Cell Processes

Front

What is Osmosis?

Back

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

Front

What is Diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until they are evenly distributed.

Front

What organelle is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles that convert oxygen and glucose into chemical energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the correct order of the phases of Mitosis?

Back

The correct order of the phases of Mitosis is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What are the stages of the Cell Cycle?

Back

The stages of the Cell Cycle are Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the role of Chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is the difference between Osmosis and Diffusion?

Back

Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water, while diffusion refers to the movement of any type of molecules.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope begins to break down, and spindle fibers start to form.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows Mitosis, where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the function of the Cell Membrane?

Back

The Cell Membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
