Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ?

Back

Front

What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus?

Back

The Golgi Apparatus receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.

Front

What type of transport is exocytosis?

Back

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

What is the difference between active and passive transport?

Back

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