive transport?

Back

Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
