24/25 - Fall Final Day 2 of 3 cell transport - cell division

Front

What does the rate at which wastes are produced by a cell depend on?

Back

The rate at which wastes are produced by a cell partially depends on the cell’s volume.

Front

What happens immediately before cell division occurs?

Back

The cell's genetic material is copied.

Front

During which phase do chromatids separate?

Back

Chromatids separate during Anaphase.

Front

What is the movement of particles with the concentration gradient using protein 'helpers'?

Back

Facilitated diffusion.

Front

What type of transport occurs when solutes move against the concentration gradient?

Back

Active Transport.

Front

Define 'cell division'.

Back

Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.

Front

What is the significance of the surface area to volume ratio in cells?

Back

A higher surface area to volume ratio allows for more efficient transport of materials in and out of the cell.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane in transport?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Back

Passive transport does not require energy, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.
