What is a phospholipid and where is it found in the cell?

Back

A phospholipid is a type of lipid molecule that is a major component of cell membranes, specifically found in the cell membrane.

Front

What type of cell transport does not require ATP?

Back

Passive transport is the type of cell transport that does not require the cell to use ATP.

Front

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) provides a pathway for proteins to be transported, modifies proteins, and synthesizes membrane lipids.

Front

What happens to red blood cells in a hypertonic environment?

Back

Red blood cells will shrink because water will diffuse out of the cell.

Front

What is true about passive transport?

Back

In passive transport, substances are moved from high to low concentration.

Front

Define the cell membrane.

Back

The cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates and protects the interior of all cells from the outside environment.

Front

What is the role of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells, maintaining their shape.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Front

What is the difference between active and passive transport?

Back

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

Front

What are chloroplasts and their function?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
