What type of cellular transport is represented by the movement of substances out of the cell?

Back

Exocytosis

Front

What is active transport and how does it function in terms of concentration?

Back

Active transport requires energy and is the movement of a substance from low to high concentration.

Proteins

Front

What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix made up of nucleotides, which include a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis where mRNA is translated into amino acid sequences.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA into mRNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.
