What is a prokaryotic cell?

Back

A prokaryotic cell is a type of cell that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include bacteria.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, providing protection and structural support.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, requiring energy (ATP).

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What are the stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle consists of Interphase (G1, S, G2 phases) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis).

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle where the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) provides energy for various cellular processes, including active transport and muscle contraction.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
