Back

Diffusion

Front

What is the function of the lipid bilayer in the cell membrane?

Back

Proteins can only transport uncharged particles through the lipid bilayer.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus in a cell?

Back

The Golgi apparatus prepares new macromolecules such as fats and lipids by sorting and encasing them before sending them to the correct destination within a cell.

Front

What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus contains most of the genetic material and is responsible for gene expression and DNA replication.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Back

Passive transport does not require energy, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes break down waste materials and cellular debris.
