Front

What is the function of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria convert the energy of glucose into the usable form of ATP.

Front

How do cells from the same organism have different shapes and functions?

Back

During differentiation, different parts of the DNA in each type of cell are activated, resulting in the different structure and function of the cells.

Front

In what part of the plant cell does photosynthesis take place?

Back

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts.

Front

What gas is produced by the freshwater plant Elodea during photosynthesis when placed in direct light?

Back

Bubbles of oxygen are produced as a result of photosynthesis.

Front

What structure in plant cells allows them to produce their own food?

Back

Chloroplasts allow plant cells to produce their own food.

Front

What is the primary role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

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 is the role of DNA in cell differentiation?

Back

DNA contains the instructions that determine how a cell will differentiate and what functions it will perform.

Front

What is the difference between plant cells and animal cells in terms of energy production?

Back

Plant cells use chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells use mitochondria for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the significance of the cell wall in plant cells?

Back

The cell wall provides structure and protection to plant cells.
