7th Chapter 2 (Both Parts) Review

Front

What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)?

Back

The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is a type of endoplasmic reticulum that does not have ribosomes on its surface. It is involved in the synthesis of lipids and detoxification processes.

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

During interphase, the cell grows, DNA replicates, and the cell prepares to divide. However, the nucleus does not divide during this phase.

Front

What is the function of the Nucleolus?

Back

The Nucleolus is an organelle found within the nucleus that is responsible for producing ribosomes.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is a process by which substances move across cell membranes with the help of transport proteins, without the use of energy.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they generate ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

Define 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 the difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and replication, consisting of interphase and the mitotic phase.
