What is the net movement of water into a cell during osmosis when water is 90% inside the cell and 95% outside the cell?

Back

Water moves into the cell.

Front

What is the significance of the process that creates genetic variation in resulting cells?

Maintaining homeostasis.

Front

Define Cellular Respiration.

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Define Photosynthesis.

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is the significance of DNA replication before cell division?

Back

It ensures that each new cell receives an exact copy of the DNA.
