What are Eukaryotic Cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells are complex cells that contain a nucleus and organelles, and are found in organisms such as plants, animals, and fungi.

Front

What are Prokaryotic Cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are simpler cells that do not have a nucleus or organelles, and are typically unicellular organisms like bacteria.

Front

What is the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Front

What is the main function of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, providing energy for plants and oxygen for other organisms.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are ATP (energy), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water (H₂O).

Front

What is passive transport?

Back

Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy, relying on concentration gradients.

Front

What are two examples of passive transport?

Back

Diffusion and Osmosis.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

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

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.
