EOC Flashcard Review Part 1

Front

What is the longest stage of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle, where the cell grows and prepares for division.

Front

What happens during transcription?

Back

During transcription, a mRNA strand is made from a DNA template.

Front

What type of diffusion is represented when molecules move directly through the membrane without assistance?

Back

Simple Diffusion is when molecules move directly through the membrane without assistance.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the process when molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ in terms of carbon dioxide?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP stores energy that is used for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the difference between active and passive transport?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is the significance of the cell membrane?

Back

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